Steven Spielberg has revealed his favorite Star Wars movie is one of its most controversial, and one that was directed by series creator George Lucas. Spielberg has been a consistent collaborator with Lucas on the Indiana Jones franchise, directing the first four installments, while the sci-fi series creator served as co-writer. While their constant work together doesn’t extend to the Star Wars movies its creator made over the decades he owned the franchise, their differences are also what gives them fresh perspectives on each other’s work.
Speaking with SlashFilm, Spielberg revealed that one of his favorite Star Wars movie is Lucas’ 2002 prequel, Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. Calling it his “second favorite just behind [The Empire Strikes Back],” Spielberg praised the action, positing its director and co-writer had pulled from James Cameron’s Terminator 2: Judgement Day in gathering inspiration for the movie. This reflects a sentiment he expressed in a 2012 interview with Roger Ebert, where he called it his friends’ “most accomplished” film of his career. Check out Spielberg’s latest statement on Attack of the Clones below:
It was great. The action scenes looked like George [Lucas] had been inspired by James Cameron because they were as good as any of the action scenes in [‘Terminator 2: Judgement Day’], and I think George did his best directing with this one too.
More to come…
