Middle episodes in trilogies have the potential to be fundamentally dissatisfying. Thankfully, George Lucas has managed to avoid that pitfall for Episode II of the Star Wars saga, Attack of the Clones. Admittedly, the primary focus of this film is to advance the overall story, bridging the gap between the lightweight, heroic antics of The Phantom Menace and the overwhelming darkness of the as-yet unnamed Episode III. Attack of the Clones has a starting point and stopping point, but no true beginning or end. And it shares elements in common with Lucas' earlier Star Wards middle film, Empire Strikes Back. |
