Revenge of the Sith is not just the most climactic and sweeping and melodramatic Star Wars film, it’s also perhaps the most tragic entry — and that’s where we come in. We analyze the film by tracing it’s roots through three giants in the field, starting with Lord of the Rings and an avalanche of Gollum / Anakin parallels, moving on to Macbeth and the realization that the Jedi masters are the three witches, and finishing with a Doctor Faustus framing that almost redeems Anakin as a lone Faustus in an endless sea of Mephistopheles.
