In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Star Wars: Attack of the Clones is a product of its era, mostly unconcerned with modern woke criteria. Narrative, tradition, and diversity reflect story needs, not an agenda. It’s about as non-woke as a blockbuster from this millennium gets.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Attack of the Clones rarely swaps narrative for ideology. Characters are fleshed out based on their personalities and roles, not identity checkboxes. The casting choices reflect the world-building rather than a fixation on diversity for diversity’s sake, as is often the case with more modern entries.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like family, duty, and the moral struggle between good and evil are central. Masculinity and femininity are portrayed in a mostly classic manner, with Anakin and Padmé fitting fairly conventional archetypes. There’s no real attempt to undermine cultural or religious traditions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film’s politics are broad-brush and mostly about galactic power struggles, there’s no heavy-handed contemporary messaging. Dissenting perspectives aren’t villainized, conflict is more about political power than ideology, limiting overt modern monoculture vibes.
