Star Wars DVDs

Summary:

The galaxy is weary after three long years of the Clone Wars. Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi have become legendary heroes in their campaigns against the droid forces of the evil General Grievous. Anakin and his secret wife, Padme Amidala, have been separated for months, and he finally reunites with her to learn that she is pregnant. He is plagued by visions of her dying in childbirth, haunting images of a possible future. Anakin is determined to stop her from dying, no matter the cost. This leads Anakin down a dark path to commit terrible deeds. Obi-Wan Kenobi must face his former apprentice in a ferocious lightsaber duel on the firey world of Mustafar.

Why We Like It:

This is it - the final Star Wars movie. The Jedi massacre. The birth of Luke and Leia. The rise of the Emperor and, of course, Darth Vader. Fans seem to consider this either George Lucas' ultimate masterpiece or a noble failure that is nonetheless forgiven because, well, it's Star Wars. Lucas delivered a darker, more mean-spirited Star Wars movie with this installment, and young Hayden Christensen did an acceptable job having the entire emotional weight of the story put on his relatively inexperienced shoulders. No matter what you may think of it personally, Revenge of the Sith will probably always be remembered with bittersweet emotion - as it is the last. Buy it. Watch it over and over.
