One Major Attack Of The Clones Plot Is Even More Absurd Than You Realized

Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones is often considered the weakest of the three Star Wars prequels, but the plot of the movie is much more complicated than it initially presents. The movie begins with a literal bang as “someone” is attempting to assassinate Senator Padmé Amidala. And while an assassination sounds like a simple task in the Star Wars galaxy, almost everyone involved in the plot to kill Padmé avoids dirtying their own hands. Furthermore, if any of the culprits had actually gone out to do the deed themselves, then Padmé may have actually died long before her premature death in Revenge of the Sith.
