It advances the stories of its three pivotal characters in meaningful ways. It’s a technical marvel despite some visual overindulgences. Plus it supplied the framework for what was a fantastic television series “The Clone Wars”.

After the disappointment that was Episode I, Lucas brought back the fun infused into the earlier trilogy for this 2002 adventure.

Because of the subpar animation, and also because of the new digital camera's limitations, the entire film exists on flat planes, without depth. Then again, so does the story.

It's not flashy like Phantom or as devastating as Revenge, but if you're willing to look past some of Lucas' putrid dialogue, Attack's the closest Lucas got to fulfilling his desire to make an old Hollywood epic.
