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 green, unspoiled world of Naboo, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, arrive to protect the realm’s young queen as she seeks a diplomatic solution to end the siege of her planet by Trade Federation warships. At the same time, on desert-swept Tatooine, a slave boy named Anakin Skywalker, who possesses a strange ability for understanding the “rightness” of things, toils by day and dreams by night—of becoming a Jedi Knight and finding a way to win freedom for himself and his beloved mother. It will be the unexpected meeting of Jedi, Queen, and a gifted boy that will mark the start of a drama that will become legend. This is the first time I've read a book written 'based on' a movie. Not a bad effort. In some ways better than the movie because the reader is taken inside the point-of-view characters.

Terry Brooks, of course, is an accomplished author and did not hurt his reputation with this novel.

In some ways better than the movie because the reader is taken inside the point-of-view characters. Terry Brooks, of course, is an accomplished author and did not hurt his reputation with this novel. One major shortcoming of both book and movie (and therefore probably Lucas', rather than Brook's, fault) came into clearer focus in the book. No one recognized Padme as Amidala until she reveals herself. Not Anakin, who thinks he loves her and is the most Force-sensitive person ever, and not two trained Jedi. (We assume, of course, all the Nabooians-including Palpatine/Sidious-are in on the scam, though if Palpatine knew, why didn't he warn the Neimoidians, since her now-you-see-her-now-you-don't act contributed to their undoing?) What's the deal? What's the Force good for if it can't discriminate one person from another?

You can feel someone die half a galaxy away but you can't recognize the person standing next to you was not the one hiding behind the white makeup yesterday. And to add insult to injury, Brooks tells us R2-D2 was the first to recognize Padme as Amidala. Not to mention that Jedi Masters can stand right next to Palpatine and not recognize who/what he is. Yeah, yeah, he's blinding them, but they ought to at least see that something's not right. But if we didn't have that, the whole first trilogy would collapse under the weight of it's own paradoxes, wouldn't it? Anyway, not Brooks' fault.

He did a good job with what he was given. And the rest of us-well, some of us-are just left wishing Anakin had turned out good. But then we wouldn't have had the second trilogy, which came first, therefore we had to have it whether the first trilogy worked or not.

Just a reminder, shelves and ratings for Star Wars are purely for the films, which are fantastic fun. Although it isn't going to set yor pants on fire, the novelization of The Phantom Menace is actually quite a good book. One of the reasons why many people disliked the film version of The Phantom Menace is because the film didn't focus on its main character, Anakin Skywalker, who would one day become the future Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader. In the book, however, the story hones in on Anakin, and explores his life as a slave, laying down the narrative foundation for us to understand why Anakin b Although it isn't going to set yor pants on fire, the novelization of The Phantom Menace is actually quite a good book. One of the reasons why many people disliked the film version of The Phantom Menace is because the film didn't focus on its main character, Anakin Skywalker, who would one day become the future Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader.

In the book, however, the story hones in on Anakin, and explores his life as a slave, laying down the narrative foundation for us to understand why Anakin becomes the man he does. Several key scenes which didn't make it into the film such as Anakin's fight with the Rhodian Greedo establishes Anakin's hidden and unpredictable fury. Also, where the film fails to explain how or where Anakin learns to fly, the book explains such matters in detail. I would recommend The Phantom Menace to all Star Wars fans simply becuase it fills in the gaps of narrative information that we don't get in the film, much of which I might add is actually information that George Lucas couldn't squeeze into the film due to its truncated running time and haphazard storytelling.

There is some obscure Sith-lore to be found in this book that will peek the interest of Star Wars fans. Terry Brooks deserves props for taking many of the more pedestrian scenes in the film and giving them meaning in the book. As expected, the final lightsaber duel between Qui-gonn Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Darth Maul is quite thrilling. There are a few books (sci-fi and fantasy) that deal with the timeless tale of a young boy growing up to become a deadly agent of evil. But of them all, The Phantom Menace is in a class by itself in telling the tale of the childhood of the most infamous villian in all of science-fiction.

'The opinions of others whether you agree with them or not are something you have to learn to tolerate' Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, two Jedi knights (well, one is a Master, the other his Padawan, but who's counting?), are surreptitiously sent to Naboo to negotiate a treaty to put an end to the blockade the Trade Federation has on the planet. But negotiations are short when the Neimoidians try to kill them and now the Jedi try to get Queen Amidala, ruler of Naboo, to Coruscant, to spur the Republic into 'The opinions of others whether you agree with them or not are something you have to learn to tolerate' Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, two Jedi knights (well, one is a Master, the other his Padawan, but who's counting?), are surreptitiously sent to Naboo to negotiate a treaty to put an end to the blockade the Trade Federation has on the planet. But negotiations are short when the Neimoidians try to kill them and now the Jedi try to get Queen Amidala, ruler of Naboo, to Coruscant, to spur the Republic into action. NOTE: Based on unabridged audiobook and novel. I Liked: Terry Brooks was given an huge task: put the first Star Wars movie for over 15 years into novel form. The previous authors had pretty much taken the screenplay and frilled it out a bit for novel form.

