Starring Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker, Natalie Portman as Padme Amidala, Ian McDiarmid as Sheev Palpatine, Sir Christopher Lee as Count Dooku, and Samuel L. Jackson as Mace Windu, Revenge of the Sith has received widespread acclaim for its poignant themes of loss, suffering, and Anakin ultimately falling to the dark side of the force.
