And it’s all done with little didacticism and sometimes even little dialogue. Characters are not just struggling for life and death or trying to stop some ultimate evil they are confronting the cracks of society and the attraction of destroying old structures to make something better. The plot is like a wound clock, once turned on it just runs and runs and runs because it can’t do anything else.Ĭontradictorily (and that word will come up a lot when discussing Revenge of the Sith) it is also a film with room for contemplation. Because so much has to happen in Sith due to no more prequels being possible, there is little time for meandering or losing focus. Part of that is a return of something inherent in A New Hope and missing in much of what came after – narrative drive. It’s frankly amazing that it works as well as it does. It challenges preconceptions of how the events it covers unfolded while fitting snuggly in place with the stories which chronologically follow but were told first. It pushes the digital backlot and alien world building further than it has ever gone in the series, but it also ends in a grimy, physical confrontation on a lava world. It has much of the stylized dialogue and delivery of the previous two films, but it also boasts the best acted scene in the series. Sith is rife with contradictions as well. It’s also a film which is packed to the gills in a way even Attack of the Clones can’t touch as plot upon plot reaches conclusion, while finding more time for quiet introspection than any other part of the saga. Revenge of the Sith is the film which puts the opera in space opera no other Star Wars film has done it better. At the same time, with its dip into full-on tragedy and melodrama, it fulfills the potential of its forebears - both literary and immediate - in a way none of the other films in the series can. In large part that’s because Sith by design must take on so much material from the original films and fully mesh the two trilogies together into some sort of whole. In the look back on The Phantom Menace, I mentioned that film was the purest form of George Lucas’ vision for Star Wars, and even in the face of Revenge of the Sith that’s still true. Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith In the run-up to the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and the end of the Skywalker Saga, we will be taking a look back at all of the Saga films and re-evaluating them and their legacy as a whole.
