The year is 2005. I am waiting for the revenge of the Sith, the Star Wars chapter that completes Anakin Skywalker’s trip. I don’t know that episode VII happens ten years later, so for me, this could be the last Star Wars movie that I will see in theaters. There is a turn, thought; The adaptation of video games links approximately two weeks before episode III reaches theaters, and ruins the entire plot.
What went wrong? Nothing, in reality, since George Lucas did not care that spoilers came out before episode III. The filmmaker thought that the long -awaited theatrical experience had a special value independently, and was wrong. In fact, the excellent official novelization arrived seven weeks before the release of the films, and yet I remember that most casual spectators were surprised by some of the revelations that were not previously destroyed by the events of the original Star Wars trilogy.
But yes, like me, you were looking to obtain the ‘complete’ experience in the cinema, you had to stay away from most linked products, including Lego Star Wars sets that revealed entire pieces. The toy stores were first place to avoid. I didn’t care, so you can bet that I was in the row on May 5 to take my copy of PS2 of Revenge of the Sith, a fascinating Star Wars game that I would sincerely recommend in 2025.
With the revenge of the Sith in theaters to celebrate their twentieth anniversary, we think it would be a good time to look back in this strange and fascinating tie game.
This is where fun
Of course, the main hook of these adaptations of films to the game in the past was to experience the main events of the films, but the adventures on the screen had to paddle a little, so they always had additional characters and sequence of action. For a little player who was already obsessed with Star Wars, he felt great to have two (or more) versions of the same story to enjoy.
While the Phantom threat came out total with several spin-off games and two different linkage adaptations (or that Jedi’s power battles remain my absolute favorite), Attack of the Clones did not get a reconstruction of ‘large’ ” ‘video games. There was an effort of Game Boy Advance, yes, but we would all like to forget that. The revenge of the Sith, on the other hand, received a launch for the large consoles (PS2 and Xbox), as well as quite decent GBA/DS alternatives.
Revenge of the Sith was also a loaded package: in addition to the 17 levels of floors with more than 10 minutes of images of the film and cooperative missions, there was a fashion of multiplayer grieving that is still a favorite of fans. The graphic printing presentation (the characters really looked like the actors for once) also pointed out that very care had entered this family link. Lucasarts is mentioned again and again as an editor, but it was the collective (Indiana Jones and the emperor’s tomb) that delivered a remarkable time linking game for the first conclusion of the Skywalker saga.
Anakin’s Dark Maps Oscos
The most fascinating Revenge of The Sith is how he spoiled the events of the movies, But not really. You could play the whole matter and see the main rhythms of the plot, of course, but the game approach in Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi meant great pieces of the film. More interesting, deaths from characters and other great scenes developed differently, even if the final destination was the same. We were already familiar with this approach after the excellent EA Lord of the Tie-In RingsBut Sith’s revenge was remarkably more strange.
Dooku’s death? Without decapitation. What about Mace Windu? Killed by Anakin after a great game and without the moment of “unlimited power” of Palpatine. Just after, Ordene 66 starts with Anakin (now Darth Vader) Killing Jocasta now (The average Jedi Library lady) in cold blood.

The conversion of the film to the video game, plus the filling and surprises that come with that transformation, led to some quite funny scenes that did not tarnish the possible end. And, of course, he also had many exclusive clones and drid designs that kept the Jedi alert knights. Clone murderers? Of course, why not?
Everything culminates with the duel in Mustafar, which can play as Obi-Wan (Canon) or Anakin. The sequence develops more or less the same regardless of who chooses, but an interesting scenario what to happen Anakin killed Obi-Wan on the volcanic planet… And then prosecuted to kill the emperor also after feeling too miserable? It is a silly and raw ending, but it made me a little sad that was not anywhere with bonus levels, Unlike wild DLCs for unleashed force.
A good addition to the collection of any fanatic
Whether this hidden jewel plays on PS2/Xbox or later through the digital ‘digital’ digital offers of PS3, it can be wired on the chans of a remaster or straight port to modern consoles that occur. At the time of writing, the port “we listened to something about such a project. That said, it is the type of surprise that would not rule out, especially with Aspyr now paying attention to the most past games of Star Wars as Rewards hunter and Jedi Power Battles. What is to give fans another gift for the twentieth anniversary of the film, ey?
Before shouting “Noooo!“In disappointment, there is still a way to obtain your revenge solution from the Sith legally … if you are in Xbox. The original Xbox version compatible with back is available to buy In the digital store. The emulation is not perfect, but backward compatibility saves the day once again. PlayStation users are not so lucky; While other PS2 era classics made the leap to the PS4 store before Aspyr left a remastered uproar, Sith’s revenge was left behind. You will have to hug your serious interior general and find a second -hand copy to add to your collection.
Looking for the intermediate scores of the game in MetaciticHe may think that this is all that the nostalgic games, but Star Wars games or not, mediocre and even deeply failed are as interesting to play as the dear critics.
In the case of Sith’s revenge, perhaps nostalgia, clouding my feelings and strength, but my memories of the underpants and division stories, it is also an action and adventure game. Mechanic above. Demons, has one of the best light saber Combat systems in the history of franchise games. As for Breezy Jedi (and Sith) The fantasies of power van, this is strong with force, and you should see it absolutely.
