Product Description
Product Description
For the first time in one stunning volume, here is the complete, epic story arc: The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith. Experience the sweeping tale of good and evil, of myth and magic, of innocence and power–and witness the tragic transformation of Anakin Skywalker from mere slave to one of the greatest, most powerful, and feared villains of the galaxy: Darth Vader.
“The path has been placed before you, Anakin.
The choice to take it must be yours alone.”
On the barren desert world of Tatooine, young Anakin Skywalker toils by day and dreams by night . . . of traveling the stars to worlds he’s only heard of in stories. When Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, cross paths with Anakin, it marks the beginning of the drama that will become legend. Courageous to the point of recklessness, Anakin comes of age in a time of great upheaval. The attempted assassination of Senator Padmé Amidala thrusts the Republic close to the edge of disaster–and brings Anakin and Padmé into a secret romance as intense as it is forbidden.
As combat escalates across the galaxy, the stage is set for an explosive endgame. Tormented by unspeakable visions, Anakin edges closer to the brink of a decision with profound ramifications. It remains only for Darth Sidious to strike the final staggering blow against the Republic–and to ordain a fearsome new Sith Lord: Darth Vader.
THE PHANTOM MENACE
by Terry Brooks, based on the story and screenplay by George Lucas
ATTACK OF THE CLONES
by R. A. Salvatore, from a story by George Lucas and a screenplay by George Lucas and Jonathan Hales
REVENGE OF THE SITH
by Matthew Stover, based on the story and screenplay by George Lucas

The nice way to re-read the novelizations of the Prequel Trilogy
6 Sep 2007
Format:Paperback
When the Prequel Trilogy came to the movie screens, many old-time fans of the Star Wars saga undoubtedly felt somewhat dissatisfied with certain incomplete plot lines or seemingly unrelated phrases said by the main characters. I have to admit I was one of those fans.
After watching the complete trilogy and the Clone Wars animated series, and after reading several Star Wars books, I came to realize that the movies made much greater sense to the fan when their story was augmented by the stories told in the novelized screen plays.
A carefully thought over and well-written book will always put the characters in deeper perspective than any 2-hour film that is packed with action and fantastic scenes and effects.
I wholeheartedly recommend the book to every fan of the Star Wars movies, and to everybody who watched them and felt somewhat confused by some apparent holes in the plot.

Better than the films? Yes!
21 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback
All three novelizations included here are written by some of the best science-fiction writers today. These books give more detail, background, and characterization then the films ever could. While the story of the Star Wars prequel trilogy is epic in itself, a lot of people still have problems with the movies: wooden acting, horrible dialogue (ex. Anakin/Padme love scenes. You know what I'm talking about). These scenes come across so much better on paper. My view is to see the films first for all the great action, and then read the novels for some actual depth to the story.
Combined with the novelizations of the original trilogy, Star Wars is a series worthy of being seen AND read.

Star Wars: The Prequel Trilogy
6 April 2008
Format:Paperback
The film novelizations are extremely creative. EVERYTHING from the movies is found in these novels. Mind you, there are minor additions fixed into the stories; other than that, the lines from the books are expressed almost word for word in the films. If you love the movies, than you won't help but love these novels.
