Unfortunately, this trimmed version has never been released on any home video format, and LucasFilm has said it never will be either. There’s a list on IMDB of some of the things cut out. I enjoyed this version a lot more than the conventional version. This only happened due to the physical limitations of IMAX film. I had seen it both ways in theatres, and this was far more enjoyable. While there were trims everywhere, a *LOT* of the love scene stuff was cut out. I forget exactly how much was cut out, but I’m pretty sure it was around 20 minutes. Due to that, there were limitations (again, back then, not now) as to how long a film can be. It’s not like IMAX now, back in 2002 they were still bound by the limitations of physical IMAX film, which is RADICALLY larger than conventional film. Back in 2002, I went to see Attack of the Clones in IMAX.

That might be the worst dialogue in the whole movie. The floaty apple bit, the brooding, and ESPECIALLY the bit about sand.

But all the other stuff from this part of the movie was pretty bad. Except for the part where he goes and destroys the entire village after his mom died. But in this movie, unless he’s being the way a Jedi should be, he veers off into annoying. The only times I actually enjoyed him in the role came in Episode III. The problem is Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman have zero chemistry on screen. That’s actually kind of needed to setup why Anakin & Padme end up together – or at least are together for awhile. It feels out of place, and not because it’s a love story in Star Wars. Now I agree with everyone about this stuff. It should have been set up for a much better reception, but people latched onto one thing and wanted to hate it… This one has a lot more action, and virtually no Jar-Jar Binks in it.

This is another movie that fans tend to hate, and this one I understand less than Episode I. I had absolved my wife from watching Episodes I & II, as she really didn’t like them, so I had Episode II on today. I had planned on watching them one per weekend, but there wasn’t enough time to do that, so I had to double up a bit. Last night I watched Star Wars Episode I as the start of my “Watch ’em All” project, and also as the lead-in to the new Star Wars film in a couple of weeks.
