- IMDb: link
It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire.
During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet.
Pursued by the Empire’s sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy….
It begins with a captured princess, a villain in black, a young farmboy with dreams for the stars, a hot-shot pilot and his furry companion, a mysterious old man, and two droids. It ends with a huge space battle, heroic moments, and a ceremony celebrating what our eyes can hardly believe we just witnessed. This is Star Wars.

Attack of the Clones is set up 10 years past The Phantom Menace, Queen Amidala (Natalie Portman) has now become Senator Padme Amidala and Anakin (Hayden Christensen) has grown up and become a love crazed teenager and an apprentice to Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor). Just like The Phantom Menace there is still a lack of organized storyline and things get a bit blurred within the politics and reasoning, but it’s still interesting to look at and keeps the attention going. Finally, we get to see Yoda kick a little ass and R2D2 and C3PO pair up.
Where did Vader come from? The answers start with The Phantom Menace, but the truth doesn’t come out till Episode IV: A New Hope, right along with the poor acting and bad editing. Lucky for us, and Lucas, there is enough interest in seeing more of what was once so wonderful and plenty of eye candy to keep the audience occupied and blind to character flaws and short comings in the plot.
