As long as I live, I will not understand how so many people collectively etched into their own brains that this is somehow irredeemable trash to be reflexively dunked upon whenever it comes up in conversation.
The culmination of George Lucas' missteps and accidental strokes of genius, Revenge of the Sith is less than the sum of its parts, but the sum of its parts is unfathomable. The political and emotional chess board is so intricately set up as this…
