Episode 2: Attack of the Clones
by Mark Rivers
"Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones" is the best in the series. George Lucas has completely redeemed himself in my eyes for the abomination that was "Episode I" three years ago. The role of Jar-Jar Binks (negro Ahmed Best) is whittled down substantially, which is all I ask of any "Star Wars" film anymore. Negro Samuel L. Jackson plays Mace Windu, a powerful Jedi (who slips into "Jules Winfield" mode at least once), and Jewess Natalie Portman plays Senator Amidala, the love interest. The only other non-Whites with large acting roles are two Polynesians, playing villainous bounty hunter Jengo Fett and his son, Boba Fett.
George Lucas wrote, produced and directed the film (good job, George). Writer Jonathan Hales and producer Rick McCallum are the only other two names given in prominent production involvement. In other words, this movie seems to have less Jew influence in it than most others out there. There is a scene that talks about the "sand people" of the desert planet; they are regarded as nothing more than sub-human animals, and I suppose the Arab comparison could be drawn there (which fits in well with the Jew agenda). The reference, however, is subtle enough to go right over the heads of most of the American audiences.
In "Episode II," more background is given on the formation of the evil Galactic Empire, as well as the roles of the sneaky manipulators pulling the strings. We are also shown the development of Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), and the beginning of his turn toward "the dark side." Finally, we are treated to scene after scene of head-spinning action; light sabres clashing, lasers shooting, massive ships swooping to and fro, and plenty of exciting chases and fights. Also impressive were the performances of Ewan McGregor (as Obi-Wan Kenobi) and the ever-imposing Christopher Lee (Count Dooku).
There was the occasional groanable pun, a contrivance in the dialogue here and there, and some folks might even find a bit of overkill in the computer-generated effects at times. As far as I'm concerned, though, the few faults "Episode II" has are outshone by its positive qualities.
Go see "Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones." Take the kids. See it twice. Buy popcorn. Buy the merchandise. Sleep. Consume. Obey. Okay, don't go that far. Just see this movie. It is one film this summer that you will enjoy.
