The cunning rise of both the Dark side and the Empire !!!

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2002)

This film is what good Science Fiction really is about. It has a mesmerizing plot, great characters and interesting predicaments. It is filled with nice exotic places to visit, mind boggling action sequences and a very pleasant mood to it all. George Lucas' Episode 2 masterfully succeeds to get the Star Wars series back on the right track, compensates for the mediocre Episode 1 and will entertain even those unfamiliar to this far away Galaxy. The dark pieces, vital to the empire's rise are slowly and Insidiously coming together. There also are so many, SO MANY established or "will be" bad guys, it's no wonder the honourable Jedi knights will sadly be exterminated. The dark times are coming...
