10 Moments Of Star Wars Foreshadowing You Never Noticed
1. The Clones' Direction Suggests A Dark Future
As seen in everything from Avengers: Endgame's long-awaited assembling of Earth's Mightiest to The Lord of the Ring's many charges into battle, it's pretty much an unwritten law of filmmaking that your heroes must sprint against the enemy from the left of the screen to the right.
And that's precisely what made George Lucas' first unleashing of his titular army on the Separatists in Episode II: Attack of the Clones such an ingenious turn of events. Instead of having his apparent hero infantry, arriving to bail out the Jedi during their climactic skirmish on Geonosis, storm to the rescue using that aforementioned means of travel, the mind behind the galaxy opted to have his Clones wander on in the opposite direction.
Right there and then, fans were given yet another tease of what was undoubtedly set to come as, along with the aforementioned Trade Federation March being used to signal their debut, Lucas' endgame of having the army forged on Kamino play a painful part in The Republic's downfall was already being brought into existence under our very noses via direction of attack.
