The Galactic Republic is in Chaos, as the Galaxy has been split into two, half ruled by the Galactic Senate, the other half ruled by the CIS (Confederacy of Intependant Systems,) and the two sides are on the brink of war. Thousands of systems are joining the CIS, and leaving the republic. As another attempt on Padme's life is foiled by the jedi team, Obi-Wan and Anakin go on sepparate missions, Obi-Wan chasses a dart which killed Padme's assain and Anakin safegaurds Padme on her home planet of Naboo. Obi-Wan discovers a clone army ordered 10 years before, which was ordered for the republic, and Anakin has Nightmare's about his mother on Naboo, he leaves for his hoe world of Tatooine, there he finds his mother kidnapped by Tusken Raiders. He searches for his mother, and finds her in a tusken camp, and she dies in his arms, he kills every Tusken raider and goes back to his Step-Dads and Step-Brothers moisture farm. Meanwhile Obi-Wan finds out more about the Clones, and discovers the original subject for the cloning, a bounty hunter going by the name of Jango Fett. Obi-Wan and Jango Fett start fighting on a suspended platform. Obi-Wan follows the bounty hunter to Geonosis where he discovers a plan to crush the republic, transmitting this message to Anakin on Tatooine, who forwards it to the jedi council. Padme and Anakin form a plan to rescue Obi-Wan and proceed to Geonosis. Here Anakin and Padme's rescue attempt fails and they join Obi-Wan in the arena to be executed, Anakin and Padme share a kiss with the words "I thought we were not going to fall in love," "well we may as well as we shall not live much longer" (along those lines anyway) In the arena Anakin, Obi-Wan and Padme destroy the Creatures that were to destroy them, and find that Master Mace Windu (Samuel L Jackson) has bought a strike team of 200 jedi to rescue Obi-Wan, ANakin and Padme. Count Dooku unleashes thousands of Battle droids, and leaving only 20 of the original 200 jedi alive. Just in time Master Yoda (Frank Oz) rescues them and storms the arena with the clone army from Kamino. This battle is the start of The Clone Wars. Obi-Wan and Ankin confront Count Dooku in his private Hanger, but both fail, just in a nick of time Master Yoda rescues them and there is a kick ass fight between Yoda and Count Dooku, Master Yoda rescues Anakin and Obi-Wan and Count Dooku escapesz to Coruscant were he meets with his Master, Darth Sidious.

I give this movie a 10 out of 10 and it may well be considered the best Star Wars film ever made.

 

Spiderman

In this film we follow the life of Peter Parker, a high school student. Peter is an ordinary boy, until the school trip to a research center. Here a genetically modified spiderbites Peter, and gives him amazing new powers. He, like many boys of his age (17) loves someone, in Peters case Mary Jane Watson, the girl next door. Peter decides he needs cash and enters a wrestling competion. He uses his new powers to wi, but instead of the 3000 the add says he should get, he gets 100, a robber nicks the remaining money and peter lets him escape

unfortunately this robber hijacks peters uncles car and shoots uncle ben, killing him. Peter decides to use his new found powers for good.

I rate this movie 10/10 and can't wait till the sequel os out in 2004

Clone Trooper - Republic Constructed Trooper
Why fight on the front lines when you can have a clone do it for you? Clone Troopers make up the Republic fighting force for the Clone Wars (and eventually the stormtroopers). Each fully trained clone soldier represents a considerable investment. Injured or isolated men are retrieved whenever possible. A clone trooper's full combat armour is the basis of an integrated system in which the gunships are vital links. Individual troopers can receive command signals and relay status signals via this system. Troops also share tactical video from their helmet visors, with multi-spectral imaging that penetrates smoke, fog, and the airborne soil of the most explosive battle zones. The airtight and thermally regulated body glove is impervious to germ and chemical agents, and provides protection in space and hostile atmospheres. The armor's heat resistance allows troopers to stride through the searing interfaces of theatre shields like lifeless Battle Droids, as well as deflecting glancing blaster shots and damping direct hits enough to improve survival. The full armor worn by vehicle crews restricts movement (uniform suppliers were given no time before the Battle of Genosis to design modifications that reduced covering on limbs and torso).
