Review
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
It’s been awhile so I completely forgot that Order 66 just kind of happens. The entire “inhibitor chip” was a feature of the show and isn’t explained in the movie (like so many other things). It just seems like all the clones get a message to kill Jedi, who they’ve served with for years, and are like, “ok, cool.” Wild. And don’t get me started on Padme dying of a broken heart. Anakin’s entire reason for turning is painted as a way to save her and he doesn’t even bother trying. He immediately gives up on her when Obi-Wan shows up. Did he actually care about her at all? Debatable.
