But even as the Republic falters around them, Anakin and Padmé find a connection so intense that all else begins to fall away.
Unbeknownst to the Jedi, a slow rumble is building into the roar of thousands of soldiers readying for battle. The dark side is growing, clouding the Jedi’s perception of the events.
Masters Yoda and Mace Windu sense enormous unease. The attack on Senator Amidala just before a crucial vote thrusts the Republic even closer to the edge of disaster. To see the beginnings of the dark side in young Anakin Skywalker. When an attempt on Senator Padmé Amidala’s life brings them together for the first time in ten years, it is clear that time also has not dulled Anakin’s intense feelings for the beautiful diplomat. It is easy to hail the imaginative computer images that George Lucas brings to 'Star Wars: Episode II-Attack of the Clones.' To marvel at his strange new aliens and towering cities and sights such as thousands of clones all marching in perfect ranks into a huge spaceship. Time has not dulled Anakin’s ambition, nor has his Jedi training tamed his independent streak. The nineteen-year-old apprentice to Obi-Wan Kenobi is an enigma to the Jedi Council, and a challenge to his Jedi Master. Mischievous and resolved, courageous to the point of recklessness, Anakin Skywalker has come of age in a time of great upheaval. It is a stalemate that once broken, could lead to galactic chaos. Separatists threaten war, and the Senate is hopelessly divided, unable to determine whether to raise an army for battle or keep the fragile peace. The Republic is failing, even under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, elected ten years earlier to save the crumbling government. There is a great disturbance in the Force. From the sleek ships of the glimmering Coruscant skyscape to the lush gardens of pastoral Naboo, dissent is roiling.
