HOLLYWOOD REPORTER Reviews EPISODE III And Freakin' Loves It

"The final episode of George Lucas' cinematic epic 'Star Wars' ends the six-movie series on such a high note that one feels like yelling out, 'Rewind!'

The first two episodes of Lucas' second trilogy - 'The Phantom Menace' (1999) and 'Attack of the Clones' (2002) - caused more than a few fans of the original trilogy to wonder whether this prequel was worth it. The answer is a qualified yes." Click over for the rest of Kirk Honeycutt's strong review.
