Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. I remember this movie revolutionized the human race 3 years ago, and it continues to do so today! Robots are a prevalent aspect of the movie, with the antagonists actually controlling an army of autonomous robots! Even one of the main bad guys, General Grievous, is only part organic, while the rest of his body is largely robotic. The story follows the epic Star Wars saga and tells the story of young Anakin Skywalker, a talented Jedi who is torn between his allegiance to the Jedi and joining to Dark Side to save his wife. Anakin and his master, Obi-Won, destroy countless robots and enemies to get closer to their respective goals. Robots are first seen in the movie when the spaceships that the Jedi team are battling are indeed robots, not being piloted by anything. Upon boarding the spaceship, humanoid robots attack, and are seen much more often in the movie after that. In the society of Star Wars, robots played an enormous role in the storyline. Robots do all sorts of tasks, from providing information, hacking into networks, providing advice, delivering children, destroying planets, and attacking the enemy with blaster rifles. Besides the acting in the movie (which is awarded absolutely no stars), the ridiculously awesome special effects, robotic dominance, and intriguing storyline provide for a good time and fulfilling experience.

Stars Wars Episode 3 is a cinema masterpiece! The entire series of Star Wars movies are rich in action, special effects and well thought out storylines. This episode in particular is very good because you do not need to have seen any of the other movies to understand what is going on. In fact, this is the last and most recent Star Wars movie to be made. Each movie is made to be able to be viewed separately, while still holding a greater meaning when viewed in context to the other movies. The robots presented in this movie are very realistic looking and believable, due to their recent construction. There are many different forms of robots, from R2-D2 and 3-CPO to the identical robotic armies of the Dark side. Each form of robot has its advantages and disadvantages, forming a view of robots being human-like in nature and having social standards of strengths and weaknesses. The robots in this movie are actual characters, making them seem to merely be a different race of human, instead of actually not being human. The robots evoke emotions among humans, which has been a common theme among movies with robots. Humans become attached to the robots, causing them to feel the robots have emotions and feelings, when in reality, machines do not. This movie is a prime example of this, by using robots as main characters. There is practically no fear of robots in this movie, which makes it stand out, in my opinion, among other science fiction movies with robots. Most have, at some point, a fear of robots and technology, however Star Wars does not bring this fear up at all. The movie is a fictional presentation of a world in which robots are normal and interact with humans regularly. This movie is an amazing work that everyone should watch at least once! !!

In my humble opinion, the entire Star Wars series represents one of the best-designed and best-expressed portrayals of robotics in the entire cinematic spectrum. Unlike many other films, Star Wars allows "good" robots and "evil" robots in precisely the same ways that we have come to accept "good" people and "bad" people. The organic "Good" side in Star Wars is the Republic; the organic "Bad" is the Federation. (A shot at Star Trek perhaps? Hopefully not...) Each side has a batallion of robots (droids) to use in battles against each other - but there are also harmless robots on each side, such as C-3P0 and R2D2. Robots in Star Wars, unlike a vast majority of other films featuring robots and new technology, are capable of being just as cute, interactive, and friendly as the human characters. Episode III was perhaps one of the best films in the series due to its creation in the modern era of special effects - but the earlier films in the series are equally enjoyable. A notable feature of Episode III is that, if I am not mistaken, Yoda was created entirely by computer in this film, whereas he used to be a combination of a human actor and special effects in the earlier movies. Like films such as Bicentennial Man, it is possible to become emotionally attached to the robots in Star Wars just as much as with human characters in other movies. George Lucas used his entire series to portray a brave new world (or a brave old world, if "a long time ago..." is to be believed) in which robots are accepted members of society, and can be just as good or evil as the best or most foul of humanity.

P.S. Watch the series in order when you get a chance, starting with episode 4, and watch ep. 3 again at the end. It's worth it. Try to forget what you know.
