About this product

Product Information

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.   A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, an evil legacy long believed dead is stirring. Even the Jedi are caught by surprise, their attentions focused on the political unrest between the Trade Federation and the Republic. Now the dark side of the Force threatens to overwhelm the light, and only an ancient Jedi prophecy stands between hope and doom for the entire galaxy.  On the desert world of Tatooine, far from the concerns of the Republic, a slave boy works by day and dreams by night--of being a Jedi Knight and one day traveling the stars to worlds he's only heard of in stories . . . of finding a way to win freedom from enslavement for himself and his beloved mother. His only hope lies in his extraordinary instincts and his strange gift for understanding the "rightness" of things, talents that allow him to be one of the best pod racers on the planet.   In another part of the galaxy, the Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice, young Obi-Wan Kenobi, are charged with the protection of Amidala, the young Queen of Naboo, as she seeks to end the siege of her planet by Trade Federation warships. It is this quest that brings Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and the Queen's beautiful young handmaiden to the sand-swept streets of Tatooine and the shop where the slave boy Anakin Skywalker toils and dreams. And it is this unexpected meeting that marks the beginning of the drama that will become legend . . . An incredible audio production complete with original Star Wars music and sound effects.

Reviews
"Fans expecting a typical movie novelization--one that simply parrots the screenplay for Episode I--will be pleasantly surprised. Brooks, with Lucas' cooperation, has created something else altogether; a larger story that includes all of what you've seen onscreen, but also delves deeply into the history of the galaxy and the life and mind of Anakin Skywalker." --The Star Wars Insider "BREATHLESS . . . FILLED WITH ACTION FROM PAGE ONE." --The New York Post From the Paperback edition.

  • The second best novelization I've ever read

    Only "Trials and Tribbleations" has put me into the story in a better style. Second best in a bunch of books that tend to be overblown and often lose me in yards of useless exposition. Terry Brooks does a wonderful job describing the characters and their situations. He creeps into the heads of the characters and helps bring them to life further in the way only an author can. Qui-Gon Jinn is especially vibrant. There are some inconsistancies. The end battles and swordfighting in the book is somewhat different, I think, from the movie's version; it includes many lines of dialogue cut from the movie (not that I'm complaining); Jar Jar seems more competent; and Brooks seems to be very vague on Queen Amidala's clothing. None of these significantly detract from enjoyment of this novel. Read it ...

  • Perfect Gift

    My friend just recently began reading Star Wars novels, primarily novels of the prequels. I decided to find a gift suitable for him, so I began to look online for ideas. I wanted to find a Star Wars book that would be unique, and autographed if possible. Terry Brooks is a well known author and when I found the first book of the Star Wars prequels saga, it was a perfect gift. My friend received the book autographed, very neatly packaged, and with a picture of Terry Brooks signing it. He was thrilled when receiving it for Christmas. As an avid fan of Star Wars myself, I may read this in the future as well. Sincerely, Ray

  • Movie Script

    Normally when you read a book, it brings insight and a point of view normally missed or not covered by the movie. This book was published after the movie and it's literally word for word out of the movie. It's like reading a book version of the movie script! Good: 1) Exactly like the movie Bad: 1) Exactly like the movie 2) No insight not presented in the movie 3) Disappointment compared to Terry Brook's other books. If you want this to complete your Star Wars collection, it's definitely a must have. Just don't expect this book to be any different than the movie. Definitely NOT Terry Brook's best work. I recommend his other series like Shannara series (my favorite!)

  • star wars episode 1

    it was good. written by a lawyer so you know he nailed the political side of it really well. great writer. what i like about the books is the extras that they don't have in the movies. this book has some good extra qui-gon stuff that's pretty good. all in all i have to say that if you are a real star wars fan you are doing yourself wrong by not reading all the books. return of the jedi is pretty good.g

  • Better than the movie!

    It’s a great book and is as advertised!
