Many people have asked me why I’ve spent so much time on this project. I think it’s because of how frustrating it is to watch this film. I’ve always loved Star Wars for as long as I can remember, and the prequels are a huge part of the story. They’re filled to the brim with great ideas. Talking about them is really fun and interesting, but actually sitting down to watch one of them is just boring and confusing. Attack of the Clones was always my least favorite prequel. As a kid, I loved Revenge of the Sith, and I could tolerate The Phantom Menace because of the podrace scene and the final duel. Attack of the Clones just never had any stand out moments. It was simply the black sheep of the prequels for me. It’s the only Star Wars film to pan up instead of down after the opening crawl. It basically has two “A” plots. Obi-Wan’s story and Anakin’s story are intercut (until they collide at the end), but neither really feels prioritized. It looks very strange because it was the first major film to be shot entirely on digital. It was the first time we see Yoda in CGI (other than a brief shot in The Phantom Menace). So, I felt nervous about tackling this film. However, once I started working on it, I began to appreciate it for what it was trying to be.
