A decade after the battle of Naboo,
thousands of star systems have broken
away into a separatist movement, led
by the nefarious Count Dooku.

Fearing attack, the Galactic Senate has
commissioned the creation of a CLONE
ARMY on the remote world of Kamino and
now debates countering the separatists
with military force.

Leading the opposition to war, Senator
Amidala is returning to Coruscant to seek
help from the Jedi Knights, who may be
the last hope for peace in the galaxy....

I like it. Except maybe for the "It is a dark time for the Rebellion" which I think is too similar to "It is a dark time for the Rebellion."

I'm tossing up whether to do 'mood setting' intro, similar to ANH and ESB or an exposition/time setting intro like ROTJ.

But so far, I think this one could work, only without the ESB rip off.
