This movie got good reviews, right? I mean, I know Episode I got good reviews, but this one did too, right? I suppose the CG is better than before–except for Yoda, who’s desperate for a good puppeteer–and the action sequences are a tad more engaging. The space battles, mostly. The actual lightsaber fight scenes are terrible. Lucas never establishes what makes a good… lightsaber-er.

This is a review of the motion picture score Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith by John Williams . “A bummer for sure, but one of the few bummers I sincerely enjoy listening to.” Star Wars scores come with high standards (duh). Neither The Phantom Menace nor Attack of the Clones have fulfilled them all, but both are great additions and have boasted a number of quality thematic additions to the saga. But when those lofty heights aren’t reached it is important to point out why, even if the score is still strong. So when I spend the next two paragraphs pointing ... Read Full Story
