Lucas, you finally made a better movie than "Empire"

Warning: Spoilers
This is it, the movie that fans have been waiting to see for God knows how long. An average viewer would think that the expectations are too high, that no matter what the movie delivers, they will be sadly disappointed because they wanted more.

That doesn't happen in "Revenge of the Sith". Not a person walks out of that movie theater thinking that they have been let down.

"Revenge of the Sith" is the final "Star Wars" film and finally ties together the pre-trilogy of Anakin Skywalker's life with the future story of Luke, Han, and Princess Leia.

We see the big battle between Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi, the birth of the twins Luke and Leia, and the unavoidable creation of the Galactic Empire. The audience is on the edge of their seats as Anakin agrees to serve the Dark Side as everyone's favorite villain, Darth Vader. You can feel yourself almost pleading him to stop, for Anakin to realize what he's doing and see through the Emperor's tricks, but of course, you know that's not going to happen.

Lucas has put together a stellar masterpiece to end the saga. When the Jedi are unmercifully hunted down and killed, one is reminded of the climatic scene from "The Godfather", when Michael settled "all family business". When the movie ends, you'll be sitting in your seat, grinning from ear to ear, and all you'll want to do is shout "REWIND!"
