STAR WARS
Episode II:
The Clone Wars
A cloud of darkness looms over the
Galactic republic. Anakin Skywalker
has completed his training as Obi-Wan
Kenobi's Padawan Learner, and has
since risen to the rank of Jedi Knight.
But on the edge of the galaxy, the
mastermind of the failed invasion of
Naboo has struck a deadly bargain with
a proud race of warriors. His only goal:
The destruction of the Jedi Order.
Sensing the rising evil, the Jedi Council
has dispatched a brigade of Knights, led
by General Kenobi and young Skywalker
to the peaceful planet of Alderran, under
a flag of peace for a mission of justice....
After completing years of Jedi training, Anakin, played by Ray Parks and the young Queen, again played by Natalie Portman, are planning to be married. Palpatine, reprising his role as Palpatine, is now the Supreme Chancllor of the galaxy and is continuing his political march to the top.
Obviously, Anakin's crutch or Achilles heel, is his mother. A Jedi can ill afford to have such weekness and fear or turn to the dark side of the Force they will. Obi-Wan tells him to control his fear and prepare himself for what he may find when at Tatooine.
Shmi is killed, all that is left on Tatooine is C3-P0 now nearly complete, and a young boy named Owen. C3-P0 is not the accomplished storyteller we all know him as from later movies, but he adequately shares what his eyes have seen.
it is very artistic, as the death of Shmi is never shown on screen. Apparently, she was killed during a cloning experiment for the newly established Empire, led by Darth Sidious. It was thought the midichlorians were stong in her, and thus would be the strongest in her clones as well.
The true reasons for the battle of Naboo in Episode I, was that they were protecting the technology that would lead us to the Clone Wars. The Mount Tantis original cloning facility was destroyed. The first clone, Darth Maul, was successful and is the force-strong apprentice of the Sith Lord Sidious. And thus begins the journey of Anakin to the dark side. In his anger, he frees the slaves of Tatooine, and fights a battle with desert skiffs against the Hutt clan.
His Rodian friend is killed in the battle, as well as Jira from the fruit stand. Many are saved, but his anger builds as he loses his friends. And still Jabba escapes, and the town of Mos Espa was destroyed. Anakin, who finds our Owen is his his half-brother from Qui-Gon and Shmi, C3-P0 and the rest of their clan head out into space.
Meanwhile, Anakin's friend Kister has been cloned and will become the eventual Boba Fett, flying the appropriately named 'Slave I.'It was also named from the system how ships used to operate those days. Anakin also finds out his slave detonator is located in his right hand.
In another sequence, Anakin's father is revealed, and the midichlorians are explained in greater detail. Millenia ago, people discover this mystical ability to manipulate objects and people. They call it the force and it gets a sort of religious following. Cut to many years later, and scientists are curious to determine why certain people can access this force and others cannot.
They discover midichlorians and devise a blood test so they can begin training people at an early age (screening people via blood test). Suddenly, the Sith reappear (who are unaware of the existence of midichlorians) and begin systematically destroying the Jedi and Jedi potentials.(Great Climatic Saber fights!)
Shortly before this the Jedi council (who mention in the Phantom Menace that the sith have not been seen for millenia) destroy all records of midichlorians and begin disseminating again the fact that the force is a mystical thing. Thus making it more difficult for the sith to carry out their Jedi extinction. This is why in ANH almost no Jedi left and absolutely no mention of 'midichlorians'.....
There is also the introduction of the Sith and the Sith Council. The Jedi council is confused by the return of the Sith and are afraid to mount a full scale attack on the infant rebellion of the Empire.
While definitely controversial, many readers think Darth Sidious and Palpatine are not the same person. This is confirmed when, in the Kvat Drive yards, the secret manufacturing base of the Empire/Trade Federation, they are in a scene together to discuss how Palpatine can get funding for more warcraft. Sidious says he will start a conflict and the Galactic Senate will be forced to approve the funding. Already they are manufacturing Tie Fighters and other new vehicles to combat the now aging Z-95 Headhunters of the Jedi under the instruction of Lieutenant Moff Tarkin, although he is not seen in the film. Obi-Wan and Amidala hit it off well during the intermission between the movies, and the strain is taking it's toll on the relationship of Anakin and Amidala. There is something of a love triangle developing in the storyline. Jealousy runs rampant.
Just before the big climax, Mace Windu and the Royal Guards dressed in blue, murder and betray the Jedi Council, killing them without warning. Few escape alive, and this is the start to what will be called the Clone Wars.
The climax of the film certainly is the Clone Wars. The Clone Wars really all started because the Sidious cloned senators and had the real ones assasinated so Palpatine could achieve the throne faster. Also, there is a completely new computer-generated Jedi in the film, he is an alien that helps greatly in the wars.
Clearly, the failure of the Battle Droid concept sets up the stage for enemies to begin using humans as weapons--cloned humans who can be massed produced to create an incredible fighting force.
Bail Organa fights with Obi Wan during the war against the Mandolorian Supercomandos, and Yoda(He fights) is wounded in this epic battle encompassing all the remaining Jedi, and most of the rest are killed. Amidala, in a fulfillment of Anakin's dream, leads her people in a furocious battle against the cloned warriors, only to have her planet taken and herself taken captive.
She can be seen holding the trinket Anakin gave to her many years ago. Yoda is wounded, and Bail Antilles falls at the hands of the Clone Maul.The movie ends on the safe planet of Corellia, where a young Han Solo is seen tinkering with a swoop bike. Obi-Wan and Anakin, both jealous for Amidala's love, must now join together to save her from the hands of the evil Empire. >>
