THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE!!!!

SPOILERS AHEAD
This Episode ties all the loose ends left from "A New Hope" and "The Empire Strikes Back", with the best special effects of the Trilogy, and maybe of all Sci-Fi movies. Personally, I love the fact that Darth Vader, my favorite character in motion picture history, turns good, and that his spirit(as Anakin)can be seen at the victory celebration alonside the spirits of Obi-Wan and Yoda. The ending is just perfect.
Also, the music is the best from the Trilogy, adding depth to the characters and underscoring their development. Arguably, John Williams did his best work here.
Anyway, this should have been the last Star Wars movie, so that people could remember this series as the greatest achievement in cinema history, and the greatest story ever told.

Judging about the prequels is going way over the top

How can people judge a film series so poorly when it hasn't even been finished yet? I believe everyone has a right to an opinion, but come on! The films are not finished yet. But anywho, everything I've read and seen about episode III , I think even most people who rated the recent prequels "bad" are going to crap their pants this coming May 19. The movie will be incredibly dark and will be giving a higher rating than PG.(pg-13 most likely). I've read reviews from some of the people that watched the presentation by Lucas said it was the best science fiction film of all time, "it was better than The Matrix and Terminator 2 combined."

Good, but ruined at the end!

I shall confine my points in this review to the scene with the ghostly Anakin, Yoda, and Obi Wan. The subsitution of the Anakin we are to see in Episode 3 for the original aged, ghostly Anakin, was an unmitigated disaster.

What is so disturbing about the replacement is not merely that youth and beauty have triumphed over age and wisdom. As for beauty, the youthful Anakin's face shows a little too much fat; on an older person it would be more excusable! As for youth, Luke Skywalker surely would look up seeing a brother, not a father, and the father-son relationship has been critical to the epic trilogy. Presumably George Lucas made the decision to help unify the prequels with the originals. He may also have been thinking of redemption, of an eternal youth, like C.S. Lewis's Narnia characters in "The Last Battle." But he was wrong to do this, quite apart from the visual and cognitive dissonance created by the juxtaposition of the still-aged Obi Won and Yoda with the youthful Anakin.

The new depiction denigrates Anakin's greatest moment of spiritual clarity: that moment when he said "no" forever to the Dark Side of the Force, and "yes" to the Good Side. That moment came on the Death Star when Anakin Skywalker-Darth Vader reached deep into his own soul and found that love for his son was more important than all the emperors and systems in the universe. Indeed, it was the culmination of an internal conflict that he felt all along, and that we witnessed, for example, on the moon of Endor when the man-machine was lost in thought among the trees. Anakin's love conquered his despair, and, as he himself admitted, saved him.

I reacted strongly against the change on a personal level, too. Each of us, like Anakin, has made bad decisions, made turns toward the Dark Side, if you will. If we turn to the good side, everyday, whatever grace we may exhibit as a humans will always be lived out of the sum total of our life's experiences. In our own lives, we cannot undo the past. To turn back the clock, to be a young Anakin again, at the very point where his journey goes so wrong, is both paradox and fantasy, in the negative sense of the word. Furthermore, the entire six part series is about Anakin. It makes no sense. Unlike many mistakes, this one is completely reversable--at least for the next release of the DVD's; I certainly hope that in the inevitable boxed set for all six episodes George Lucas will give us back the "original" ghostly Anakin. I'd certainly be prepared to fork out my hard-earned money again to have this single mistake fixed.

Note that my "Real Name" badge should now read: "Seoul, South Korea."

oh my

Parece ser q Lucas se dejo arrastrar por las masas y hizo una pelicula tan rosa y cheesy que solo faltaba cheerleaders.Solo le doy 2 estrellas por la pelea de Yoda. ASi que si la alquilan les recomiendo que le den FFw hasta el final, y asi no sufriran nauseas.

Second only to the Lord of the Rings trilogy

Okay, let me begin by stating that my rating for this item (five stars) is, as always with boxed sets, the average of the three items. I am a massive Star Wars fan, and I feel that this trilogy is second only to "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy from New Line Cinema. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that "A New Hope" is my fifth favorite film if all time. (That would be after the three LOTR films, Jaws, and Raiders of the Lost Ark.) I know that most people like "The Empire Strikes Back" the best, but I like "A New Hope" just slightly more. Now, I like each of the five films from greatest to least in this order.

"A New Hope" (Five Stars)
"The Empire Strikes Back" (five stars)
"Attack of the Clones" (four stars)
"Return of the Jedi" (four stars)
"The Phantom Menace" (three stars)

Other than "Episode I" which damaged the "Star Wars" legacy forever, each of these movies are monumental achievements. The effects have been redone a bit in these special editions (that monster in the sand has a mouth, The Emporer explodes when he dies, etc.), which keeps them fresh and exciting. I've always been a defender of "Return of the Jedi," and I don't understand why so many people don't like it. Admittedly, it pales in comparison to its predecessors, but its a very good film nonetheless. One thing I notice is that film trilogys usually start out very well and then get progressively worse. The Matrix trilogy is a superb example of this (even though I liked "The Matrix Reloaded" a lot.) I'm getting off topic. If you've never seen the "Star Wars" trilogy, do yourself a favor and buy this set. You should also watch the prequels, even though "The Phantom Menace" is pretty mediocre.
