Still keeping the series epic as ever.

Rating: Null/10 (18 May 2002)

After Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings, the Star Wars may have faded and this movie could have shown signs of disappearing and letting The Lord of the Rings become the king of Fantasy movies. George Lucas didn't want that to happen so he decided to make a great movie, and he did it.
Queen Amidala has now become a senator and is the target of a bounty hunter. Amidala receives a Jedi to protect her, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Obi-Wan has an apprentice, Anakin Skywalker who notices Amidala more in a loving way. The two men are then driven apart for Obi-Wan goes to investigate a cloning plan to make a great army.
The story has far more points to it and you really have to watch the movie to enjoy the splendor of it. Ewan McGregor is brilliant and full of action in every part there is good action, special effects are once again brilliant but it's the fully computorised Yoda who steals the show espicially near the end.
Family movies always end up either short and pointless or great and fantastic. This is neither. This is a long movie but easy to sit through because of all the wonderful parts of it. The only problem is the cliched love scenes that are better off in a Pearl Harbor sequel, but with other scenes in the movie so great, who cares who falls in love with who? ****
