Why Revenge of the Sith is the Rocky IV of Star Wars

Two movies from two iconic and beloved franchises that are far from cinematic masterpieces but have gone on to become fan favorites. Some other similarities between the two: -Equally cheesy and memorable lines (ex. “You underestimate my power!” and “If he dies, he dies.” -Both are among the darkest in their series, with Apollo’s death in R4 and the Jedi Purge in ROTS. -Both revolved around some sort of war, either a literal one like the Clone Wars or the ideological Cold War -Both have an epic final fight that have the older and more experienced combatant overcoming the younger and stronger one.
