George Lucas draws the
Star Wars film series to a close with this dark
sci-fi adventure which sets the stage for the events of the first film and brings the saga full circle. After a fierce battle in which
Obi-Wan (
Ewan McGregor) and
Anakin (
Hayden Christensen) join Republic forces to help free
Chancellor Palpatine (
Ian McDiarmid) from the evil
Count Dooku (
Christopher Lee) and his minions,
Anakin is drawn into
Palpatine's confidence.
Palpatine has designs on expanding his rule, and with this in mind he plants seeds of doubt in
Anakin's mind about the strength and wisdom of the Jedis.
Anakin is already in a quandary about how to reveal to others the news of his secret marriage to
Padmé Amidala (
Natalie Portman) now that she is pregnant, and visions which foretell her death in childbirth weigh heavy on his mind. As
Anakin finds himself used by both the Jedis and the Republic for their own purposes -- particularly after
Mace Windu (
Samuel L. Jackson) expresses his distrust of the young Jedi -- he turns more and more to the Force for help, but begins to succumb to the temptations of its dark side. Many of the
Star Wars series regulars returned for
Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith, including
Frank Oz as the voice of
Yoda,
Anthony Daniels as
C-3PO,
Kenny Baker as
R2-D2, and
Peter Mayhew as
Chewbacca.

The Origin of Darth Vader.
The third and final chapter of George Lucas' Star Wars prequel is the best of the series. It tells how Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) betrays the Republic by finally turning to the Dark Side and becomes Darth Vader as the evil Sith lord, Darth Sidious (Ian McDiarmid) takes over as emperor. Also starring Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Kenny Baker, Anthony Daniels, Jimmy Smits, Samuel L. Jackson, Frank Oz, Peter Mayhew, Christopher Lee, Ahmed Best, Temuera Morrison, and Keisha Castle-Hughes. James Earl Jones once again provides the voice of Darth Vader. May the Force Be With You.
