Episode II
ATTACK OF THE CLONES
There is unrest in the Galactic
Senate. Several thousand solar
systems* have declared their
intentions to leave the Republic.
This separatist movement,
under the leadership of the
mysterious Count Dooku, has
made it difficult for the limited
number of Jedi Knights to
maintain peace and order in
the galaxy.
Senator Amidala, the former
Queen of Naboo, is returning
to the Galactic Senate to vote
on the critical issue of creating
an ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC
to assist the overwhelmed
Jedi....
A very good crawler. Serious things are about to happen in the Star Wars universe, it presents us with the facts in unambiguous terms. Civil war is about to break out and the Republic is torn on the issue: pursue a policy of appeasement or prepare for a full scale military conflict.
* `Several thousand solar systems'? That should be `star systems', as there is only one Solar System--ours, orbiting the star named Sol. Then again, only rabid astronomers worry about these sorts of things anyway...
