Happy Star Wars Day! This year, I decided to rewatch Revenge of the Sith for its 20th Anniversary. What a great time.
I remember the first time I saw Revenge of the Sith on June 17th, 2005. We went as a family to the movie theater and to this day it is still one of the best experiences I have ever had at the movies. Revenge of the Sith is one of my favorite Star Wars movies. It is definitely the best out of the prequels.
My favorite scene will always be the one when Anakin and Padme have the silent exchange from across Coruscant during the sunset. Anakin is hearing Palpatine tell him that if the Jedi destroy him Anakin will have no way of saving Padme. It is an almost silent scene and the acting is perfect from both Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen.
Revenge of the Sith is even better after watching the Clone Wars show. I’ll forever recommend watching the show because it really is brilliant. Dave Filoni did an incredible job adding to the overall story and fitting it in with what we had in the movies already. There are so many great story arcs. It’s definitely one of the best pieces of Star Wars canon.
John Williams music is spectacular in this movie, like always. It goes along perfectly with Anakin’s story. Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor are so great in these roles. Ewan is the reason why Obi-Wan is one of my favorite characters in the entire series, along with James Arnold Taylor, who voiced Obi-Wan in Clone Wars. Ewan’s delivery brings so much to the character and I love the bits of humor. I’m glad Hayden is finally getting the recognition he deserves in the fandom.
