The reviews are pouring in and the word is...

I've kept myself pure for the opening night of Starwars: I haven't read the screenplay off the internet, watched bootlegged clips or read every single review that's come out.

Variety says: "The Force returns with most of its original power regained in 'Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith.'

Yes, rewind through more than 13 hours of bravery, treachery, new worlds, odd creatures and human frailty." Read entire review
