Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith

George Lucas, Miles Lane, Doug Wheatley; Tsuneo Sanda — 2005

The official comics adaptation! The action of the Clone Wars comes to a dramatic conclusion, and events are put in place for A New Hope. Battles rage in space, armies clash on alien worlds, heroes become martyrs, and friends become enemies-all leading up to the biggest, longest, and most incredible lightsaber duel in Star Wars history! This is the film that answers the questions, How did Anakin succumb to the dark side? What happened to Luke and Leia's mother? And why are there no Jedi around in the original Trilogy? Artist Doug Wheatley (Star Wars: Empire volume two) brings a level of life and detail to the adaptation that rivals that of the films themselves. An epic graphic novel not to be missed!

Actual rating: 3,5. If I had to choose, I think Revenge of the Sith is my favourite Prequel movie. But I cannot say this graphic novel was a worthy adaptation of the movie. It felt too short, too rushed at some points. While the Attack of the Clones GN was full of detail and even had some extra scenes put in there, this one had actual movie scenes missing, which was such a shame. I didn't really like the art style either, but that may be because I had recently read the AotC graphic novel, and I really liked that art style, which is completely different from this one. Such a shame.
