MCN Review: The good news is that the cinematic coda is a more enjoyable repast than the prior two installments of the closing trilogy. It has the swashbuckling daring-do of the early films and the occasional dash of glib humor that Harrison Ford's Han Solo would deliver with slick dispatch. And for the masses that may be sufficient to quell a collective appetite.

MCN Review: Rooting for a movie to be bad is not my way. The lights go down, I have faith - until my eternal hope turns out to be foolish. I wanted Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith to be good and worthy diversion, to disprove my instincts that George Lucas has become a terrible writer, a lazy filmmaker, a man who fills frames with all kinds of doodling even as he empties his mind of essential storytelling.
