Note: Continuing the reviews of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, this post, too, will have spoilers. Even though The Revenge of the Sith has a 79% Tomatometer score from critics, it still gets bunched together with the “prequels,” thus making it necessary to go over its relative merits. Critics: 79% Audience: 65% IMDb: 7.6 Revenge […]
