In the tardy first appearance of our on-going serial , Screen Rant ’s Ryan George expose what ( credibly ) happened in the pitch confluence forStar Wars : Episode II - Attack of the Clones . The middle entry of George Lucas ' ambitious but ill - fated prequel trilogy , Attack of the Clonesmostly deals with getting Padme and vernal Anakin Skywalker together so that they can finally make smaller Skywalkers .
At this point in the history ofStar Wars , The Phantom Menacehad already dull some of the rampant sports fan ebullience for the prequel trilogy , but many were holding out hope that the franchise would get back on track after a rocky start . Unfortunately , Attack of the Clonesdidn’t swoop in to save the prequel trilogy . alternatively , it is take by many to still be the worst Star Wars picture ever made , and provided the creation with the now - ill-famed conniption in which Anakin score Padme by explaining the various ground he does n’t like Amandine Aurore Lucie Dupin .

Attack of the Clonesalso suffers from perhaps the worst over - reliance on blue screen of the entire prequel trilogy . Director George Lucas was flush with excitement overthe admiration of CGIand , having already tinkered with the original trilogy forthe Special Editions , believe that he could give up most of the trouble of building exercise set by just hanging big blue sheets up behind the actors and satisfy in fantastic landscape afterwards . CGI also allowed Lucas to take Yoda , a character who had to begin with just been a puppet and therefore somewhat limited in motion , and put him in an heroic lightsaber engagement with flipping and twirling . Even the ringer troopers were CGI , despite the fact that they were just veritable buster in armour .
Since the early 2000s , however , we ’ve learned two important things about CGI : that it ’s always improving , and that using it for absolutely everything does n’t necessarily make for a good picture show . flack of the Cloneshas its moments ( some fan authentically bonk theCGI Yodaflipping around in a lightsaber struggle with Count Dooku ) , but it was n’t well - received by fans upon its release and has only get worse - looking with eld . It did finish up scoring an Oscar nomination for its ocular effects , but while it might have won if the Academy free-base its ballot on measure , it ended up losing toThe Lord of the Rings : The Return of the King .
Back in the present day , Star Wars fans recently got their first look atStar state of war : The hike of Skywalker- the ninth and apparently net movie in the saga . Much of the patch is still under wraps , butthe dawdler did havea pretty heroic court toNorth By Northwest … set on a desert satellite covered in coarse , uncut , irritating George Sand . That stuff gets everywhere .
