"Pretty Good Star Wars Chapter!"

Rating: 6/10 (9 May 2012)

Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen, Natalie Portman, Samuel L. Jackson, Christopher Lee and Ian McDiarmid star in this 2002 sci-fi prequel sequel directed by George Lucas. This episode takes place 10 years later with Obi-Wan Kenobi (McGregor) and his Jedi protégé, Anakin Skywalker (Christensen) protecting Padme (Portman) from assassination led by Darth Sidious aka Chancellor Palpatine (McDiarmid). Obi-Wan discovers that Sidious and his apprentice, Count Dooku (Lee) are secretly making clones of troopers. Anakin and Padme also share a romance and end up marrying each other. We get to see Mace Windu (Jackson) in action with a lightsaber as well as Yoda. This is pretty good and better than the last film. Lee and McDiarmid are terrific as usual and I recommend this.
