Chat corner 113: Attack of the Clones

[annathecrow]

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

This week’s topic is the second part of the Prequels trilogy, “Star Wars: The Attack of the Clones”, which came out in 2002. I can’t believe the movie is old enough to drink now!

If you’ve been around when we talked about the movie last year, has anything changed in your thoughts? Any new fic you wrote or read, any new fanart or fanvid you’ve made or seen?

And if you haven’t, what are your thoughts? Yay/nay/meh?

For extra credit, give us a question you would ask other SW fans about the movie, silly or serious. I’m not collecting them for next year I swear

they look at each other and they're like, "Kriff it, these people don't have any moral authority over us any more, let's just get married." When in fact it probably would have been better if they'd both broken with the Order and the Republic and gone public with their objections, but, you know, they're embedded in a sick system and rebelling privately rather than overtly--- it is that sort of thing that happens where people don't actually do what the system tells them to but don't outright oppose it either.

This is definitely the Andor version of this story 🙂 However I completely agree that there are many layers to all this for anyone who wants to explore it (and could do so either via fic or, as Lucasfilm did, through TV).

I can't say there's any single thing I'd want to fix because the story as it's given is already more of an outline than a real story. Clone Wars ran for 7 seasons in between 2 films and could still have told far more. Mostly, I'd just want more between films 1 and 2 which, at the moment, is the least explored part of the film arcs.
