I Can't Understand The Title Of This Wonderful Use Of The Force

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2002)

Now that I've seen the second Act of this great series, I can't understand its title, "Attack of the Clones".
The "Attack of Clones" in this Episode starts at the end, even Yoda said 'Begun, has the Clone wars' (Or something similar). And the attack is in fact against the Trade Federation troops, to help the Jedi, and we can see Yoda himself leading this Clone faction. I said "faction" because the Battle Of Geonosis does not include the whole Clone army, but only a part of it. With that said, in Episode II, the Clone army was just created, and only a part of it was on the battlefield for the first time.
I don't know who decided to choose "Attack of the Clones" as the main sub-title of Episode II, but the first one that was official at a time, which was "The Darkness Within", was much more appropriate, and for those who saw Episode II can understand my sayings. Well, I guess that Attack of the Clones just sounds cool...but, it does not, for me.

Besides the sub-title "mistake", Star Wars Episode II is a wonderful use of the Force.
Main characters provides more depth to their roles, dialogues are well done, Jar-Jar Binks becomes serious (Great! Thanks Lucas), Yoda proves what beeing a Jedi Master means, as well as Mr. Lee proves in his role what a good traitor and Sith "apprentice" should be...and another nice touch, we actually see Boba Fett's "father", and not only that, but we see Boba Fett's face! For the first time ever!
Battles are great in this Episode, just like all of the others. The Battle Of Yavin (Episode IV), The Battle Of Hoth (Episode V), The Battle Of Endor (Episode VI), The Battle Of Naboo (Episode I), and now, not only one, but actually 2 great battles featured in Episode II, which are The Geonosis Arena Battle, and the final, best one, The Geonosis Battle.
And I should add the fact that this new Act makes us remember some scenes from the "Old Trilogy". The bar scene on Coruscant, just like the bar scene on Tatooine (Episode IV). And at the end, Darth Tyranus blasting Anakin's body with the Dark Side powers (a.k.a electricity), just like the Emperor blasting Luke's body (Episode VI). Another example, which is the pursuit of Jango Fett by Obi-Wan Kenobi with a Jedi StarFighter ship accross a field of asteroids on Geonosis orbit, in this scene, Jango was able to take the lead on the pursuit against Obi-Wan, and tried to blast him and its StarFighter with his Slave-1 ship turbo lasers...but Obi-Wan was able to "hide" its presence to the Slave-1's radar...guess how? By landing the StarFighter itself on an Asteroid and by shutting down the ship's systems, just like Han Solo did, to hide its presence to an Emperial fleet, by landing on a Star Destroyer in Episode V.
Congratulations Mr. Lucas, you made Episode II my equal favorite with Episode VI. I loved Attack of the Clones, and already can't wait to see Episode III.
Hmmm...now I'm just wondering how Mr. Lucas will do, to connect Episode III...with Episode IV's beginning. Princess Leila should be old enough in Episode III...to be able to steal the Death Star's plans, and evading with a Rebel Ship. Well...Mr. Lucas, you'll find how, I know it. I just can't wait to see it.
Great work LucasFilm staff and eveyone involved in the making process of this Sci-Fi masterpiece.
The Force Strikes Back.
My personal score; 9/10.
