The next phase of George Lucas's epic saga, already the most successful film series of all-time, continues with the graphic novel adaptation of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Set ten years after Episode I, Attack of the Clones focuses on an nineteen year-old Anakin Skywalker - who will eventually become Darth Vader and father of Luke and Leia - and his continuing training in the mysteries of the Force by young Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), his growing romance with Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman), and some new enemies - not the least of whom is feared mercenary Jango Fett!

Star Wars Episode II is a brilliant book, providing the first few connections between Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader. It provides the thoughts that you cannot see on screen and gives the reader those extra details that might have been missed. Obi-Wan has a sense of humour and Anakin is growing up from the boy slave to a handsome young man. Yoda shows that he can fight despite his age and is widely respected by former and current Jedis alike. Read this book if you like Star Wars and want more or if you like a good battle between good and evil.
Star Wars fans old and new will enjoy this book, which gives a bit more detail than the film can show. It links Episode I with Episode IV and gives the reader some clues to Darth Siduous' true identity. A challenging but enjoyable read.

Thank you Mr Lucas! After the critical disappointment of Episode I, Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones marks an impressive return to form. The amazing tale, which sees Anakin Skywalker wrestle with his inner demons within a galaxy on the brink of war, is faithfully recreated in this graphic novel. All the key characters, locations and events from the film are instantly recognisable as the artwork is first class. Similarly, the script follows that of the film, with all the favourite quotes waiting bo be found ("I have a bad feeling about this!"). The action flows at a lively pace, and the novel is a nice length. On a negative note, a graphic novel can never do true justice to the film, as the stunning CG sequences obviously lose a great deal in their translation. This, however, is a fault of the genre, not the novel itself, which is a worthy addition to any Episode II collection. Whether you are a fanatical Star Wars follower with a hoard of books, figures and the like, or a relative novice, joining the saga at its latest installment, you won't feel disappointed by this purchase.

You can see it in your mind's eye!

Darkhorse did a most excellent job on this graphic novel. It is practically a story board for the film- you can SEE it in your mind's eye. As for the story itself, I think it is the best since the original Episode 4. There are so many subplots and plot twists that it is impossible to be bored- combined with the what should be a barrage of special effects and exotic sets, it should be overwhelming.
It isn't all special effects, though. There are some powerful dramatic scenes here. I can see where some of them (like the last stand of the Jedi) may go down in cinematic history. There is also IDEALISM here. It is like George Lucas is winning back the soul of his creation after certain politicians and arms merchants coopted the Star Wars name for their own agenda....

Do you want ot read a great series book that was so good that it was made into a movie? Then pick up the book Starwars 2: Attack of the Clones. Every chapter there is something going on, even in the first chapter. It has loads of mysteries and fighting. The Jedis have to find an assassin. Even if you have seen the movie it is still an exciting book to read. if you want a few more details than the movie had, you better definitely read this book. It is not hard to read and is fun to read also. The book is Sci-fi and is very creative. It takes you away to a far away land, in a different galaxy. There are wars, guns, and robots. If you like all of these things, be sure to pick up this book!

Similar to the movie, maybe too much

This comic book nowadays called graphic novels, is quite similar to the movie, maybe too much. While it leaves out key spoiler scenes it does recreate the feel and sequences of the movie quite well. The dialogs are of course adapted to the medium and the drawings are quite simple and straightforward, yet beautiful. One of the flaws of this graphic novel is that it does not add much to the plot or the pciture itself, while it could have been used to tell the unseen part of the movie, it just recreates it the most faithfully and accurately possible. I think it's more a souvenir or collectible than a real comic book. Worth getting if you collect SW stuff.
