Synopsis:-
War! The Republic is crumbling
under attacks by the ruthless Sith Lord, Count Dooku.
There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere.
In a stunning move, the fiendish droid leader, General
Grievous, has swept into the Republic capital and kidnaped
Chancellor Palpatine, leader of the Galactic Senate.
As the Separatist Droid Army
attempts to flee the besieged capital with their valuable
hostage, two Jedi Knights lead a desperate mission to
rescue the captive Chancellor.
Plot:-
General Grievous (the part
alien/part droid leader of the Separatist military)
has taken Supreme Chancellor Palpatine prisoner and
they are both now on board the Trade Federation cruiser
with Count Dooku above Coruscant. To the Republic and
Confederacy of Independent Systems, this battle appears
to be a defining moment in the Clone Wars, but Count
Dooku and Palpatine planned this situation so they could
be together and plan for the future. However, Palpatine’s
true motives are to have Dooku killed and the Separatist
movement destroyed.
What the critics
say:-
With "Episode III —
Revenge of the Sith," the "Star Wars"
cycle at last comes to an end — or rather to a
middle, since the second trilogy, of which this is the
final installment, comes before the first in faraway-galaxy
history even though it comes later in the history of
American popular culture. Like many others whose idea
of movies was formed by (and to some extent against)
the galactically later, terrestrially earlier "Star
Wars" trilogy, I was disappointed by "The
Phantom Menace" and "Attack of the Clones."
So I approached "Episode III" warily, and
perhaps a little wearily. Would George Lucas at last
restore some of the old grandeur and excitement to his
up-to-the-minute Industrial Light and Magic? The answer
is yeth. This is by far the best film in the more recent
trilogy, and also the best of the four episodes Mr.
Lucas has directed. That's right: it's better than "Star
Wars." "Revenge of the Sith" ranks with
"The Empire Strikes Back" (directed by Irvin
Kershner in 1980) as the richest and most challenging
movie in the cycle. It comes closer than any of the
other episodes to realizing Mr. Lucas's frequently reiterated
dream of bringing the combination of vigorous spectacle
and mythic resonance he found in the films of Akira
Kurosawa into American commercial cinema.
