Star wars revisited vs original movie#
Palpatine’s reveal happens somewhat unexpectedly but you’re anticipating it the whole movie and his dialogue/evil head turns just make it seem that much more obvious – there’s nothing left to the imagination. Looking back on Mace Windu’s death, it does seem fitting for him to die trying to take down Palpatine after he reveals himself as Darth Sidious But Anakin’s betrayal in that scene feels too rushed – considering less than five minutes before that he was confiding in Windu for advice on what to do about Palpatine. It’s brilliant and takes place perfectly between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.Īs I said, this movie kills off everyone you know isn’t gonna make it to A New Hope and because of that, it does build up a little anticipation about how characters are going to die.

SIDENOTE: If you haven’t seen Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars mini series, do yourself a favor.
Star wars revisited vs original series#
It didn’t take me until watching the Clone Wars mini series created by Genndy Tartakovsky that made me like Grievous, because they flesh out his character. I don’t like General Grievous in this movie, I think he’s unnecessary and just gives Obi-Wan something to do while Anakin kills younglings. Red on blue blue on green green on red red on purple blue on blue all of it!” Hell, General Grievous has four lightsabers! That’s absurd. I feel like George Lucas said to himself, “We need every combination of colors fighting each other in this movie. There are more lightsaber on lightsaber fights in this movie than anything. It gives you everything you could want in this conclusion, which is to move every character into the spot they start out in, in A New Hope, and kill off the ones that don’t make it. Revenge of the Sith is basically a “We owe this to you” film. I remember when I was younger and it bugged me that Count Dooku was only in one scene of the movie before getting his ass handed to him by Anakin but it does make sense to get Palpatine’s current apprentice out of the way to make room for the one we’ve been waiting three movies for.

Life seems good, despite the Clone Wars raging on, and Anakin seems like he would never turn to the dark side of the force… Right? Revenge of the Sith starts out on a high note with a space battle with the classic “Our heroes are back” feel to it. Upon watching this movie again, I noticed that the opening shot is actually really REALLY cool.
