The opening scene of Revenge of the Sith - which sees Anakin and Obi Wan making their way to Count Dooku's ship amidst an almighty zero-gravity-ruckus - is perhaps the most technically impressive space battle ever committed to film, with the scale and detail of the action unmatched. Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith The movie franchise that virtually invented the space battle had to be in here somewhere but the question was, which of the series' many space battles would make it into our feature? We decided to allow ourselves one from each trilogy, with the prequels' entry coming in here. The best battle scene is the opening, where sinister energy aliens the Drej attack and ultimately destroy planet Earth, though luckily wimpy Matt Damon gets away. The visually spectacular mix of hand-drawn and computer-generated animation is among the best attempted by a Hollywood studio, and in its finest moments resembles a kind of anime version of Star Wars (probably how the movie was pitched). This post-apocalyptic sci-fi failed to find much of an audience when it was released back in 2000, though it's since become somewhat of a cult film.
