Episode
II Storyline/Plot
"...
basically, the story goes as follows. We meet Anakin Skywalker when
he's a young boy and we watch him become a Jedi- knight, then a
Jedi-master. Then on the background of the Clone-Wars, he becomes
a great hero, and on that moment pride, ego and selfishness take
over and he chooses to go to the Dark Side..."

Movie
Plot |
The
1977 release of Star Wars launched a celebration of imagination
that has flourished for a quarter of a century - and counting.
Hundreds of millions of people spanning two generations have
embraced George Lucas' epic saga of grand design and boundless
fun. His evolving space fantasy entertains and inspires as it
explores the conflict between
good and evil, technology and humanity. The story of the Skywalker
family celebrates heroism and the limitless potential of the
individual.
The newest chapter
in Lucas' saga, Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones,
is set ten years after the events of Episode I The Phantom
Menace. The Republic continues to be mired in strife and
chaos. A separatist movement encompassing hundreds of planets
and powerful corporate alliances poses new threats to the
galaxy that even the Jedi cannot stem. These moves, long planned
by an as yet unrevealed and powerful force, lead to the beginning
of the Clone Wars - and the beginning of the end of the Republic.
To counter this
looming menace, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, continuing his
consolidation of power, authorizes the creation of a Great
Army of the Republic to assist the overwhelmed Jedi. Against
this troubling setting, our familiar heroes Obi-Wan Kenobi,
Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker are thrown together
for the first time since the conflict between the Trade Federation
and Padmé's home planet, Naboo. Anakin has grown into
the accomplished Jedi apprentice of Obi-Wan, who himself has
transitioned from student to teacher, while Padmé,
the former Queen of Naboo, is now a distinguished Senator.
Anakin and Obi-Wan
are assigned to protect Padmé, who is targeted for
assassination. As Obi-Wan investigates the mystery behind
the threat on Padmé's life, he travels to two disparate
worlds on the galaxy's outer rim. There, he encounters a fearsome
bounty hunter whose role in the mystery extends far beyond
Obi-Wan's initial suspicions. Obi-Wan also crosses paths with
a once-revered, but now disillusioned Jedi Master who leads
the separatist movement.
With Obi-Wan away
on his vital mission, Anakin is left to guard Padmé,
first on Naboo and then on the young Padawan's home planet
of Tatooine, where he makes a fateful discovery. Growing closer,
Anakin and Padmé find themselves torn between duty
and honor and a love that is forbidden. As powerful forces
prepare to collide in epic battle, they and Obi-Wan face choices
that will impact not only their own fates, but the destiny
of the Republic.
