Star Wars Legends: Novels

by Unknown

Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace Movie Storybook. Released by Lucas Books in 1999. His name was Darth Vader. But before he fell to the dark side, before an entire Galaxy trembled in his shadow, he was known simply as Anakin Skywalker. This is the beginning of his story and the first episode of the epic adventure of Star Wars. At nine years old, Anakin Skywalker is a kind and hardworking boy, living as a slave on the desert planet. Tatooine and dreaming of a better future. One day, a group of outlanders enters his world and changes it forever. Among them is Queen Amidala of Naboo. Fleeing the evil droid armies that have invaded her homeworld, the teenage Queen Amidala has put her life in the hands of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi. The two Jedi must safely spirit Amidala to the Galactic Senate, where she will seek aid for her people. But when the Royal Starship becomes stranded on Tatooine, it is young Anakin Skywalker--recognized by Qui-Gon as being especially strong in the Force--who becomes the Queen's only hope of completing her mission. Meanwhile, as the fate of an entire planet hangs in the balance, a mysterious and sinister presence plots to obtain revenge on the Jedi and regain the power lost to his kind over a thousand years before. Enter Episode I and discover a world of wonders: from the majestic palace of Theed to the perilous Podraces of Tatooine...from the deadly sea monsters of Naboo's dark core to the shimmering spires of Coruscant ... and from the blasting lasers of battling starships to the flashing lightsabers of the bravest Jedi Knights who ever lived. Welcome to a tale you will never forget, a journey that begins: A long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away... Brand New Shop Stock Room Find. Discovered in the store room of a closing down shop.

I gave this book a five star rating because I love star wars and its exsacly what its sopposed to be. My favrite part is when Qui-Gon Jinn fights Darth Maul.

good book

[John · Rating 3 out of 5]

The text isn't exactly compelling, but it's a useful book in that it tells the story and the pictures are nice. If you're a fan of the movie, or perhaps Star Wars in general, it might make a good souvenir. The story incidentally reveals a couple of interesting things -- where C3PO originated and how Obi-Wan Kenobi came to be Annakin Skywalker's teacher. I'd most accurately give it 2.5 stars, but since that's not an option ...

I did find quite a few mistakes in this book, but it was a good read.

I read the book in under 1 hour as there is only 64 pages and most of the space is used up by pictures from the film, so there wasn't all that much to read.

I think a bit was skipped, as Anakin and R2-D2 are in space, they're ship going haywire, and then Padme's suddenly being awarded and Anakin's home safely. This is very confusing.

Anyway, all in all I liked the book

Recommended.

This was probably the first sw book that I've ever read. It tells the most important aspects of the story, Phantom menace, supported by great illustrations. The pictures are mainly from the movie.
The book isn't a pure novelization. If you are interested in a quick read and a combination of text+pictures, this book is great for you. 5/10
