The Jedi's next move will be against the Senate.Įvery single Jedi, including your friend Obi-Wan Kenobi, is now an enemy of the Republic. When the Jedi learn what has transpired here, they will kill us, along with all the Senators. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.īecause the Council did not trust you, my young apprentice, I believe you are the only Jedi with no knowledge of this plot. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He could actually save people from death? He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis "the wise"? The fear of losing power is a weakness of both the Jedi and the Sith. Have they asked you to betray the Jedi code? The Constitution? A friendship? Your own values? Think. Why is it, then, that they have asked you to do something you feel is wrong? They think inward, only about themselves. The Sith rely on their passion for their strength.

Episode III is easily the best of the new trilogy-OK, so that's not saying much, but it might even jockey for third place among the six Star Wars films. But best of all, it seems like for the first time we actually care about what happens and who it happens to. Rather, because Episode III is a beginning as well as an end, it will trigger fond memories as it ties up threads to the originals in tidy little ways. The end of this prequel trilogy also should inspire fans to want to see the original movies again, but this time not out of frustration at the new ones. In fact, a great part of the fun is knowing where things will wind up but finding out how they'll get there. Unless you've been living under a rock the last 10 years, you know that Anakin will transform into the dreaded Darth Vader and face an ultimate showdown with his mentor, but that doesn't matter. The Sith Lord in hiding unleashes his long-simmering plot to take over the Republic, and an integral part of that plan is to turn Anakin away from the Jedi and toward the Dark Side of the Force. Star Wars Time Line (click for larger image) After setting up characters and situations for the first two and a half movies, Episode III finally comes to life. That means spectacular scenery, dazzling dogfights in space, a new fearsome villain (the CGI-created Grievous can't match up to either Darth Maul or the original Darth Vader, though), lightsaber duels, groan-worthy romantic dialogue, goofy humor (but at least it's left to the droids instead of Jar-Jar Binks), and hordes of faceless clone troopers fighting hordes of faceless battle droids. All this is in the first half of Episode III, which feels a lot like Episodes I and II. On another front, Master Yoda (voiced by Frank Oz) leads the Republic's clone troops against a droid attack on the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk. The Star Wars Family Tree (click for larger image) It's just the latest maneuver in the ongoing Clone Wars between the Republic and the Separatist forces led by former Jedi turned Sith Lord Count Dooku (Christopher Lee). Picking up the action from Episode II, Attack of the Clones as well as the animated Clone Wars series, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), pursue General Grievous into space after the droid kidnapped Supreme Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid). Ending the most popular film epic in history, Star Wars: Episode III, Revenge of the Sith is an exciting, uneven, but ultimately satisfying journey.
