"This is the end for you my master." - Anakin Skywalker

This is the one where Anakin finally turned to the dark side. He turned because he was afraid that his wife Padme (Natalie Portman) would die in childbirth. Yoda told him that "fear is the path to the dark side," and he was right all along. They were looking for the evil Sith Lord. It turned out to be Chancellor Palpetine (Ian McDiarmid) who he had developed a close relationship with. However the Chancellor had been secretly trying to manipulate him the entire time, and then he gets him to join the dark side. It was all part of the Chancellors evil plan to kill all of the remaining Jedi, and get their chosen one on his side. When he changes sides he gets the name "Darth Vader." Count Duku was originally his apprentice, but he had Anakin kill him because he was getting old, and he wanted somebody new and young. That is why he acquired Anakin.

I don't hate the prequels to Star Wars as much as everybody else around me seems to, but I don't like them either. The reason why the prequels are not nearly as good as the originals is because the originals were original, and they had the ability to do anything they wanted. The prequels were made to build up to the original trilogy, and they had less freedom in their creativity, because they had to connect the three prequels to the original three films. The prequels are good because they showed how it all began for everybody in the originals. That is really the only reason why I would like them, but if you were to ask me would I rather watch "Revenge of the Sith" or "Empire Strikes back" I would go with "Empire Strikes Back" every time. The prequels were mostly bad, and I think that they could have come up with better ideas to explain how it all started. I think that they are bad but not as bad as everybody else thinks, because I feel like it was more of a thing where the original trilogy was so much better that the prequels couldn't keep up with the epicness. I hope I am not alone there, and some people feel that way too, but

This is the only decent one. It had its good and bad things about it. What was good about it was that it was very entertaining, and it improved some of the flaws from "Attack of the Clones." I thought that the character of Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) was way better in this film. In the previous film I thought that he was too winey, and I found him annoying in that one. He was too immature in that one, but he really grew up more for this one. However he was still very naïve, and he was manipulated very easily by Chancellor Palpetine (Ian McDiarmid) to join the dark side. I feel like they developed his character more for this, and in a better way.

What was wrong with the film was that they tried a little bit too much to make it epic. The fight between Obi Wan (Ewan McGregor) and Anakin was perhaps the most entertaining duel in either trilogy, but they took it too far. But it wasn't awful though. It had some cool parts, and then a few really over the top parts. The battle that was going on between Darth Sidius and Yoda at the same moment was the one I didn't like at all. It started off and it looked like it would have been great, but then it just went downhill. Now that we have much more CGI they just pump more and more of it into the light saber duels, and take them too far. The best duel in either trilogy was when Luke first fought Darth Vader at the end of "Empire Strikes Back." That was great, because it felt realistic, and it wasn't overblown with CGI.

The film was decent, and it gets put down because it wasn't as good as any of the originals. I think it had its ups and downs, but for a prequel it was pretty good. For one of the originals it wasn't that good. You have to see it anyways just to see how Anakin became Darth Vader.
