As a movie, TPM works a lot better than Attack of the clones. I am one of the few that thinks 1 and 3 are both decent movies. Nowhere near as good as the original trilogy. But decent. 2 is absolute garbage though. And Dooku would have been an alright villain if they didnt kill him off immediately in 3 and replace him with a coughing robot. Him being Qui-Gon's master was kind of interesting but they never even delved into that.

ETA: The pod race is fricking awesome. Anyone that denies that needs to get over themself.

They suck as a partnof the Star Wars universe. If they were stand alone movies, they aren't too much worse than a lot of movies we see these days

I'm trying to re watch the prequels before the new release. Attack of the clones will be hard to sit through

Yeah, while I still think Episode I is terrible, II is much worse. It may be the single worst love story ever put to screen. Seriously, how the hell did Padme fall in love with this psychopath? He's just a whinny bitch who openly goes on a megalomaniacal rant about butchering women and children. Unless Padme is a depraved sadist, then their relationship makes no sense.

Plus the "droids vs clones" might be the worst idea ever for a war.

Great scene, would have liked it better if they didn't spend so much time on Tatooine. I also think Vader should have been a little older as well.

Are you including the bet portion? And the laughing at the family who lose their dad in the race? Because that was horrible.
