Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace 1999
After more than 25 years since the first Star Wars movie came out, and after years of rumours of more Star Wars movies, the Phantom Menace is released. The was the first in a trilogy dealing with the rise of an empire and how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vadar. In this movie the intergalactic republic is divided over the invasion of a small planet by a major voting block called the Trade Federation. We meet a young Obi Wan Canobe and the senator who would become the emperor. To many it was a disappointment. Many were critical of Jarjar Binks, who they found annoying. It is certainly not the best of the Star Wars movies, but it is worth watching.

Star Wars Episode II Attack of the Clones 2002
Set ten years after episode I, Anakin was now a young adult. An investigation into an assassination attempt lead to a complex mystery involving clones. In the same time, a conflict between the republic and the separatists gets heavy. Some criticize it for having way too much romance between Anakin and Ammidalla. I've also heard than many felt it was incomplete. The felt that too much was left int the air. I thought Count Duku was a strong villain. I enjoyed the mysterious aspects of this movie.

Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith 2005
Usually in an action movie you have a battle between good guys and bad guys. The good guy defies the odds and wins the battle. Even before going to see this movie, you knew that the bad guys were going to win, at least for now. Everyone expected it to be a darker film. I really like that Emperor Palpatine played such a big roll in it. In the first trilogy, there was very little character development of him. This is my favorite of all the Star Wars movies.
