Begun, the Clone War has.

I was noodling around for a specific image from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, and I happened upon this fascinating article that is spun around this thesis:

Yet Attack of the Clones is quite sophisticated cinema, being an intricately constructed allegorical and symbolic tale with a powerful moral message: it is only by mastering the evils that lurk within themselves that its heroes ultimately conquer those that threaten them from without.

It always makes me happy to see the wisdom spread. Long live the Prequels!
