Neal Bailey's Star Wars Report Card

I could go on forever. Let’s put it bluntly. Yoda versus the Emperor. Anakin versus Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan versus Grievous. Mace versus the Emperor. Anakin and Obi-Wan versus Dooku. That alone is enough to stop your heart.

Then add in the slaughter of the Jedi, Chewbacca, clone troopers turning into Storm Troopers, Padme and the childbirth, the immolation of Anakin, this movie is full of things we’ve been waiting to see since 1982 with baited breath.

If you even like Star Wars in a passing way, this is the movie for you. To add on, there is even a down ending, which many have marked as the sign of the best Star Wars movie, Empire.

Even FURTHER, Jar Jar has NO lines in this film. What more can you ask for?

Several key moments are killed by bad execution. Vader screaming “NOOOOOO!” didn’t work, because you can’t scream through a vocalizer very well. Padme and Anakin’s romance is also a bit stilted. There is also a LOT of sadness, and if you go in expecting a happy movie, you’re going to come out angry.

Almost as good as Empire, stopped a hair short by just not having a cathartic revelation of some kind.
