Why Star Wars Fans Should Be Prequel Positive: Attack of the Clones

Most Star Wars fans like to put the boo in “Naboo” on the film, but like The Phantom Menace (1999) and Revenge of the Sith (2005), Attack of the Clones (2002) is clearly misunderstood.

  1. Mace Windu and Count Dooku: Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson) and Count Dooku (Christopher Lee) clearly stole the film with them being well-written characters for the world of Star Wars.
  2. The Origins of Boba Fett: Film viewers get that Boba Fett is a clone of Jango Fett, who is the template for the Clone Troopers.
  3. Begun The Clone War Has: Helped inspire the iconic Star Wars cartoons Clone Wars (2003-2005) and The Clone Wars (2008-2014) to a great response because the film showed the beginning of the Clone Wars.
  4. A Juxtaposition To The Empire Strikes Back: A member of the Fett family gets some focus, the problem gets worse and a similar quote is used. “Join me, and together we will rule the galaxy as father and son!” “Join me, and together we will destroy the Sith!”
  5. The Speeder Chase: That scene was equally as memorable as the podrace champion ship from The Phantom Menace complete with groundbreaking visual effects and colorful details.
  6. Yoda’s Lightsaber Duel: Even though Yoda is nearly a thousand years old, he has never forgotten his skills as a Jedi Master.
  7. Anakin’s Struggles: Even though Hayden Christensen’s performance is wooden, it was intended to be because Anakin was hiding his feelings about the Jedi and the attack against the Tusken Raiders.
  8. The First Star Wars Film Made In Digital: A technological advancement but it is true. The previous Star Wars films were made of real film while this and Revenge of the Sith were made from digital film.
  9. No Droids For Restaurants: As a clever reference to A New Hope (1977), a chef droid backs off R2-D2. “Hey, you! No droids! Get out of here!”
  10. The Clone Troopers: Even though there are ethical concerns about cloning, the Clone Troopers look like a great alternative to lost soldiers.

In short, Attack of the Clones should not have been attacked by certain fans.
