If there is one clear, definitive triumph in "Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones" it is likely this: Yoda is one big, bad, green dynamo.

Twentieth Century Fox pre-screened the PG-rated "Attack of the Clones" for Atlanta area critics on Tuesday. The film, which opens Thursday, May 16, in nearly 50 countries simultaneously, is a fairly long flick, clocking in at well over two hours. (Our "official" review will be published that day.)
