Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith is one of the best films in the Saga, than followed by Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. ROTS, is a very dark film and the actions were super-cool. Great work on Padme Amidala's costumes.

WOW!

I would say that it is a very dark episode from all others.... the action is really good in this film... padme's costumes are lovely as all her costumes are. Favourite scene: The main action, which takes place between Anakin Skywalker & Obi-Wan Kenobi. Well done! STAR WARS IS THE BEST!

I am a huge-fan of the Star Wars saga. I would say that Revenge of the Sith is the best film. Good work on the film guys - to ILM as well. Dressing a Galaxy - The Costumes of Star Wars - - Well done! Loved it! Wow!
