Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Darth Sidious, the old dude in the cloak who shoots electric bolts out of his fingers, is the Sith Lord. Darth Maul, the dude with the red and black makeup (who didn't get nearly enough screen time after all the hype) is a Sith apprentice who was sent out to destroy the Jedi.

TY!

I beg your pardon. The old guy in the cloak who shoots electric bolts from his fingers is Emperor Palpatine, not Darth Sidious.

As Bresamil noted, they're the same man. Darth Sidious is the Sith name that Palpatine gave to himself when he embraced the dark side....much like Anakin took the name Darth Vader.

See, that's what I always thought but some Star Wars geek on another board told me that wasn't the case.

Wiki says that you are right, and what I thought was correct prior to about an hour ago is, in fact, correct.

Saw it, it was good. I think CBS was correct in his assesment. My observations:

Despite being a turbo hottie Natalie Portman was horrible.

Despite being 2 foot tall, old and green Yoda kicks ass.

Anakin went over to the dark side to easily.

Obi Wan kicks ass.

Kicking a droids ass that has 4 light sabers to your 1 is cool.

The whiney kid who played Anakin didn't suck as bad as he did in the Attack of the Clones, but that is relative and he still sucked.

The best scene in the movie was hearing the first breath when they put the helmet on Darth Vader and heairng James Earl Jones voice.

$3 is too much for a box of gooobers.

Natalie Portman should have had a nude scene

[bresamil]

Obi-wan is totally hot.

Anakin was still a whiner but the actor looked MUCH better this time around, especially when he got out of bed and his more mature muscular body was seen.

R2D2 is the secret star of the whole series.

Yoda is, and always shall be, the coolest little green dude ever.

And oh, I want one of those cool lizards Obi-wan rode on.

Never thought of it that way.

I'm taking my son a week or two from now but would like to get him caught up with previous movies. I'm getting conflicting views on which way to watch, like watch Star Wars I then 4/5/6???? Then go see the movie. This was from someone who was dead serious about it so is there a 4/5/6??? Any suggestions?
