- Revenge of The Sith (I used to hate it, but after some time I’ve found a lot to appreciate about what Lucas was trying to do, check out this for a little more context as to what I mean - http://brightlightsfilm.com/star-wars-episode-iii-revenge-sith-george-lucass-greatest-artistic-statement/#.V_1rpfkrLIU

It was Revenge of the Sith — after the great volcano planet climax of Revenge of the Sith. I think it’s one of the greatest sequences in all of modern art. The thing is once I had written about it, I realized, as I went out in the world, how few people had actually seen the movie, because people had given up on the prequels long before.
Therefore, I think anyone who dismisses what I say about the sublime quality, the vision, the execution, the emotions, and the passions of that scene, they don’t know what I’m talking about, because they haven’t exposed themselves to it.
Ranking ROTS third is a little bit high for my taste but it’s a quite reasonnable point of view, this episode being very unique and visually beautiful and bold. It might even be the most beautiful episode of the saga.