But Brooks bucks that. He includes three distinct scenes that are never seen in the movie and were never filmed. One is how Anakin destroys his pod in the first unseen race. This is fundamental to showing Anakin's skill and how the Force is with him in the Boonta Race (which he wins). The second is a scene where Anakin shows compassion on a Tusken Raider. That scene is really poignant especially in light of Attack of the Clones. Instead of hearing how compassionate Anakin is, we get to see it.

And the third is a nice summary of the demise of the Sith Order and the rise of the Rule of Two (okay, now we have Jedi Vs. Sith and Path of Destruction, but you have to realize in 1999, we had neither). Besides these two specific scenes, Brooks takes time to slow things down from the hectic editing of the movie and explain the things that don't quite make sense.

Why does Qui-Gon bring the clumsy Jar Jar into Mos Espa? Why does Obi-Wan throw Jar Jar into the droid hold? These are only two of the myriad of minor questions you might have if you just watched The Phantom Menace. I also liked the insight into characters like Obi-Wan Kenobi (who was irritated by his master's constantly bringing along people for no reason), Qui-Gon (who rebelled because he felt the Force), Jar Jar (who really wasn't as stupid as the movie portrayed him), and Anakin (we get to see some of his dreams, which eerily reminds us of Clones). Brooks has a nice writing style, easy to understand, nice to listen to, good pacing, and nice descriptions. I had just finished reading Cloak of Deception, which in my review, I noted that it tended to overdescribe, and I was glad that Brooks didn't do that. Also, Brooks was pretty adept at transcribing the podracing scenes and the action scenes.

I Didn't Like: It's hard, I'll admit, to review a novelization of a movie. It has to stay true to the movie, and yet add something more, else why read the book and not watch the movie? Unfortunately, other than a few unique scenes, there really is very little reason to pick up this novel. Firstly, I still didn't like how Anakin comes off as being a young adult and no where near the 9 that he is in the movie and in the book. I know part of this problem is in fact the movie, but Brooks doesn't help by having Anakin have way too many romantic thoughts about Padme-way more than a typical 9 year old should have. Another thing that REALLY bugged me was how Brooks never bothers to write from Padme's point of view. I know this might have blown the secret, but still, Padme/Amidala is a HUGE part of the movie, the main reason for it, from one point of view, and we can't have a single scene written from her?

This might not sound like a problem until Brooks has to force Anakin and Jar Jar into the Senate Hall (?!) so that they can hear the big speech she gives the Senate. Just put Amidala there! Stop treating her like a one-shot love interest and make her a character!

A problem I had with Obi-Wan, actually with many characters, is how racist they appear. Obi-Wan says he doesn't want Jar Jar to tag along because he was a 'foolish looking creature'. So if Jar Jar was a sexy Twi'Lek it would be okay? Also, I grew embarrassed reading about Panaka's 'dark skin' that was mentioned whenever he was in a scene.

Why is this necessary? Why didn't anyone comment about Obi-Wan's 'white skin'? Also, Padme stereotypes Neimoidians as all being cowards, and I absolutely loathe all-species stereotypes.

The repetition was unnerving. You could make a drinking game out of how often we read about Qui-Gon being 'leonine' or someone being 'chagrined' (that last one made me want to double face palm). By far, the biggest problem with this book is how emotionless it comes across. I know that sounds odd, but although we learn more about characters, I still felt an emotional distance from everyone, as if the novel had merely been transcribed from the script (and in more than one place, it was very nearly). When you read a novelization of a movie, you want to learn more information from it, to grow close to the characters, understand what is going on in their heads, feel their feelings.

I don't feel that Brooks ever tore down that barrier and truly brought me closer to any of the characters. Dialogue/Sexual Situations/Violence: None. Twi'Lek slave girls. A few characters die.

There is a large battle at the end and several smaller skirmishes. Overall: If I had to compare this to the movie, I would definitely say it is better. There is better flow, more clarification, and less wooden acting (and bad scripts). However, it still has its problems: namely never letting Padme speak for herself or letting us emotionally attach to the characters. If you haven't seen the movie, read this book. If you have seen the movie, then I would skip. There's an interesting re-edit of Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace out there, called The Phantom Edit.

