Summer 2005 Review:

        Star Wars Episode Three is based on the story and screenplay by George Lucas. This story entails the fall of Anakin Skywalker to the dark side and his transformation into Darth Vader. It also accounts for the destruction of most of the Jedi. During this book, the Clone Wars end, and an Empire is born. There are many light-saber duels that are detailed magnificently in this book. Also, by reading the book you may receive some insight into what each character was thinking at different parts of the movie. 

        I read the book before watching the movie, and although I enjoyed the great sound effects and settings, I felt that the book was also an important part for my knowledge of Star Wars. In the book, you learn the characters thoughts, and sometimes subplots are intertwined with the whole story. When you read the book, you can go slower and are better able to make matches between all of the different Star Wars books and movies. I think that people who enjoy Star Wars and are under the age of 12 should read this book. For older Star Wars fans, I recommend the other version of the book. The other version has the same title but is longer and may be more difficult for some readers.
