Too many unanswered questions for a Star Wars fan

Rating: 7/10 (28 May 2002)

First of all I am a Star Wars fan. I have been hooked since seeing the original in London, UK in 1978. So I was disappointed when I heard that Howard Stern thought that Spiderman was a better movie then Attack of Clones, unfortunately I have to agreed with the big nosed radio wind bag. Spoiler included in review I scan the Attack of Clones: techinal manual before seeing the movie and now after seeing the movie I have too many questions. First, who is the clone army working for: the Separtists, the Republic, or the evil emperor? Why did Lucas remove references to the Blue old republic Army and the emperor's Red body Guard pictured in the tech manual? Is Ben Lars (Luke's uncle) biological related to Ana Skywalker, if not are they still half-brothers? When is Lucas going to show the planet Aldareen (Princess Leia's homeworld)? And finally am I the only who thought Yoda looked better as a wrinkled muppet (Empire Strikes Back) than a digital fighting animation (Attack of Clones)? So overall I thought the film a little better than Episode I, but worse than the original Star Wars trilogly,
