Post-apocalyptic conclusion to the trilogy, where vampires now rule, the nuclear cloud allowing them to move around in the daytime. An interesting take as small groups of humans then start to rebel against their overlords and refuse to be farmed.

When I first heard they were making a gender-flipped version of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," I feared that it could be misogynistic based on the end of the English language remake of the French original. The Frank Oz-directed "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" is a classic comedy with a original twist. This female-centric remake is rarely funny and inoffensive. Anne Hathaway gets to practice three of her Meryl Streep accents. Rebel Wilson plays the uncouth low level con artist piggishly. When the two met on a train to St Tropez where Anne runs elaborate cons on rich tourists, Anne is not threatened but she realizes Rebel could ruin her trade. So she continuously schemes ways to rid herself of the slouch. The whole movie could have ended if Rebel just found a real policeman and unmasked Anne, but that would not make great cinema so we are stuck with this stinker.
  
This isn't a Star Wars comic, this is Star Wars, plain and simple. Vader is still reeling from the disgrace of loosing the Death Star, and very interested in the young rebel responsible. Greatly drawn, well plotted and a hell of a lot of fun to read!
