STAR WARS - EPISODE II: ATTACK OF THE CLONES (2002)
Featuring: Ewan McGregor; Natalie Portman; Hayden Christensen
Director: George Lucas
Did I mention last time that if you have never seen any of the Star War movies before, you should start watching by 'Episode' and not according to year of release? As much as every film in the series can be view independently (each with its own individual plot and intrigues) this way, everything just makes that much more sense.
Ten years after being discovered on the far-flung planet Tatooine, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen who replaces Jake Lloyd) has grown into a real headstrong young lad. Apprenticed by Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), he starts showing promising signs of becoming a great Jedi warrior. But he also begins to exhibit his 'darker' side. The question now bares which of these two sides of him will ultimately prevail.
In George Lucas' own words, this is as much a love story as it is the preamble to the inevitable interplanetary war that is brewing. On the one hand there is the budding love affair between the two young protagonists, Anakin and Padmé (Natalie Portman) while on the other hand there are all these political shenanigans taking place. In the end one cannot but wonder what will happen next...
