THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO THE ABSOLUTE POWER AT THE HEART OF THE STAR WARS
GALAXY
The Force, in the immortal words of Obi-Wan Kenobi, "surrounds us, it
penetrates us, it binds the galaxy together." The fortunate few who are
able to tap into this extraordinary power have studied and cultivated
the full spectrum of its potential-either embracing its virtuous
qualities or succumbing to its evil temptations. The Jedi seek to bring
peace and enlightenment to the galaxy, while the Sith hunger only for
conquest and control.
This comprehensive one-of-a-kind overview chronicles the known history
of the Force and its wielders down through the ages, from the founding
tenets of Jedi and Sith teachings to the landmark events and legendary
figures who have shaped the struggle between the light and dark sides.
In first-hand accounts by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Luke Skywalker, Leia
Organa Solo, Darth Bane, Darth Vader, Count Dooku, Emperor Palpatine,
and a host of other Jedi Masters, Sith Lords, scholars, and sages, Star
Wars: Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force spans the breadth
