"After two questionable disappointments, Revenge Of The Sith serves up the anticipated answers with a flourish. But it is the spark of humanity that sets it apart from its predecessors, not its grand pyrotechnics."

"Episode III has the same faults as episodes I and II (terrible dialogue and worse acting) plus two new ones - a lack of geographical sense and a tendency to leave gaping plot holes."
Chris Tookey, Daily Mail

"Any fears that the climax to the series would disappoint are swept away in a roller-coaster of breathtaking action, romance and a heartbreaking choice between good and evil."
Mirror

"Whatever one thought of the previous instalments, this dynamic picture irons out most of the problem and emerges as the best in the overall series since The Empire Strikes Back."
Daily Variety

"The first two episodes of Lucas's second trilogy caused fans to wonder whether this prequel was worth it. The answer is a qualified yes."
Hollywood Reporter
