The Real Bad Turns that Genetics and Cloning Can Take

The Star Wars Saga continues with Attack of the Clones, a title that spells the forbiding doom that the Phantom Menace prepared to unleash in Episode I. Ten years after the first episode, things are only getting worse for the galaxy that popped out of the mind of writer/director George Lucas. The characters from the first film have developed tremendously, and like I said before, the decisions that they make take dark, and saddening turns. However, the excitement from the first episode is still intact, if not better, than it was before, and the anticipation of the third episode is really the best part of the viewing. A superior sequel if I ever saw one.

Anakin begins to unravel

This, the second of the Star Wars "prequils", moves along much better than "Episode 1: Phantom Menace". In fact, the movie never seems to get boring; especially if you are familiar with the original trilogy and are interested to learn the history of the Republic and how it got to be an Evil Empire.

Young Anakin is truly conflicted, and we get to see how this promising young Jedi apprentice begins to unravel towards the Dark Side. The actor who plays Obiwan does an excellent job, as he did in Epidsode 1, of capturing Alec Guiness's essence and conception of the character. And the events that lead to the Battle of Geonosis are quite interesting, although it took me a couple of viewings to understand it completely.

Evidently, The Republic's Chancellor Palpatine is also the Evil Darth Sideos. The entire Battle between the Separatist Droid Army (led by Count Dooku) and The Republican army of Clones and Jedi Knights (led by Master Yoda) has been secretly orchestrated by Palpatine/Darth Sideos in attempt to consolidate power as Chancellor Palpatine during wartime. He is a master manipulator who has everybody fooled. The goofy and incompetent Jar Jar Binks puts the wammy on it when, as a Congressman, he is fooled into nominated the chancellor for "emergency power".

This movie is packed with excitement throughout. It also contains some interesting messages on war and how war destroys and decieves the spirit. Anakin's meltdown on Tantooie illustrates Yoda's main point: "Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering".

"Attack of the Clones" helps set the historical foundation to the Original Trilogy with excitement, depth of characters, super effects and vivid images.
