For the first time in one stunning volume, here is the complete, epic
story arc: The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the
Sith. Experience the sweeping tale of good and evil, of myth and magic,
of innocence and power-and witness the tragic transformation of Anakin
Skywalker from mere slave to one of the greatest, most powerful, and
feared villains of the galaxy: Darth Vader.
"The path has been placed before you, Anakin.
The choice to take it must be yours alone."
On the barren desert world of Tatooine, young Anakin Skywalker toils by
day and dreams by night . . . of traveling the stars to worlds he's only
heard of in stories. When Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice,
Obi-Wan Kenobi, cross paths with Anakin, it marks the beginning of the
drama that will become legend. Courageous to the point of recklessness,
Anakin comes of age in a time of great upheaval. The attempted
assassination of Senator Padmé Amidala thrusts the Republic close to the
edge of disaster-and brings Anakin and Padmé into a secret romance as
intense as it is forbidden.
As combat escalates across the galaxy, the stage is set for an explosive
endgame. Tormented by unspeakable visions, Anakin edges closer to the
brink of a decision with profound ramifications. It remains only for
Darth Sidious to strike the final staggering blow against the
Republic-and to ordain a fearsome new Sith Lord: Darth Vader.
