CNN views Episode II

Posted By Scott on May 6, 2002

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper viewed Attack of the Clones. He spoke about it this morning, and you can find the transcript here. Here's a sample:

CAFFERTY: Is anybody talking about what the ceiling on a three-day weekend gross might be? How high is up?

COOPER: I don't think anyone knows. I mean, at this point, you know, the sky is the limit, and no one could have predicted, you know, a "Spider-Man" opening so big. And "Star Wars," you know, it's a franchise which is beloved by millions of people around the world, and I think the sky is the limit.

CAFFERTY: Now, what have they done with Yoda? I read where he is fully computer animated for the first time.

COOPER: Yes. It's pretty remarkable. I was actually kind of wary about this. Yoda before was a puppet operated by a man by the name of Frank Oz. It still [is] using Frank Oz's voice, so you still get the same, you know, Yoda voice.

Hayden Christensen stars as Anakin Skywalker in the latest "Stars Wars" film. But Yoda is fully digitally animated. So you actually see a whole new kind of Yoda. It's a little younger Yoda, and it's a Yoda that is quite a sword fighter. I don't know if we actually have video of that. I don't think they are releasing that stuff yet because that is definitely the highlight of the film. Seeing Yoda without the little mini light saver he has ... is without a doubt the highlight of the film. People are laughing, cheering in the crowd I saw.

CAFFERTY: And Yoda is definitely cool. One of the possible reasons, I suppose, for the success of these "Star Wars" movies, is they have resisted until now that ever-present Hollywood temptation to go for the love story. I understand they have one in this one, right?

COOPER: There is a love story on this, and I think it will be a huge part of the appeal. You know, it's kind of almost like "Titanic." It's -- you know, I think "Star Wars" has traditionally appealed to, you know, young boys. It's got, you know, amazing action sequences. This episode, "Episode II: Attack of the Clones," has action sequences, which, you know, surpass anything any of the other "Star Wars" movies has.

But a love story is key, and the story is key. The characters are really developed in this. And the main part is that we really -- a lot of the loose ends -- you know, George Lucas has always spun a very intricate web with this story. He is really tying up a lot of the loose strands of the web. This story is really the No. 1 thing in this episode.
