"That blast came from the Death Star!"

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2002)

A tear came to my eye as the opening words of Episode 2 began. Ever since the ending credits of Episode had rolled off the screen, I was in zealous anticipation for this second coming of the new trilogy. Was it good for all that wait? By God yes. It certainly was paralleled to the originals, in my opinion being just as good as the best; Empire Strikes Back. The questions this film answers a really welcomed, we are told of where the storm troopers come from, how and why Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker) is consumed by the evil dark side of the force, and the biggest "blast" of all, the origins and concept of the death star - this revelation was marvellous and left me in awe. And one last thing, we have always heard throughout the Star Wars Saga how great Master Jedi Yoda is. I always questioned this thinking, "this little green thing doesn't do much at all." After seeing Attack Of The Clones, you will certainly appreciate why Yoda is called "The Master." Oh, the film was spellbinding, I have to stop writing, or I may start crying...
