With a bad taste in our collective mouthes from the prior two piss-poor meals consisting of a lot of pretty colors, killing sand people, and awful acting, we all hoped the payoff would be Episode III. Well, minus the sand people killing, two of the bad ingredients returned, but this time in a much spicier and meatier PG-13 sexcapade, okay, no actual sex, but we got what we were looking for. It was an eclectic mix of Anakin's demise into Darth Vader as well as a dash of darkness and a hint of sadness in the form of Padme's death. The greatest treat was seeing Vader's helmet being put on for the first time in a wonderfully crafted scene.
Ignoring the video game CGI, the movie returns us to the near perfection the original 4th, 5th, and 6th dishes. Perhaps this is the most well-done of the films in the sense that it's the darkest (there's no pink showing), but to say that it is as flavorful as the A New Hope or Empire Stikes Back is wrong. It could be on the same menu as Return of the Jedi though. But with a PG-13 rating it's not on the children's menu anymore.
