It has been three years since the Clone Wars began. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) rescue Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) from General Grievous, the commander of the droid armies, but Grievous escapes. Suspicions are raised within the Jedi Council concerning Chancellor Palpatine, with whom Anakin has formed a bond. Asked to spy on the chancellor, and full of bitterness toward the Jedi Council, Anakin embraces the Dark Side.

Critics Consensus

With Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, George Lucas brings his second Star Wars trilogy to a suitably thrilling and often poignant -- if still a bit uneven -- conclusion.

Outlook

The technical wizardry, the special effects, the ear-buzzing sound, the mind-numbing action and those magnificent light-sabres are all there.

The special effects, of course, are incomparably good and the digital photography achieves a dazzling clarity.

Ewan McGregor is just right, as always, as humble Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Takes great advantage of the plot from the previous movies, and does a great smooth transition into Episode 4, "A new hope", and does great in its plot, the cast and the twists involved.

Después de que pasarán más de 20 años desde que se estreno star wars episodio la venganza de sith con una épica aventura el aspecto de todos los personajes se salían fuera de la saga original palpatine en esta entrega estaba esperando para tomar el poder del cenado y de toda la galaxia anakin y padre ocultabas un amor prohibido desde la perspectiva de la entrega anakin en media de la guerra espacial al principio todos sabemos que desde las primeras entregas en esta entrega el propósito es mucho más claro que en las dos entregas anteriores el destino de anakin unirse al lado oscuro la llegada de darth vader tenemos un Obi Wan más maduro vínculo entre hermanos y maestros anakin construir muy bien y aquí esta muy firme tiene una escala de acción mucho más intensidad en las dos entregas anteriores con una aventura 100 vital con las secuencias que tiene la película se hace sumente entretenida hay muchos momentos de la película no ha envejecido del todo bien las locuras de arturito el otro factor de george lucas es cuando un niño berrinches con unas interpretaciones un poco patéticas con la cara de enojo la interpretación de ewan por su carismatranspira el persona de obi wan síno magnífica otro actor fue natalie portman con una interpretación impecable en esta entrega los personajes tienen bastante jugo qué exprimir las animaciones son un punto muy importante con palpatine unas bufandas sagradas una crítica suave qué una protestanimo y los sacerdotes se casaran punto para libertad reto un punto mediano 15 bastante orgánico y entendible el show místico cuando palpatine le cuenta a anakin con una música bastante lúgubre un inversores curiosamente en un sentido la saga es bastante circular es impactante que los héroes caigan.
