Twenty-eight years after the first installment, Georges Lucas ends his six- episode saga. Things have changed quite a bit in three decades. Good and evil were clear cut in episodes IV to VI, not so given the blurry politics in episodes I to III.
The latter series went to great length, explaining Anakin Skywalker's journey to become a Jedi knight, and how faced with doubts, he eventually switched to the dark side of the force. Of course, this is what audiences have been waiting for – the final explanation.
Most heroes are plain and dull, but Skywalker’s companions, and his strong-minded nemesis, add substance and excitement to the story. In this respect, Revenge of the Sith, with its fully-fleshed characters is the best of the last three installments, even if some loose ends from previous episodes are somewhat clumsily tied.
