The grand finally of the Star Wars saga and yet being movie 3 of 6, thanks to George Lucas, couldn’t have been any better. From the modern CGI technology to monumental writing, this film brought together the best of both sides of Lucas’ creativity.
In looking at the cinematic points of view (Pg.126) I feel that almost all of them were used in this movie. Some scenes like when Anikan was flying the half destroyed ship are seen from an objective point of view (Pg. 127) while in others you see what Anikan sees while killing the Federation leaders on Mustifar. In other scenes like when Yoda is about to fight Darth Sidous, you get extreme close up shots (Pg. 136) to feel the depth of what is about to transpire. I could go on and on about the different shots in this film because there is such a vast array of them in this film. Focusing on the principles of visual composition, (Pg. 133) Vertical lines are very evident in the Jedi temple “which suggest strength, authority, and dignity.” (Pg. 133) This makes perfect sense because, according to the movie, these are the types of things that Jedi are defined by.
As I stated earlier, Lucas uses CGI, computer-generated imaging, (pg. 163) throughout this film. With this technology, he was able to make settings that fit exactly where the characters were internally and were the dialogue is. For example near the end of the film, Obi-Wan and his former apprentice, Anikan, are locked in a heated dialogue over Anikan’s betrayal of the Jedi; and will later begin the epic battle that culminates the six Stars Wars movies. Lucas was able to make a dark, ominous, molten planet that fit the over feeling of the film.
