We’re watching the Star Wars movies in order, and last night we watched the second movie.

This is not a review. It’s just my thoughts after re-watching Attack of the Clones for the first time in about 20 years. This isn’t meant to rain on anybody’s love for this movie – it’s an attempt to articulate my own feelings about it. Your mileage may most definitely vary.

I remember watching Attack of the Clones when it was first released in the theater. But unlike with the first movie, I can’t remember anything about it. Essentially, last night was like watching it for the first time.

Compared to the mess that was The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones is a better movie. That bar was set very low, though. The plot was better, but still overly complicated. At least the tone of the movie was consistent this time.

Warning! Spoilers Below (if there can be such a thing as spoilers for a movie released in 2002).
