The Prequel Trilogy: Star Wars

Yes I may of bought it as new and did find a tad bit of damage to on of the corners of the book but it's the same damage you'd see on a book at books a million.

Shipping was as described. Book was in excellent condition. Would do business here again.

All three novelizations included here are written by some of the best science-fiction writers today. These books give more detail, background, and characterization then the films ever could. While the story of the Star Wars prequel trilogy is epic in itself, a lot of people still have problems with the movies: wooden acting, horrible dialogue (ex. Anakin/Padme love scenes. You know what I'm talking about). These scenes come across so much better on paper. My view is to see the films first for all the great action, and then read the novels for some actual depth to the story. Combined with the novelizations of the original trilogy, Star Wars is a series worthy of being seen AND read.

The film novelizations are extremely creative. EVERYTHING from the movies is found in these novels. Mind you, there are minor additions fixed into the stories; other than that, the lines from the books are expressed almost word for word in the films. If you love the movies, than you won't help but love these novels.

These three novelizations of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy are not as good as the films they are based on, I must say. The books are pretty close to the movies storyline, but some of the added scenes in the books weren't all that necessary, there are just a couple errors in a couple spots, and some of the added/altered dialog was just a bit too over the top for my tastes. All in all the three novelizations are just good, but not great, alright in other words. They're good to have in the collection, they are just not great books, thats all. Each book deserves at least a four star rating from me, hence the total four star rating here. P.S. It is a convenient way to get all three of them in a single book like here.

When the Prequel Trilogy came to the movie screens, many old-time fans of the Star Wars saga undoubtedly felt somewhat dissatisfied with certain incomplete plot lines or seemingly unrelated phrases said by the main characters. I have to admit I was one of those fans. After watching the complete trilogy and the Clone Wars animated series, and after reading several Star Wars books, I came to realize that the movies made much greater sense to the fan when their story was augmented by the stories told in the novelized screen plays. A carefully thought over and well-written book will always put the characters in deeper perspective than any 2-hour film that is packed with action and fantastic scenes and effects. I wholeheartedly recommend the book to every fan of the Star Wars movies, and to everybody who watched them and felt somewhat confused by some apparent holes in the plot.
