Loading... The Phantom Menaceby Terry Brooks
None. This novel follows the plot of the movie closely, but it includes various extra scenes that I suspect were cut from the film. These scenes explain important points and fill in some of the movie's plot holes. The film would have been less terrible if it had included all the scenes in the book. That said, I don't recommend reading the book, unless you want to understand all the details of what happened in the Episode I timeframe of the Star Wars saga. Even though the film is worse than the book, it's a better choice for most people, since (1) it doesn't take as long to watch the movie as it takes to read the book, and (2) you'll be better able to appreciate cultural references to Episode I if you've seen the visual style, characters, and acting of the movie. This book really answers some of the questions about the beginnings of darth vader. Star wars fans will love it. I highly recommend this book I had forgotten that I had read this. I must have been 12 or 13 or something then but I do remember that, being a fan of Star Wars and actually liking the prequels, I had enjoyed it very much. It was very much alike the movie. I used to own it but then I gave it to one of my nephews who most likely never read it and probably lost it. This book is pretty much exactly what you'd expect, the print version of the movie. As it was written after the screenplay, it deviates very little from the movie plot. Its basically the movie without the pictures, so it does not add a lot new to the story.
The novelization of Episode I: The Phantom Menace was written by Terry Brooks, best known for his Shannara fantasy series. While Brooks, for the most part, follows the script very closely, he also adds several new scenes which cast the story in a different light, making this novelization a very interesting read.

For Star Wars fans who view the prequels as an abomination: I recommend Red Letter Media's scathing NSFW review of Episode 1. Search YouTube for "Harry Plinkett Phantom Menace Review." (
