Well it had to happen sooner or later, and quite frankly I’m surprised it’s taken this long… but the first little “review” of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith has made it’s way online… and apparently it’s very good. Keen in mind this isn’t coming from any sort of “official” source, but the good folks over at TheForce.Net (The guy who once ran it is actually a good friend of mine) are rarely misleading. The happy dwellers at Empire Online give us this little rundown:
It rocks, apparently, ranking second only to The Empire Strikes Back in the overall saga. High praise indeed. The full force.net review, by Josh Griffin, won’t be up on the site until November 1 (provided Lucasfilm’s cease and desist stormtroopers don’t pay him a visit first). Meanwhile, though, if you want to know more, first-hand info from the screening has been posted on one of the site’s message boards. And when we say spoiler heavy, we mean spoiler heavy.
We obviously won’t go into great detail, but with reports of some serious Darth Sidious-Yoda action, mind-blowing effects and action (for those sequences already complete, that is), more new planets than you can shake a Star Destroyer at, and new creatures (Yoda at one point rides a dragonfly-esque creature called a Can-Cell), we’re more excited than Jabba the Hutt at an all you can eat buffet.
Oh man! Yoda fighting Sidious?!?! I am beside myself with joyful glee! You have to understand, even if I KNEW the new film was going to suck I’d still be excited about seeing it… and I think it’ll be good. And after reading this review, I’m even more pumped. So, you wanna read that spoiler heavy review? Are you SURE? Cause if YOU do… then you can go here. Holy crap it looks really good.
