Not intense, but still Star Wars

Rating: 5/10 (20 May 2002)

This is the only Star Wars we have. It is one of the 3 movie set that seems dedicated to basically give us a biography of a bad guy and kind of depressing at points. Although he seemed a lot more scary and powerful when there was still a mystery to him in the original series.
Clones has a tremendous amount of talking and courtship that it keeps cutting back to. Ideas of honor, nobility, justice, wisdom, and freedom are all but ignored. Thank the force that we have the Senator who seems Jedi herself and Obi. The saber fight is cool but I liked the final Saber fight in Phantom Menace better and Menace was probably a little better than many say. I don't plan on watching Clones over and over again like with Phantom. There is no Qui Gon here. Of course it is no secret that these prequels show how the Empire came to be and the resistance. One other thing is that space suddenly seems a little claustrophobic but in reality it is a vast expanse in which the Jedi will always fight for the ideals of the force. So far It is not until Luke that these higher purposes are really born.
