With the ongoing release of new episodes of “The Bad Batch,” it seems a good time to go back to the roots of the clones in Star Wars cinema. With that in mind, the WhoDatJedi crew sat down to record a commentary track of “Attack of the Clones,” the much maligned middle chapter of the Star Wars prequel trilogy.
On the 77th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts — Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) — provide a brand new commentary track for “Attack of the Clones.” After nearly 20 years of negative attention, it’s hard not to fall into constant negativity with the film (and your hosts DEFINITELY point out some of the problem areas), but there’s a ton of good stuff here too. Which scenes work the best? How did the other prequels affect this movie? What were some of the clear influences from other films? What kind of impact did this movie have on future Star Wars projects like ‘The Clone Wars’ and ‘The Bad Batch?’ And why might this be the most ambitious of all Star Wars movies? Join in for some answers!
