This episode continues where "The Phantom Menace" left of 10 years later after the Jedi Knights stopped the Phantom Menace from threatening the planet, Naboo. Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman) is now a Senator representing her home world. A faction of political separatists, led by Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus (Christopher Lee), attempts to assassinate her. There aren't enough Jedi to defend the Republic against the threat, so Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) enlists the aid of Jango Fett (Temuera Morrison), who promises that his army of clones will handle the situation. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) continues to train Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) and then they discover the plans of the Sith Lord and Anakin Skywalker is assigned to protect Senator Padme Amidala but his protection to Padme leads to a romantic relationship between Anakin and Padme. But when Anakin finds his mother dead, he begins slipping away from the light side of the force and perhaps the force itself (but that's another story). I thought Episode 2 was good but still the plot was a little weak but still good like all the other Star Wars movies! But at least one good thing about this episode is that there is less Jar-Jar Banks (voiced by Ahmed Best) than in Episode 1 and as usual R2-D2 (Kenny Baker) and C-3PO (voiced by Anthony Daniels) tag along for the adventure like in the other Star Wars movies. Will the Jedi Knights save the day? Will Anakin Skywalker get close to becoming bad?
TO BE CONTINUED................................... (Into Episode 3)
BOTTOM LINE: GOOD, BUT THE PLOT WAS KIND OF WEAK!
