Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is a 2005 space opera film written and directed by George Lucas. It was the sixth and final film released in the Star Wars Category: wiktionary - :saga|saga and the third in terms of the series' internal chronology.

The film takes place three years after the onset of the Clone Wars; the noble Jedi Knights are spread out across the galaxy leading a massive clone army in the war against the Separatists. After Chancellor Palpatine is kidnapped, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his former apprentice, now Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, are dispatched to eliminate the evil General Grievous. Meanwhile, Anakin's friendship with the Chancellor arouses suspicion in the Jedi Order and proves dangerous to the Jedi Knight himself. Later it turns out that Palpatine is the sinister Sith Lord Darth Sidious, and has a plan to take over the galaxy and exterminate the Jedi order.

The film was released in theatres on May 19, 2005, and received generally positive reviews from critics, especially in contrast to the previous two prequels. It broke several box office records during its opening week, and went on to earn over $850 million worldwide, making it the second highest grossing film in the Star Wars franchise (not adjusting for inflation). It was the highest grossing film of 2005 in the U.S., the second highest grossing film of 2005 worldwide behind Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It is also the first and only Star Wars film to be rated PG-13.
