The Kernel take
A 68 Metascore on a $113M budget lands solidly in the respectable range, though the $850M worldwide gross suggests audiences were far more forgiving than critics. For a finale to a cultural phenomenon, the critical reception feels like a modest underperformance relative to the box office appetite.
Director track record: George Lucas
Revenge of the Sith (68) trails George Lucas's own 73.4-point average across his other scored films, falling short of his best-reviewed work, American Graffiti (97).
Lead track record: Hayden Christensen
Revenge of the Sith (68) sits well above Hayden Christensen's own 41.4-point average across his other scored films — one of his best-reviewed works to date, though it trails his peak in Shattered Glass (73).
