Director J.J. Abrams was asked if there was a specific Star Wars movie he hoped his newfangled entry would call back . And since he ’s plain not bold enough to just up and say , “ This movie will be incisively like Attack of the Clones , because plain , ” here was his rather more mysterious , evenhanded response :
“ Impossible for me to say because it ’s run to be an evolving affair . I would say we are working really hard to make a movie that feels as aroused and authentic and exciting as potential . Whatever your favorite Star Wars movie is and how to compare it is really sort of subjective . ”
Media and rooter have been offering you a ton of unasked advice about to how to approach the picture show . Is there any special affair they ’ve say that you ’ve taken to heart?“It ’s been nice see that how crucial it is and to be reminded how important it is to so many people . We all eff that [ creator George Lucas ’ ] dream has become almost a faith to some people . I think back learn a thing somewhere , someone publish about just want [ the young film ] to experience substantial ; to feel unquestionable . I remember I felt that fashion when I was 11 years old when I saw the first one . As much of a fairy tale as it was , it felt real . And to me , that is just ripe . ”
So , there you have it . I ’m still not entirely sure what that “ it ” is , precisely , but it ’s apparently not an univocal endorsement of all things Attack of the Clones , because the world just is n’t ready for that . Not yet , anyway . [ EW ]

It ’s how a human beings rediscovers his mankind . [ The movie is ] dark , morose , humourous , but also intensely colourful , romantic and emotional . ”
