Publisher's summary

In barren desert lands and seedy spaceports...in vast underwater cities and in the blackest depths of space...unfolds a tale of good and evil, of myth and magic, of innocence and power. At last the saga that captures the imagination of millions turns back in time to reveal its cloaked origins, the start of a legend, the story of Star Wars. Based on the screenplay by George Lucas, this novel by master storyteller Terry Brooks probes the depths of one of the greatest tales of our time, providing rich detail and insight into the minds and motives of the characters and shedding bold new light on Lucas' brilliant creation.

Featured Article: Qui-Gon Jinn—A Star Wars Character Guide


One of the most wholly unique characters in the Star Wars universe, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn operated on his own moral code and the will of the Living Force, even if they contradicted the decisions of the Jedi High Council. Rejecting strict fidelity to the Jedi Code and the leadership of the Jedi High Council, Qui-Gon was far more interested in viewing the galaxy with open-minded, present-focused empathy than following a set of arbitrary regulations.

Great Novelization!

This is an excellent novelization of The Phantom Menace. Terry Brooks has quite the reputation in the field of science fiction and has done an excellent job of novelizing the movie. I enjoyed the narration very much. Lots of passion in the reading. I appreciate the sound effects and the music. Highly recommended.

The second time around

I don't know why but I liked it a lot better the second time I read it. I guess it was because of some of the voices. it's a good read. I would recommend this book.

Great story but narrator isn't

I love this story but they really should have gotten Johnathan Davis or Mark Thompson to narrate it. It's not bad just not as good as I have become accustomed to

meh

Other than the narrator mispronouncing multiple names, it's exactly what you would expect. Worth it I guess.

great story, terrible reading

I hated the pronunciation of Palpatine and Naberrie. I would get into the story and then hear the mispronunciation and get irritated lol
