He’s very excited by what he’s read… but then again, he was excited by Episode I’s script too.

Gawd, I want this to be good. Please let this be the George Lucas of Empire Strikes Back!!!!!!

The script literally opens with a bang, and it rarely pauses for breath between there and the final chilling image….
It’s when thinking about stuff like this that the sheer nerve of this experiment strikes me all over again…
To go back and write prequels that can only end on a resolutely depressed and bleak note is not the safe bet people like to accuse him of…
The original trilogy was about redemption and victory, which means that by necessity, this trilogy is about tragedy and failure. …
To see Lucas being true to that gives me great hope that EPISODE III could be the triumph that fans of this mythos have always wanted to see, an almost operatic conclusion to the saga.

YES! At least there’s hope!

And how about that title? Let me say this… having read the script, I can’t imagine another title for the movie. When you see it, you will understand. ATTACK OF THE CLONES, indeed.
