Star Wars, Episode II: Attack of the Clones<\/i><\/p>\n
I was quite entertained.<\/p>\n
There were way too many characters to cut back and forth to.<\/p>\n
There is enough frame-by-frame geeky goodness during the last half hour to keep the fan-boys wearing out their DVD players for years.<\/p>\n
George Lucas is straining way too hard to fulfill all the prophecies and hinted backstory from the original trilogy.<\/p>\n
The Jedi leadership is a bunch of ineffectual idiots. I include Mace Windu and Yoda in that sweeping categorization.<\/p>\n
I can’t wait for the next episode.<\/p>\n
More to follow once I sleep on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
