WHEN WAS THE MOVIE STAR WARS II ATTACK OF THE CLONES MADE SERIES

While Star Wars: The Clone Wars is often credited with improving the canon established by the Prequels, Attack of the Clones' depiction of the Count is actually better than anything the acclaimed animated series did. The aforementioned Dooku is also deserving of praise.

McGregor's Obi-Wan has become one of the most beloved parts of the Prequels, and Attack of the Clones deserves just as much credit for that as the other two films. In fact, Episode II arguably set the standard for that trademark Kenobi sass, which is only amplified by the great chemistry McGregor and Christensen share. Jackson as Mace Windu and, of course, Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The sheer range of emotions he can convey with his eyes alone is palpable - just look at Shmi Skywalker's death scene. In addition, Christensen's non-verbal acting is genuinely great. (George Lucas himself explained that the Prequels are melodramatic on purpose, but there is a limit.) However, almost anyone who says they could deliver the line "I don't like sand" and not have it turn out unintentionally funny is a liar.

Sure, a lot of the dialogue he's made to deliver doesn't really work. On the subject of Anakin, let's talk about Hayden Christensen, because like the film itself, he absolutely does not deserve most of the flak he gets for his performance. But if you've seen the Original Trilogy, you know that doesn't happen, which makes the story all the more tragic. As a viewer watching them get married, you want to believe they're going to get their happily ever after. And the second he marries Padmé, his fate is sealed. The moment his mother dies in his arms and he turns his murderous rage against the Tusken Raiders vowing never to let someone he loves die again, he is setting himself up for his greatest failure.

At its core, Anakin's fall from grace is an incredibly effective story - and Attack of the Clones is its backbone. Anakin wants nothing more than to protect the people he cares about, a desire that blinds him to the fact that he's being manipulated by the would-be tyrant Chancellor Palpatine, which, ultimately, proves to be his undoing. It follows Anakin Skywalker, a boy not only burdened with the responsibility of being the Chosen One, but whose allegiance to the dogmatic Jedi Order forbids him from processing the tremendous amount of fear, anger and sadness he carries with him - not to mention the love he feels for Padmé. It's a cliché at this point, but the Prequel Trilogy really does play out like a Shakespearian tragedy. This is largely due to the fact that the generation that grew up with them now has a real seat at the table, so discourse regarding the franchise is no longer dominated by Original Trilogy purists. Jackson as Jedi Master Mace Windu, and the audience-stunning reveal of Jedi Master Yoda's lightsaber skills.After all, the Prequels as a whole are nowhere near as universally reviled in the Star Wars fandom as they once were. The only things holding this movie together are the appearance of bounty hunters Jango and Boba Fett, Samuel L. While Ewan McGregor returns as Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi for this outing, Anakin Skywalker is now played by the wooden marionette human actor Hayden Christensen, who's at least a little more age appropriate in his advances toward Natalie Portman's Queen Amidala.
