Star Wars Episode III
What's The Story?
This final chapter of the Star Wars prequel trilogy shows Anakin Skywalker's turn to the Dark Side of the Force, the downfall of the Old Republic, and the rise of the Empire.
Three Good Reasons
• We finally get to see exactly why Darth Vader is "more machine than man."
• It marks Chewbacca's triumphant return to the silver screen (though he probably still won't get a medal)
This is the last Star Wars movie we're going to get.
Bet You Didn't Know
Unlike in Episodes I and II, director George Lucas used a dialogue coach on set to make sure his actors were getting as much attention as the special effects.

On November

to a nightmarish crime scene at the Defeo residence in

Defeo confessed to methodically shooting his parents and
four siblings while they slept, claiming "voices" in the
house drove him to commit the grisly murders. One year
later, George and Kathy Lutz and their three children moved
into the house thinking it would be their dream home. But
shortly after settling in, bizarre and unexplainable events
began to occur to the family as George was plagued by

moving in, the Lutzes abandoned the home - lucky to escape
with their lives.
