Based on the screenplay and story by George Lucas

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 captured 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.© and (P)1999 Lucasfilm LTD. & TM.

If you can get past the presence of Jar jar Binks and the narrator pronouncing Palpatine wrong every...single...time he says it, then you should thoroughly enjoy this title. Fills in some back story that was left on the cutting room floor.

It's pal-puh-TEEN.

Overall not much new here, to be expected. A few nice little insights, elaborations.

Mostly a nice nightime listening, a bedtime story trip to a Galaxy Far, Far Away. Always a good thing!

The only bad thing was that new Chapters/Sections were clipped at the beginning by half a sec or so. May not sound like a big deal but it adds up. An ..dme', ...akin, ...uscant, etc. can wind up being more than a little jarring.

[Specially when these are bedtime stories for me &, upon a *...ratist*, *...an Kenobi* or somesuch, my brain wants to snap back to attention to insert the missing syllable into the ol' databank!]

Mostly more of the same, but some insights

I loved the book. It’s a lot easier to get through than the movie. There are certain things that are even creepier between Anakin and Padmes flirting than in the movie. Anyway worth a listen to any Star Wars fan though

Better than the movie, but....

Like most books that have movies about them this one doesn't fail. It has so much more detail than the movie ever did or will be able to grasp. it will fill in the gasp from so many gray area in the movie. You wont regret getting this book and listening to it.

I loved the novel and was a great read, however the author mis pernunciated many words and names that are critical to the story.

I'm a 13 year old girl that doesn't know anything about Star Wars but wanted to know more about it so I picked up this book. The story was amazing and kept my interest the entire way though. It was a bit slow getting to the main point in the story but the overall book was good. This book gave me a greater understanding of what Star Wars is about and that it's more then just a science fiction novel. I hope my review helped.

Pretty Good
