Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith

Firstly the translation of episode three in BM is hilarious 'Perang Bintang: Dendam kumpulan Sith' hahahahaha!!!!! When the title come out i was like what the fuck!!!??? Oh well, anyways this is definately the best star wars installment compared to the first two, but i would still say the old star wars were better (episodes 4,5 and 6). The show starts of with a massive space battle right outside the republic capital Coruscant, and immediately as soon as the show starts its all action all the way. Unlike all the other star wars this doesn't instalment didn't have much story build up and it focuses more on getting rid of the insurgent of the separatist groups and how anakin turns to the dark side. Episode 3 is more like an action show, its like figthing here and figthing there...the fighting doesn't really seem to stop, which is all good la considering you get to see lots and lots of lightsabers and blaster everywhere. So the whole thing about the first three episodes goes something like this: The first episode serves as an introduction to what is to come, the second is to build the platform for the final episode in other words the 'all you need to know' comes from this episode and the fourth (a little) for what is to come. And episode three is to fill in the gaps, just like my earlier post on episode three we all know whats gonna happen...and truly it is just that, so its like cutting off the loose ends so to speak.

In my opinion the most interesting factor is what made anakin turn to the dark side. Well of course if you've already watch the show you would know the answer is actually he himself and his lust for power. But you have to admit that his love for padme did play a part in his decision, however if thinking that it is purely her fault that made him turn then i would argue that it is also because of her that he was able to be a jedi in the first place...but seriously i still stand my ground that he himself wanted to go to the dark side, well at least after he had indulge in the powers the dark side has to offer anyway. An interesting note you get to see R2-D2, Chewbacca and Wedge Antilles. Oh and C3-P0 now looks like he did in episodes 4,5 and 6. The story concludes with padme giving birth to the twins luke and leia and how they were separated right after birth. The rest of the story is continued in ep 4, 5 and 6 which most of us has endeared in our hearts. But i was sad to see mace die that way...after all he was slapping the emperor around with his 'purple dildo' ROFL!!!

This episode is a definate must watch for all fans of the series, definately the best instalment among the first three episodes. And as mentioned before its good cause it ties up the loose ends of the story before it transitions into the older episodes. Lucas has definately put some magic back into the movie too, there were definately moments in the show where you could feel that magic. But i'd still prefer the old episodes anytime anyday...however having said that i'd recommend that you go watch for yourself to decide :)
