The 5th installment in the Star Wars trilogy had brought a number of things to this new and bold series. This movie was dubbed the second in the trilogy, making way for the story of Anakin Skywalker's turn to the Dark Side. Throughout this movie, many new technologies and effects were used, allowing for an amazing quality movie. Star Wars had always been revolutionary, but these new effects allowed us to see that the Star Wars universe was very different and very advanced, compared to our own. Dave Filoni, head of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, wrote and helped direct a portion of this film, alongside the legendary George Lucas, who had worked on movies such as Jurassic Park, Red Tails, and THX 1138. These two showed us that just like our planet, this galaxy would go to war, only to end up in the hands of a tyrant(PUTIN).
Attack of the Clones takes place on four major planets, one of them being the infamous Tatooine, where Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Padwan, was raised a slave. This movie is the start of the Clone Wars, hence the name, and is a major turning point in the galaxy. This movie is also set ten years after the previous movie, Phantom Menace, and the time gap is obvious not only with the politics that occur within the movie but character development and ages.T he beloved Obi-Wan Kenobi has aged to become a Jedi master within this time, and has started mentoring Anakin as his master, Qui-gon Jinn, once told him to do.
