Yoda rocks!

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2002)

I was just six years old when the first "Star Wars" came out. Didn't really understand the whole concept of sequels and such and "Episode IV: A New Hope" totally confused me at the time.
Well, I'm older now and can give a whole litany on prequels, sequels and such.
Last night, I went to see "Attack of the Clones" with a group of people from work and in two words, "it rocked."
The excitement in the air was palpable as the lights went down in the theatre. When the Lucasfilm logo appeared on the screen, applause broke out among the packed house.
In true Lucas fashion, we saw a story with seemingly different plot lines emerge to bring all the characters together in the end for a spectacular battle.
The cinematography was awesome, but then again it WAS shot all digitally. The character development was tremendous and gives a perfect entrance to episode three. (It'll be a long two and a half years)
I personally enjoyed Episode I, even with Jar Jar. Of course, he's back in the movie and unwittingly starts a war.
Overall, I give this movie a solid 8.5.
