An end to the beginning of the end? At least for George Lucas. Although it is certain that fans are probably willing to stomach another trilogy. The best of the three was the Sith. This time Lucas didn’t forget the plot and fill the story with lights and sound effects.

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith really created a connection between the beginning and the original Star Wars trilogy. If there were every any doubt about the story line, this final episode puts all false to rest. From beginning to end the film brilliancy in color and imagery, effects that only the mind can dream up have come true to form in the finale.

Padme, who is one of the only characters that remains the same throughout the trilogy is less seen in the final episode. Which plays in positive favor as the original beginning and the second episode actress brought nothing to the part. Her acting career doesn’t leave much to be desired. Except for this role. Most Star Wars flicks usually cause the character to try to speak “too perfect” English. Causing a bad literary, London like accent, ruining the entire role.

The love between Padme and Aniken is still unknown by some but to the key players of the counsel are all to familiar with the secret wedding of the two. The result of their love creates a baby. With Padme eager to quickly retreat to exile so that they can raise their child together. But Aniken who is to wrapped in anger, tries to convince Padme that he does not want to hide hoping that the counsel will accept them both together. The impatience of Aniken is easily realized and used to assist (guy) in the plot to over throw the Jedi Masters and have the dark side reign.

This episode leaves Samuel L. Jackson dead. And the end of the unknown, weird foreign characters like Ja Ja Banks.

George Lucas gets an A+ for continuity and interested in the storyline. As evidence proved by the previous Beginning Trilogy, the lack of plot was replaced by ample effects. Which of course proves Mr. Lucas is just like everyone else with a new toy…a kid in a candy store. Once the initial effect wares off he gets down to business.
