Star Wars is Back!

Rating: 6/10 (16 May 2002)

I've said a lot of bad stuff about George Lucas since The Phantom Menace was released. I, like a lot of other fans, thought that he was intentionally trying to ruin the Star Wars saga. Well, I still stand by all the negative stuff I've said about Phantom Menace, but Lucas has redeemed himself. Attack of the Clones is awesome. I won't give away anything for the sake of those who haven't seen it, but let me just say this: If you are avoiding this movie because you didn't like The Phantom Menace, go see it! Anakin is far better than he was in the last movie, what little bit there is with Jar Jar is a more restrained Gungan. And the new characters are really cool. Count Dooku is great, and Jango Fett rules! I was really worried about seeing Boba Fett as a young boy, worried that it might be Jake LLoyd all over again, but little Boba is really cool. Restrained, alert, and utterly devoted to his father, we see in his father what he will one day become. Go see this movie! It is worthy to bear the name Star Wars!
