Star Wars: Episode II
Attack Of The Clones is set ten years after the events of The
Phantom Menace and the galaxy has undergone significant change, as have Anakin
Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), and Padmé
Amidala (Natalie Portman). Anakin has grown into the accomplished Jedi
apprentice of Obi-Wan, who himself has transitioned from student to teacher,
while Padmé is a distinguished Senator. Anakin and Obi-Wan are assigned to
protect Padmé, whose life is threatened by a faction of political separatists.
As powerful forces prepare to collide in epic battle, Anakin and Padmé find
themselves torn between duty and honor and a love that is forbidden. These
heroes face choices that will impact not only their own fates, but also the
destiny of the galaxy.
