Going to be watching Attack of the Clones tonight. I remember it being worse than the Phantom Menace, but it can’t possibly as racist, right? Right???

So, if the big problem with the last one was the racism, the big problem with this one is the gender politics. We’re 20 minutes in, and Anakin is basically acting like a stalker towards Padme.

“The chancellor seems like a good man.” Anakin would have totally voted for Trump.

FIANCÉE: “At the movie is consistent in showing Vader is a good pilot.” I’ll give it that.

My God, the car chase scene is a shameless ripoff of The Fifth Element and Blade Runner.

And the basic plot setup—who is trying to kill the beautiful society woman—is basically a noir ripoff.

The thing is, this concept *could* be interesting—the movie is about infiltrating the scuzzy underbelly of the galaxy—but the dialogue and acting are so atrocious that it makes “Murder By Death” seem like not a parody.

FIANCÉE: “Do you think Yoda f*cked during this movie and that’s where Baby Yoda comes from?”

God, the Padme-Anakin relationship is soooooo fucked up. PADME: Stop looking at me so creepily, Anakin. ANAKIN: No, I’m going to stare at you more and talk to Obi Wan about how I want to watch you sleep.

Also, seems totally cool and normal for the Jedi to assign a young man with a creepy sexual fixation on a high-level politician to be her bodyguard. What could go wrong?pic.twitter.com/eQpCRiy4bn

This is less offensively bad than Phantom Menace, but considerably more incompetent.

Like, it’s been trying to be a film noir for the first act, but it’s absolutely terrible at it.

Anakin explaining that the Jedi way is basically a Westerner’s stereotype of Buddhism mixed with Catholicism’s celibacy. You’d think there would be a Jedi Reformation movement or something.

FIANCÉE: “I can’t believe Anakin murders all of these children.”

Padme casually dropping that she was as popular as Ronald Reagan. “They tried to amend the constitution for me, no big deal.”

FIANCÉE: “I like how he’s always trying to mansplain things to her. It makes him seem like more of a dick.”

Seems totally normal that the Jedi would trust a clone army they only discovered through a political assassination plot engineered by the guy who created the clone army to fight alongside them in a major war.

ANAKIN: “I want to have sex with you so much it’s literally consuming me with a fire.” PADME: “No.” ANAKIN: “What if I expound on my views about fascism more?” PADME: “Well...”

The tortured genius who rejects the weak-willed tenants of liberal democracy slowly wins the heart of the strong-willed sexy liberal feminist leader through the sheer strength of his will.

Jango Fett seems less like a character out of a spaghetti Western and more like the no. 3 bad guy who gets killed in the second act of a Die Hard sequel.

I suppose to Lucas’s credit, Anakin is supposed to be the bad guy and fascism is supposed to be *bad* in the context of the movie. The fact that Vader is unintentially whiny, pathetic, and annoying just makes the fascism scene less appealing.

But the whole notion that the strong-willed liberal feminist can’t help but be seduced and dominated by the alt-right hero is... not great.

This whole movie is so disjointed. It jumps from half-assed space film noir to half-assed political thriller to half-assed romance with alt-right undertones to half-asses Boba Fett origin story and we’re now on a half-assed version of The Searchers.

Oh, not to mention a half-assed Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru origin story.

*Anakin wipes out a village of Sand People* Ah, THERE’S the racism.

At least in The Mandalorian the Tuskens are portrayed as, y’know, actual *people* with legitimate claims to the land instead of mindless savages.
