Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

I saw Revenge of the Sith on last Thursday, and I was very impressed. It was a very good movie, and I left the theater feeling quite sad over the fates of Anakin and Padme.

In thirty years, when the series is remade, the future director and writers will undoubtably have fun fixing the six films to actually flow together properly.

[Let me hasten to point out, there's no evidence anyone is clamoring to remake the movies right now. But Lucas created a durable myth, and the nature of myths is that they are remade over and over again. Recall that the Greek tragedies, which Lucas is certainly writing in the shadow of, were rewritten frequently by the ancient dramatists.]
