"If you're not with me, then you're my enemy." – Anakin Skywalker

Why watch this? We meh'ed the prequels: Episodes I and II. This dark, disturbing film gave us what we needed.

Plot Summary: Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker struggles with a difficult choice after growing weary of the Jedi Council and being tempted by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's promises of power. The Clone Wars wage on, but a dark plot threatens the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order itself. As Obi-Wan Kenobi hunts a dangerous foe, Anakin's fate hangs in the balance, with the potential to dramatically reshape the galaxy forever.

Dad's Preview: The impossible idea George Lucas had for the Star Wars "prequels" was to make them for kids. Original fans, now in their 30's, wanted the origin of the most incredible villain in movie history! This trilogy IS the telling of Darth Vader's story - it can't be light and funny. This film finally delivered, and is by far the best of the three. The scene where Anakin finally becomes Vader rips at your emotions. The decision to cast Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi was genius, and his presence really anchors each film. This third film in this trilogy finally made me feel something!
