As the finale approached, I just didn't want to leave my seat, because that meant it's all over...supposedly.

Lucas slips up on a few fronts en route, but doesn’t disappoint when it counts.

Of course, being best Star Wars film since Empire Strikes Back isn't saying much, when you consider what came between...

A grave and vigorous popular entertainment, a picture that regains and sustains the filmic Force [Lucas] dreamed up a long time ago, in a movie industry that seems far, far away.

This one had the most potential, and in that way it is the most disappointing.

The only one of the trilogy that actually works as both a good Summer movie and a solid sci-fi movie in its own right.

The bar has been set so low in mainstream Hollywood movies that it's not even worth seriously analyzing this stuff

The best-looking Star Wars episode of all, if not the most exciting, most imaginative or most affecting.

Lucas is a brilliant technician but a poor philosopher, and his lurchingly thought-out rendering of futuristic politics prevents the entire series from achieving the greatness to which it aspires.

.. even though Revenge is a better experience than Phantom Menace or Attack of the Clones, it doesn't add anything that satisfying or compelling to the big picture.

For me, Sith succeeds in providing a satisfying ending to the films while also closing a chapter of my own life.

It did what I thought was impossible after the previous two films: it made me a Star Wars fan again.

A great Star Wars film and, dare I say, a great film onto itself.

a visually delicious film filled with ostensibly crowd pleasing (read boring) lightsaber battles...

McGregor, Portman, and Christensen have all been brilliant elsewhere but the bonds between their characters are all in the dialogue, never between the lines. (And the less said about the lines themselves, the better.)
