James Berardinelli: Review. In: Reelviews. 2005, abgerufen am 17. September 2024 (englisch): „Lucas is a masterful storyteller. That aspect of his creativity is in evidence here as he spins a tale as compelling as any Greek or Shakespearean tragedy: a man who attains power only after sacrificing everything dear to him, including his soul. […] From a purely visual standpoint, no movie to-date can equal Revenge of the Sith. Even the inconsequential background shots are eye-poppingly spectacular. As for the space battles… ‚incredible‘ doesn't begin to do them justice. They astound with their vividness and complexity. […] Only now can we truly step back and admire the full tapestry that it has taken George Lucas and his ILM wizards nearly three decades to weave.“
