CNN Talks Episode III Ending Posted By Jeff on May 23, 2002
Many people have emailed us on the new article by CNN on the ending of Episode III.
Next up is "Episode III," a galactic train wreck in the offing. The last film in George Lucas' six-part saga of the Skywalker family inevitably ends in tragedy, the final prequel leading into the dark times of dictatorship that prevail at the opening of the original "Star Wars."
Figure that young Jedi Anakin has completed his transition to the dark side as villain Darth Vader, destroying the Jedi order and paving the way for the evil emperor to dash the democratic Republic. Jedi masters Obi-Wan and Yoda somehow wind up on the road to exile. Since she doesn't turn up in the original trilogy, Padme Amidala, Anakin's beloved, may end up a corpse.