It's one person's edit of the original movie, with as much of the moronic Jar-Jar, annoying Anakin, and redundant storyline removed as possible. It's an improvement, though the movie still falls far short of the original trilogy.

Unfortunately, this book goes in the opposite direction. The author expounds on both the Jar-Jar and the Anakin idiocy, often taking it to extremes (for example, There's an interesting re-edit of Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace out there, called The Phantom Edit.

It's an improvement, though the movie still falls far short of the original trilogy. Unfortunately, this book goes in the opposite direction. The author expounds on both the Jar-Jar and the Anakin idiocy, often taking it to extremes (for example, when Anakin first meets Padme in Watto's shop, the conversation in the book ends with Anakin stating that he is going to marry Padme.). The additional plot explanations are welcome, but those mainly manage to expose the absurdity of the storyline to the reader.

This is not how to treat Star Wars. This is Star Wars for 7-year-olds. For excellent examples of how to treat Star Wars in book form, see virtually anything. “In this life you're often born one thing and die another. You don't have to accept that what you're given when you come in is all you'll have when you leave.” With this being said by an old pilot, we witness Anakin's change of life right before our eyes.

From being a slave on a desert planet he becomes a new Padawan-learner at the age of nine. Which is, in terms of the Council, old, but destined to be the Chosen One, the Council accepts him. Therefore, he should be the one to bring balance to “In this life you're often born one thing and die another.

Therefore, he should be the one to bring balance to the Force, however it's being doubted by Yoda. We get to know different planets and witness battles between the dark- and the light side. Jedi fighting against Sith lords. People fighting for power and people who are not ready to hold that much power.

We see the changes Anakin Skywalker goes through, without his mom, leaving his home planet and his old life behind and being prepared for a new one, without knowing the consequences, but doing it anyway, because this is the only thing he ever wanted, he ever dreamed of. To see the galaxy, to become the best starpilot anyone has ever known and most importantly; to free his mother. I just rolled into the Star Wars fandom, like three weeks ago and I absolutely loved the movies. So, therefore I wanted to read the novelizations.

To be honest: I am not disappointed! What am I saying?

This was freaking great! This was extraordinary. Some parts were beyond words and so well written and thought through. We get to know so much more. Crucial things and things that add just that little touch to the story. Things I've missed in the movies were found here. This book has so many point of views, which is great in this situation, because we follow all the important characters and get to know every corner of the story.

From dark to light, wise to unknowing and slave to queen. Terry Brooks did an excellent job on George Lucas' screenplay and I can't wait for the sequels! After seeing the Star Wars movies for the first time last year I decided I wanted to read the books of the prequel series as well and bought the omnibus edition with the three prequel books. I finally got around to reading the first book and it's a great way to revisit the story and experience it in a different way. I think this is the first time I read a book after I've seen the movie.

It was an interesting experience, instead of visualizing the characters myself I saw the actors and landscapes After seeing the Star Wars movies for the first time last year I decided I wanted to read the books of the prequel series as well and bought the omnibus edition with the three prequel books. I finally got around to reading the first book and it's a great way to revisit the story and experience it in a different way. I think this is the first time I read a book after I've seen the movie. It was an interesting experience, instead of visualizing the characters myself I saw the actors and landscapes from the movie and saw everything play out in my mind very vividly.

This book follows the story from the movie pretty closely, but there are some extra scenes and tidbits of insight and information that are missing in the movie. I also though that in book form the story was a bit easier to follow than in movie, but that might be my personal preference for reading stories over watching movies. There are some scenes where we see Darth Sidious set up his plot and communicate with the trade federation about the blockade. We see Annakin participate in a pod race before he meets Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan and I felt like we got a better feel for his life as a slave. There is also a bit more depth in the characters, like why Qui-Gon decides to help Annakin and Jar Jar and what Obi-Wan thinks of that. There are also a few explanations of how the Jedi order and how the Sith came to be that aren't in the movies.

So the book manages to add a few tidbits to make it worth the read. One of the issues I had is with Terry Brooks his writing style.

His writing stylte is telling and descriptive and even a bit distant and dry at times. After a few chapters I did got used to his writing style. The lightsaber fight scenes are a lot better in the movie, Terry Brooks didn't manage to capture the feel of those battles. I did think he did a great job with the podracer scenes capturing the excitement of the races.

I do wonder if this book would be the same if you read it before the movie There are some descriptions and I think the author did a good job with the world and character descriptions, but my knowledge and memories of the movie filled in a lot of details. On the other hand the explanations and the flow of the story was done very well, so I don't think a reader would be lost reading the books first. I enjoyed seeing the familiar characters again and seeing the story play out again.

