![]() ![]() After she discovers that her colleague has fallen to the dark side and joined the Sith, Yaddle tries to convince Dooku to turn himself and Sidious in before it’s too late. It’s also in this episode that we learn of Jedi Master Yaddle’s tragic fate at the hands of Dooku. His rise to the throne of Emperor was a scheme decades in the making. It’s a prime example of the long game Darth Sidious played to bring about the fall of the Republic and the Jedi Order. Interestingly enough, in the episode aptly titled “The Sith Lord,” it’s revealed that Dooku actually deleted the file during the events of The Phantom Menace, about 10 years before Obi-Wan ever set out to look for it. Thanks to the recently-released Tales of the Jedi animated anthology series, we now know it was also Dooku who deleted Kamino from the archives, essentially setting in motion the mystery that would go on to occupy Obi-Wan for much of Attack of the Clones‘ runtime. Who is behind the death of the former and the disappearance of the latter? ![]() Central to them are the death of an unseen Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, as well as the deletion of Kamino’s location from the Jedi Archives. The result is a clumsy film that never quite decides what it wants to be, brought down even more by its shoddy CGI.īut even if we ultimately know by the end of the second act where Obi-Wan Kenobi’s investigation on Kamino and Geonosis is going, there are some interesting mysteries playing out in the background. But Lucas, never quite content with the “more of the same” Hollywood approach to blockbusters, also infused Attack of the Clones with a few other things never before seen in the franchise: a predictable and exposition-heavy detective story as well as an ill-advised romantic subplot that came off as creepy even in 2002. Positioned to be the installment that did away with the much-maligned trade disputes and Senate meetings of The Phantom Menace, this follow-up delivered plenty of Jedi action, evil villains, and even Yoda with a lightsaber. Just a little over 20 years ago, Lucasfilm released Attack of the Clones, the middle chapter of George Lucas’ Prequel Trilogy. This Star Wars article contains spoilers of Tales of the Jedi.
