Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (2002)

"Mmm. Lost a planet, Master Obi-Wan has. How embarrassing. How embarrassing." Master Yoda

I’m so conflicted. Obi-Wan is one of the coolest members of the entire Star Wars universe and his story here is interesting, compelling, and still heart-breaking. Anakin is one of the whiniest and most immature members of the entire Star Wars universe and his story here is boring, predictable, and way too easy to make fun of. Unfortunately, they split the movie quite evenly between the two. When I’m with Obi-Wan, I’m engaged and can’t wait to see what’s going to happen next. Then we cut to Anakin who is being more awkward than a 12-year-old on a first date in his attempts to woo Senator Amidala. Next time I watch this, I know exactly which half to fast-forward.
