Jedi knight Hayden Christensen (left) puts some universal moves on Natalie Portman in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. (LucasFilm) As usual, the latest Star Wars kicks off with so much discussion of senates, federations and votes, you wonder if director George Lucas's "Rosebud" was a lost student-council election in high school.

One of the Jedi knights assigned as bodyguard, Obi-Wan Kenobi, dives through the window, latches onto the satellite and wings off on a flight across a neon nightscape of skyscrapers and flying cars. Hope arises, like Tatooine's two suns, that this middle film of the second trilogy will equal 1980's magnificent Empire Strikes Back, the first trilogy's middle installment. As Yoda might say: No cigar, but close it comes.