It's great to revisit the star wars universe in this way and to experience the story in a different way. I really enjoyed seeing the dynamics between all the characters. I liked seeing the different facets of Annakin's personality already here, we see his dreams, his love for flying and podracing, his determination, but there's also a scene showing his temper that I don't remember was in the movie. There are also some clumsy Jar Jar scenes that made me smile that are in the movie as well. I also thought it was interesting to see yoda his reluctance to allow Annakin into the Jedi order and how he didn't agree with the council, I didn't remember that scene as well from the movie.

There is a bit more foreshadowing and hints about Darth Sidious his plans in this book already, while I felt that is given less attention in the movies, we get a few chapters from his point of view and the trade federation so we see their side too.The author captured the essence of the story very well and made it all feel familiar and new at the same time. To summarize: I really enjoyed this book.

The extra tidbits and scenes that aren't in the movie were a real joy and it's fun to experience a familiar story in a different way. I really liked reading this story and thought the plot was easier to follow than in the movie. The light saber scenes are better in the movie though, but I did think the author did the pod racer scenes well. I liked seeing all the familiar characters again and seeing the story unfold, there is some more foreshadowing as in the movies and I felt like the book did add enough to make it worth the read. The author managed to keep the story familiar and add some new aspects, if you want to experience the star wars stories again, but slightly different I would recommend you give the books a try. Let us cover the skill and style of writing in question first, before we come to my quibbles over certain plot elements which were, to be fair, mostly Lucas’ fault and nothing to do with the author of this book who has only faithfully followed Lucas’ vision. Obviously any author who is writing the novelisation of a film is under pressure to produce something that is not just an exact replica word for word of the lines in the script.

It is very obvious that this has been a major consideration of Terry Brooks here, but I’m not entirely sure that’s been a good thing. Almost every line has been altered in some way, even if it’s a very subtle change, or if the words are the same, Brooks places a different tone or spin on them, and it all feels very engineered and very deliberate.

Apart from the slight feel that the alteration of lines just so they won’t be exactly the same as the film is all too engineered, it’s mostly an acceptable piece of work. I don't think the blame for the awfulness of this book rests at all on Mr. Brooks' shoulders. Let's just make that clear up front. The writing itself is not bad, given what he had to work with. The STORY, Characters, and everything else is just Terrible. Reading the novelization, without the distraction of the special effects and flashy action sequences makes it that much clearer.

This is a pretty solid adaptation from Terry Brooks who is most known for his Shannara novels. These sorts of adaptations can be insights as to how the eventual movie gets made.

About as good as its source material, which is not saying much. I found myself bored through most of this. The parts in the movie that don't really further the plot (eg pod race, space battle at the end) are at least pretty to look at on screen; that doesn't translate well to words on a page. And the changes from the film dialogue generally make it more awkward and unbelievable (Anakin's repeated announcement about his future with Padme, for example).

As a novelization, this one is pretty good! Brooks does a nice job of expanding on the characters and situations from the screenplay to create new scenes and deeper, more well-rounded characters. A lot of this book is told from Anakin's perspective and that adds quite a bit to the story. It's nice to see how he's thinking and experiencing the events that will change his life forever.

There's a long sequence in which Anakin travels deep into the Jundland Wastes to trade with the Jawas that really provide some insight into who this boy is and what makes him different.

Likewise, we get better looks into Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. We see that their relationship isn't all smooth and happy - there's some contention and disagreement, which makes it more interesting and provides a nice springboard for Obi-Wan's ultimate promise to Qui-Gon later in the story. Their different beliefs and motivations make this much more interesting. While I'm not a huge fan of the movie, I think Brooks has done a great job crafting a solid novel here. Sure, it has all the major plot foibles of the movie, but he does his best to provide some additional logic and connective tissue so that it flows better and makes a good story.

This is well worth reading for any Star Wars fan - even the most casual. Terry Brooks was born in Illinois in 1944, where he spent a great deal of his childhood and early adulthood dreaming up stories in and around Sinnissippi Park, the very same park that would eventually become the setting for his bestselling Word & Void trilogy.

A writer since high school, he wrote many stories within the genres of science fiction, western, fiction, and non-fiction, until one semester early in his college years he was given The Lord of the Rings to read. That moment changed Terry's life forever, because in Tolkien's great work he found all the elements needed to fully explore his writing combined in one genre.

He then wrote The Sword of Shannara, the seven year grand result retaining sanity while studying at Washington & Lee University and practicing law. It became the first work of fiction ever to appear on the New York Times trade paperback bestseller list, where it remained for over five months.
