Book description
Possibly the most anticipated Star Wars movie of all time, Star Wars:
Episode III Revenge of the Sith at last tells the tale of how
the young Jedi Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader, the most feared
villain in the galaxy. Our novel includes material not in the movie,
based on discussions with George Lucas himself.
Based on the screenplay of the movie, Star Wars: Episode III
Revenge of the Sith, the novel brings the epic full circle,
revealing at last just how the young Jedi, Anakin Skywalker, became
the most evil villain in the galaxy, Darth Vader, and father to Luke
and Leia. When the novel opens, the Clone Wars are still in full cry,
and numerous Jedi have already been lost. Anakin is struggling with
his dual life: Jedi Knight and husband (in secret) to Padme Amidala.
The time is drawing near for the machiavellian Darth Sidious--the Sith
Lord determined to wrest control of the galaxy from the Republic--to
draw tight the noose he has been creating around Anakin
Skywalker...and create a new Sith Lord with unmatched dark-side Force powers...
