In keeping with the name of this blog, RedLetterMedia's 9-part review of Attack of the Clones is up. It's pretty insightful (but not quite as cutting as the Phantom Menace review, which has more to do with storytelling and story structure); this one is more focused on the general incoherence of the movie within the greater Star Wars universe.
The one claim that I didn't find quite as convincing (it happens somewhere in the middle parts, between 4-6) was that Samuel L. Jackson was added to appeal to black audiences. I totally buy the idea that Jackson was added because he was a box-office draw (and it seems like Lucas and co. were truly concerned that they weren't going to make tons of money), but I just don't buy the idea that they were slicing the demographic pie so finely in an attempt to market the movie to every conceivable group. If that were the case, we'd have seen a Hispanic on the Jedi Council, or a Jewish person somewhere in the Galactic Senate.
