Despite being criticized for its dialogues, Revenge of the Sith is arguably the best movie out of the prequel trilogy that holds a special place among the fans of Star Wars.

Jackson as Mace Windu, Revenge of the Sith has received widespread acclaim for its poignant themes of loss, suffering, and Anakin ultimately falling to the dark side of the force.

Praised for its stylized action sequences, a memorable acting performance by McGregor, striking visual effects, mature themes, and a remarkable score, Revenge of the Sith also had a few small yet poignant details that you probably missed.
