", The shows fit pretty neatly within the "Star Wars" universe. The remaining Jedi are mostly (literal) cannon fodder, which is a little shame (the Clone Wars cartoons and expanded universe have consistently attempted to rectify this), but their fates still hit home, and Samuel L. Jackson's Mace Windu confrontation with Palpatine is pretty superb too, even if it's only a narrative heartbeat away from the subsequent children-slaying sequence that almost single-handedly ruins the whole descent. All contents are provided by non-affiliated third If you really want to get hung up on the scores, Phantom is closer to a 6.5 and Revenge closer to a 7.5, but there is definitely some distinction between the two, with this the best of the prequels by some margin; less divisive than the sequels and maybe even better than the one with the Ewoks, not that many would dare to admit it.

Sure, it still has to contend with some painfully contrived plot choices, but even Lucas' writing can't ruin the sheer emotional weight of some of the decimation on offer as the Jedi Order is wiped out and the Sith Empire rises. Please fill your email to form Still, between McGregor's Obi-Wan, Anakin's full throttle Vader, and basically all of the Force characters unleashed, it affords a hell of a ride. When Luke finds out Vader is his father in "Empire Strikes Back," you pause and go back to the prequel trilogy to watch Anakin Skywalker's rise and fall to the dark side as a flashback.
", "Rebels" takes place after "Revenge of the Sith," but before "A New Hope." From the multiple spots of neon intensity during the space sequence to the superb explosions (a far cry from those in Attack), and that's even before we come to the highlight - the lightsabers - which sear the screen with a hitherto unseen intensity courtesy of HDR implementation that's again, not just a high in this 4K box set, but arguably a high on the format itself. Even the Dolby Vision-blessed 4K variation on Disney+ can't compete with the highlights on offer here.
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith is easily the high point of the prequel trilogy, and up there with the better entries in the entire franchise whole. The score is a step up over Attack, mainly thanks to the returning themes used here - giving a grand scale to the Mustafar clash - but also because it enjoys the darker and more mature tone of the piece, getting fabulously resonant dissemination across the soundscape.
But what's the best way to enjoy them?
A young man is bestowed with incredible martial arts skills and a mystical force known as the Iron Fist.
Ewan McGregor is still the standout of the prequels, cementing his position here with an excellent final turn as Obi-Wan, finally showing us the Jedi Master and Clone Wars General at the height of his capabilities, as he not only takes on the vicious General Grievous (a franchise-great villain utterly wasted here - another unfortunate casualty of the Clone Wars omission - and only really fleshed out in the 2003 Tartakovsky series as well as the more recent Disney show) but then has to face off against his Padawan and brother-in-arms Anakin. Ewan McGregor is still the standout of the prequels.
And that's just the start of it.

The Atmos track is outstanding, and the extras comprehensive. As Obi-Wan pursues a new threat, Anakin acts as a double agent between the Jedi Council and Palpatine and is lured into a sinister plan to rule the galaxy.
The 4K release of Revenge of the Sith is a standout in the entire set. As with Phantom and Attack before it, the Dolby Atmos upgrade here is a high point on the disc; the high-definition 3D object-based immersive audio that Lucas's visionary sci-fi action landscape simply demands, affording an expansive presentation of the epic space battle, and the various superb clashes, booming with a threatening LFE component, and soaring with the intensity of the returning Duel of the Fates theme from Phantom. That takes place after "Return of the Jedi.". The best order to watch every 'Star Wars' movie for the ultimate marathon.
And, if you're a completist, you'll want to add the animated "Star Wars" series and movie into the mix. "Solo," meanwhile, takes place after "Revenge of the Sith," but more than a decade before "A New Hope.". There's still some innate stupidity, mostly thanks to Christensen, but even he's on better form, instead largely hampered by a script (and editing - as Lucas changed his mind about motivations in the editing suite) which saw his fallen Jedi go from doubt, disbelief, and a desperate desire to save his wife that would make him protect the powerful man who says he can save her at all cost, to callously executing Jedi children for no apparent reason, in the space of a few incomprehensible minutes.

Christopher Lee, Neither the Original Trilogy - constrained as they were by budget and the effects of the time - nor the latter, more grounded Sequel Trilogy, was as impressive at world-building, and Revenge was the pinnacle of Lucas's efforts in this respect. By the time of Revenge, however, the technology had finally caught up with Lucas' vision, and the results were much more spectacular, with a fully realised Star Wars landscape absolutely packed to the brim with stunning set pieces across myriad, diverse, alien environments. Europe's busiest forums, with independent news and expert reviews, for TVs, Home Cinema, Hi-Fi, Movies, Gaming, Tech and more. "You were the chosen one. All of this, thanks to the better Digital Technology of the time, translates very well to the 4K format, blowing the mixed bag Phantom 4K rendition and the stronger but still flawed Attack 4K presentation out of the water, and boasting some welcome demo flourishes which are amidst the best - if not the best - in the entire set.
Genre: If you add in the animated series, "Rebels" is the most complicated show to watch in release order as seasons two through four came out in between some of the newer franchise films.
