Attack of the Clones had the difficult task of proving that The Phantom Menace was a fluke and that the prequel trilogy was still a super good idea. If you ask most people, it failed pretty hard at that. The movie brought us Hayden Christensen as an Anakin Skywalker in his late teenage years, transformed from a tiny little pod-racing enthusiast into a creepy guy that stares at women for far too long and whines about everything. George Lucas also put the pedal to the metal in terms of CGI, using some in virtually every single shot. The movie also raises a ton of questions… like why was Anakin assigned to protect Padme when there were so many qualified Jedi just sitting around? What exactly does she even see in him? Why does Yoda walk into a fight with a cane and suddenly bounce around like a pinball?
