The CI ac I camas P rìnt A _____ 6 M ay 15, 2002 Clones attack box office with full force AARON PATELZICK Business Manager “The film is terrific...with a U.S. Calvary rescue to the end ing that is going to have Star Wars fans standing on the seats, jumping up and down, cheering and screaming and seeing it as many times as they can.” — Joel Siegel, “Good Morning America” Given the magnitude and ener gy of the latest installment in the Star Wars universe, the Attack of the Clones is sure to be the best film since The Empire Strikes Back. This latest film was amaz ing. Not only did George Lucas make the movie dark, but he was successful at developing the rela tionship of two of the most important characters in the story, Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman) and Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen). These characters, along with Obi-Wan Kenobi (played by Ewan McGregor), are the cornerstones to this galactic adventure that Lucas unfolds before our very eyes. Attack of the Clones takes place ten years after The Phantom Menace (Episode I). This film introduces important details to the story that will not be fully realized until after the com pletion of Episode III. Yet, many of these details tie in directly to A New Hope (The original Star Wars movie-Episode IV). We are presented with more details about the Jedi Order, how the Jedi maintained peace during the reign of the Republic, back ground information about Padme and her family, and information pertaining to the future reign of the Sith, along with the develop ment of the Empire. This movie allows us to see and feel how darkness infiltrates the peaceful Republic and transforms it into the Empire, which the Emperor and Darth Vadar control in Episodes IV, V, and VI. We see many of the same char acters introduced during Episode I, except these characters have grown and developed into more interesting and influential people. Anakin is no longer a small, naive slave boy from the scorched, desert planet of Tatooine, but he has become a young, bold Jedi who desires power. At one point Anakin says, “One day I will be the most pow erful Jedi ever.” This statement explains how he is drawn into darkness and how one day he will become Darth Vadar. Padme has become a beautiful Senator for the planet of Naboo. She has traded her royal robes in for more attractive outfits that define her as a woman instead of as a teenage girl. Even Obi-Wan Kenobi has changed. His person ality is less rigid and he seems more comfortable as a Jedi Master. We learn the origin of Boba Fett and the Clonetroopers. This movie is a multi-faceted gem of epic proportion. Love, passion, obsession, genocide, anger, hatred, action, war, fear and lies, this movie has it all. All who enjoy movies should experience this timely, epic story. Combined with an out standing score by John Williams, this film has all the necessary ingredients to be the best Star Wars adventure yet. I agree with Joel Siegel: “Star Wars fans will be standing on their seats jump ing and screaming,” when it opens nationwide on May 16.
