everything we love about star wars

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2002)

Attack of the Clones reveals how beautifully complex the star wars saga is. There is a whole level of complexity that the original three movies lack, and this movie delivers completely. It is obvious why Lucas waited to do the first three episodes. The intricate battles and sequences in episode II would have been impossible to do with the limited special effects they had, nor would a new audience be as appreciative of the significance of the actions that happen in episode II. Knowing what will eventually happen attaches so much significance and awe to the actions in Episode II. Lucas delivers but he also leaves plenty of mystery with episode III. We STILL do not know what will happen. This movie reveals the most information out of any movie before it, but at the same time becomes the most personal. We care about the characters because they are people not because they are heroes in a movie. It is the reason the star wars movies are a success because it reaffirms everything we love about the previous four. A gem
