Episode 1: The Phantom Menace
This was well written, though I liked the movie, I was surprised that chapter one had to do with Anakin Skywalker losing a podrace event which is mentioned later on and chapter six he mentions C-3PO and brings him along so that C-3PO can translate Jawa language, but I would advise to read Star Wars Episode 1 prequel, The Cloak Of Deception so that your notice how the Trade Federation had there tanks, battle droids and STAPS made for them. But yet again like the movie two Jedi are sent by the Senate to have negotiations with the Trade Federation while the Neimodians on board had made a deal with the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious! Who in the background wants the Queen of Naboo to make a treaty, which the Trade Federation have made a blockade on the Planet called Naboo. But after boarding the Trade Federation, Qui-Gon-Jinn and Obi-Wan-Kenobi make there way down to the surface of Naboo to rescue the Queen, but to meet a classic character called Jar Jar Binks, who shows them the underwater city called Otha Gunga. But after rescuing the Queen, they have to make a stop due to having their hyperdrive shot and leaking, so they have to stop on the Planet of the Hutt's called Tattoine where Qui-Gon-Jinn finds a young boy called Anakin Skywalker, who is nine years old in this, but a slave to the Toydarian who is called Watto, his only way out of slavery is to win the Podrace event in Mos Espa called the Boonta Eve. That's where Qui-Gon-Jinn studies the boy to be very strong in the Force. But Darth Maul, the apprentice of the Darth Sidious comes along, but mainly the movie has some good parts to it but the book has some deleted parts and some of the sentences are shorter and extended, same with the words from the characters. I had to laugh at the part where Anakin first meets Padme and after asking if she is an angel, he says "I'm going to marry you" but Padme says that he's too young for her but then in a certain part she says to him who future husband would I have then? A fair few words are left out and put into sentences more and some words are put differently, but in the end it's more about how Anakin Skywalker. Hero of the Clone Wars and a fallen Jedi to become a Sith Lord, as we know it but how it all begun as he had to leave everything behind him but what of Darth Maul and Qui-Gon-Jinn? well I'd give the book 5 stars, but the next review will be back to Jedi Quest's books on the Dangerous Games.

a broad introduction to the wider Star Wars universe
Opinion regarding Star Wars Episode 1 "The Phantom Menace" is highly divided. Personally, I enjoyed the cinematic experience of watching the film - although I don't consider it one of the best entries in the saga. I was sufficiently entertained as to order the novelisation of the movie - and, fortunately, it's an enjoyable read. This is a well-written book which provides added depth and detail - both in terms of characters and the broader events they're caught-up in - as compared to the film. If you're a fan of the Star Wars novels then I recommend this item.The story focuses on two key elements. On the one hand, it's about the setting into motion of the final plans of the Sith lord Darth Sidious - who instigates a trade blockade of a remote planet within the Galactic Republic. This blockade constitutes the central reason for the election of Palpatine as Chancellor. On the other hand, the plot concerns the character of young Anakin Skywalker - who demonstrates such Force potential that he's allowed to join the Jedi Order. Anyone who's seen the original Star Wars trilogy knows that Anakin Skywalker becomes Darth Vader, and that Palpatine becomes the Emperor. As such, this is a story of origins ...There's a lot of political intrigue in the plot. Things are going on that aren't directly covered in the storyline. And the events that we do witness are not as they appear. Yes, there's a "menace" - but the real threat isn't the trade blockade but the mastermind who's controlling everything. As such, what the Jedi get involved in is merely a "phantom" - an set of illusory circumstances that, ultimately, will lead to their downfall. This, then, is a complex narrative - and certainly not the standard stuff of sci-fi. Personally, I enjoyed this deeper meaning to the story. But I can understand how it might put some readers off.Overall, this book serves to provide a broad introduction to the wider Star Wars universe. It's rather different than one might imagine, if you're only familiar with the original trilogy of films. If you're willing to embrace this larger reality then I think you'll enjoy this novel.Note: I ordered a hardback edition and received a paperback copy. If you're after hardback then I suggest contacting the seller and ensuring that you'll receive the correct version.
