It sure looks good...just don't use your brain.

I thought that Jedi were supposed to be wise. Let's see, Obi Wan goes to a planet which has been erased from the Jedi Archives to find a cloning factory where some Jedi ordered the creation of an army of clones 10 (ten) years ago. Oddly though, none of the Jedi Council know anything about it. Not even Yoda. The army is cloned from a bounty hunter named Fett. Obi Wan follows Fett to the leaders of the Separatist movement, Count Dooku. Fett is working for Dooku, who tells Obi Wan about the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious. Dooku even tells Obi Wan that Sidious has control of the Senate. Now, Dooku himself is a rogue Jedi. He leads the battle against the Jedi. Master Jedi Mace Windu not only sees Fett with Dooku, but decapitates him. Why is the dark side so mysterious? Because Lucas is playing the Jedi mind trick on the weak minded masses. A clear minded six-year-old could figure it out. My nephew did. So why are Yoda, Master Windu, and Obi Wan so baffled. Because Lucas is using cool special effects for misdirection. Sadly though, Lucas sucks as a Director. Everyone knows the best two Star Wars Episodes (Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi) were directed by someone other than Lucas. It's obvious throughout the whole film.
