Star Wars: Episode 2 - Attack of the Clones - Trailer

Star Wars, Episode 2 - Attack of the Clones was released in 2002. This was 3 years after Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace.

The movie is set a decade after the events of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Anakin is Obi Wan Kenobi's wayward Padawan and the galaxy is on the brink of civil war.

Below is the Movie Trailer curtesy of YouTube.



This Episode sees the emergence of new galactic villain, Count Dooku, played by Christopher Lee and Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Jango Fett. Fett was played by actor Temuera Morrison.

One of the most notable scenes in the Movie is the first on-screen fight involving Jedi Master Yoda. It really shouldn't have worked, but the CGI effects made his battle with Christopher Lee's Count Dooku an exciting and memorable one.

Attack of the Clones had a budget of $120 Million and went on to gross around $649 Million at the Box Office.

Oh dear, London Designer feels the Might of the Empire



Designer Andrew Ainsworth is currently in a legal fight with Lucasfilm due to replica Storm Trooper costumes he sold over the Internet.

Ainsworth made Storm Trooper helmets for the original Star Wars Movie - A New Hope then later went on to sell unlicensed replicas of these plus replicas of the full white iconic armour.

The original court hearing ended last year at London's High Court. Ainsworth was judged to have violated Lucas's U.S. copyright, but a copyright claim against him was rejected under British law. This was because, it was deemed, the costumes were not works of art.

Lucasfilm have appealed this stating the costumes should be seen as works of art under British Law as they should be classified as sculptures due to the nature in which they are made. Lucasfilm wish to enforce a US$20 million judgment won against Ainsworth in a California court in 2006.

The case is scheduled to last three days. The London Designer may have a bad feeling about this.
