4.0 out of 5 stars a decent adaptation, 17 Aug 2004
By Joe Sherry (Minnesota) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
"Attack of the Clones" is the novelization of the film of the same title. This is Episode Two in the Star Wars universe. In writing this novel, R.A. Salvatore had access to the film's screenplay before the movie was ever released (and perhaps even before some scenes had been filmed). This means that scenes in the novel are likely to be identical (down to the dialogue) to what we see on screen. This is the responsibility of the author, to be extremely faithful to the source material. The opportunity that a novel provides the author is giving us additional scenes that were not in the movie, but may help give a broader picture of the story and helps flesh out the characters and their motivations a bit better. "Attack of the Clones" is a stronger adaptation because of this.

After an assassination attempt on her life, Senator Padme Amidala is put into the protection of the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker. Padme is the strongest voice against creating a Republic Army and her death could lead the way to the creation of that army. The attempts on her life continue and Obi-Wan and Anakin now have to split up. Obi-Wan tracks a bounty hunter to a planet that has been removed from the Jedi Archives. Anakin is still assigned as Padme's protector and is to take her to her home planet of Naboo. Anakin still harbors a deep love for Padme that has only grown as the years have gone by.

This is a much better adaptation than Terry Brooks' offering of "The Phantom Menace". Salvatore was able to take the weak dialogue of George Lucas and work it so that on the printed page the dialogue felt smoother and less forced. His additional scenes were absolutely pivotal and added emotional weight to the novel and made Anakin's pain (and love) more real. It did the same for Padme, which was sorely lacking in the film. This was a worthwhile adaptation and even made me interested in taking a look at Salvatore's other work.

-Joe Sherry

4.0 out of 5 stars My Review, 26 April 2003
I found this book to be far more expanded than the film including other pieces of dialogue not used, aswell as 2 chapters before the film begins! The book manages to tie up all of the loose ends left from the film, for example how all of the farmers who went to save Shmi Skywalker got massacred ( and its not pretty ).
The whole book complements the film perfectly, and contains a few hints about the next film.

4.0 out of 5 stars not the best, but good enough, 11 April 2006
By michelle (Bristol, S Glos United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is a decent enough read, faithful to the on-screen action and dialogue, and including all the deleted scenes from the DVD. However, it is a little too faithful to the screenplay for me, and doesn't really live up to the extensive plot and character development in the Matthew Stover novelisation of ROTS. Hence it tends to feel a little too much like 'the film in words', not really venturing beyond the family entertainment genre and leaving me craving just a little more adult bite from it. There are also instances where the writing style is not particularly elegant, contributing to the 'film of the book' feel and preventing it from standing on its own as a good sci-fi/fantasy novel.

One very good thing about this version though is the much-needed emphasis on Padme - her history, political career, why she is such an influential figure, and most of all her reaction and subsequent interaction with a now grown-up Anakin, all things which were never fully explored in the film. Overall, the book did help to dispel the initial disappointment I had when the film was first released and I remain as dedicated a Star Wars fan as ever.

4.0 out of 5 stars Kept interesting by the plot
I have read Brook's novelisation of Episode 1, and it was, in essence, far more poignant and moving than Salvitore's job of Attack of the Clones. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars R. A. Salvatore fills in the gaps the film left open!
R. A. Salvatore brings an even wider version of Attack Of THe Clones to fans of Star Wars than George Lucas epic film. Read more
