About this listen

 There is a great disturbance in the Force. From the sleek ships of the glimmering Coruscant skyscape to the lush gardens of pastoral Naboo, dissent is roiling. The Republic is failing, even under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, elected 10 years earlier to save the crumbling government. Separatists threaten war, and the Senate is hopelessly divided, unable to determine whether to raise an army for battle or keep the fragile peace. It is a stalemate that once broken, could lead to galactic chaos.©2002 Lucasfilm LTD. and TM. Adventure Genre Fiction Movie, TV & Video Game Tie-Ins Science Fiction Space Opera

Critic reviews

"Helping to propel the listener forward is the stereophonic sound of a jet engine zooming across the listener's hearing field, establishing effective breaks and transitions in the story." ( AudioFile)

it was an enjoyable book, and I liked the way it expanded on a lot of the scenes in the film especially the relationship between padme and anakin it fleshes it out and makes a lot more sense

good expansion to the movie

The best thing is definitely that we get to hear more about Shmi Skywalker. The next is that Dooku gets more mentions before introduced as a villain at the second half of the story. The story feels a bit poorly knitted together at times, but the experience is quite a lot of fun and opens up the much needed elements that even I as a prequel fan do wish were present in the movies.

More in-depth characters

In a word, AMAZING!! Thoroughly enjoyable, from start to finish. You're listening for an hour, before you even get to where the movie begins, this should give you some idea of the depth of the storyline.

The writing is excellent, and the narration adds to it immeasurably. Drama, excitement, and edge-of-your-seat action, right from the outset........superb stuff!

I'm eagerly anticipating 'Episode III' now, if it's anywhere near as good as this, I'm in for a treat :-D

A great book, and a definite 'must' for your collection.

This book is definitely a step up from the film, the characters motivations are more justified and Jonathan does a surprising job at giving each character a distinct voice with good delivery of the dialogue which may have sounded silly in the film.

If the film was disappointing for you, this should make up for it!

Better than the film!

I think that I wanted too much from this book. One reads, or listens to, a prose adaption of a film to get a deeper understanding of the story, the characters and the world which they inhabit. And one does some of that here, mostly about the thoughts and feelings of Jango and Bobba Fett, and some deleted scenes from the film feature here. But mostly one gets a very well written and excellently performed account of what in the film. Like I said, I think that I wanted too much.

It's still an excellent listen.

Excellently performed, excellently written.
