I love Star Wars. I really do. But even as a lifelong fan, I have to admit—some movies are better than others. And if I had to pick my least favorite? Attack of the Clones.

It’s not about the idea. The story of Anakin’s slow turn to the dark side had potential. But the execution? That’s where things fall apart. Anakin’s character shift feels rushed, his romance with Padmé is completely unconvincing, and the dialogue… well, let’s just say sand isn’t the only thing that’s coarse and rough in this movie.

Of course, there are great moments too—some amazing action sequences, world-building, and hints of the deeper tragedy unfolding. But every time I rewatch Attack of the Clones, I find myself frustrated by how much better it could have been.

In this episode, I break down why this movie doesn’t work for me, and what I wish they had done differently. But hey, maybe you disagree? Let’s talk about it!
