Is it so wrong to like "Attack of the Clones?" I really enjoyed watching that whole transition thing. It's pretty cool watching the ship designs evolve, and it's even cooler when you know the "good" ships are going to be "evil." Same goes for the characters. I wish they would have dwelt more in the politics; all I got is: "We're evil, so we need some dude to infiltrate the high ranks and take over the empire" - lame. I wanted to see some backdoor deals, wink, wink.
...politicians like gay sex (in case you didn't understand my joke)
