"Star Wars:Episode II-Attack of the Clones" * * *1/2

Rating: Null/10 (21 May 2002)

"Star Wars:Episode II-Attack of the Clones" opened last week.Watching the film in a movie theater,I noticed something different about Yoda.Oh,yes.He is not a puppet."Star Wars:Episode II-Attack of the Clones" is the first film in the series where Yoda is recognized through CGI.I myself would have rather seen Yoda displayed in a puppetory form but I realized that with what Yoda would be doing in the film,CGI was probably necessary. "Star Wars:Episode II-Attack of the Clones" is a visually story telling film in which the story is told through it's visual effects.The first three films in the "Star Wars" trilogy were more better because the story telling was told not just in it's effects but within the story itself.Director George Lucas takes an approach to telling the origin of Darth Vader who was once Anakin Skywalker.I have to admit that Episodes I-II are going downhill a bit but at the same time,keeps me entertained and amused.With "Star Wars:Episode III" being ready for principal photography in 2003 for a Summer,2005 release date,it woulds seem possible,hopefully to have the original "Star Wars" premiere on DVD.
