Another Stellar Chapter of the Saga

Rating: 9/10 (12 June 2002)

If you can overlook the B-movie sound of the title, "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" is another triumph for George Lucas. The excellence of the visual effects is something to behold! It's amazing what can be done with computers nowadays! Special effects like these have become a trademark for Lucas' movies, one we have come to expect. The romance between Anakin and Padme may be something other than what the dyed-in-the-wool sci-fi devotees were looking for in the "Star Wars" saga. But seeing Yoda get in on the light saber fighting was a surprise to many. This story answers questions raised by "Episode I" and the original trilogy. All that remains is for "Episode III" to be created, and so the last piece of the puzzle will be fit in.
