I’m glad I decided to watch all 11 of the Star Wars movies in chronological order. It really did make a difference in how I perceive the entire Skywalker Saga. It also gave me an interesting perspective on the relative quality of the individual movies in comparison with one another.
We watched the third movie in the Star Wars prequel trilogy last night – Revenge of the Sith.
This is not a review. It’s just my thoughts after watching this movie for the first time since it was released in theaters in 2005. This isn’t meant to rain on anybody’s love for this movie – it’s an attempt to articulate my own feelings about it. Your mileage may mostdefinitely vary.
I know I must have gone to the theater to see Revenge of the Sith, but I honestly don’t remember anything about it (unlike the first two movies in the prequel trilogy). So, essentially, last night I was watching it for the first time.
The plot of Revenge of the Sith was actually a little tighter than the first two movies, so that was a plus in its favor. It still had its share of clunky, stilted dialogue and wooden acting, but certainly not as much as in The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones.
Warning! Spoilers Below (if there can be such a thing as spoilers for a movie released in 2005).
