Stunning End to an Amazing Trilogy
1 February 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Good ol' Harry Plinkett ends his review trilogy with a stunning dissection of the flaws inherent with the final film of the "Star Wars" prequel trilogy. He analyzes everything wrong with "Revenge of the Sith", from poorly-developed characters, sluggish pacing, and mishandling the themes that made the original trilogy so beloved. He does this with biting humor, which keeps the viewer engaged the entire time. On the negative side, I didn't really care for the side story attached to this review; it really isn't needed. It detracts from the points that Plinkett makes, and it really isn't that funny of a story.

This review did good in making the sinister Emperor into an iconic comedic character. Emperor Palpatine is one of my favorite movie villains, and the saving grace of "Revenge of the Sith". Plinkett impersonates the Emperor with gusto, the way he should, and he just reinforces what an awesome villain he was. Calling Palpatine "Monster Mash" was the icing on the cake. Please watch this review; if you hated the prequels, you'll feel validated and satisfied.
