#Star wars episode i the phantom menace angle 1 anle 2 ect plus#
The sound effects, plus the voice characteristics add to the story.
What does Alexander Adams bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? It also showed more of how Palpatine manipulated his way to the Chancellorship, and how the Republic was becoming corrupt. The story showed how the Trade Federation came to be under Darth Sidious' influence and why it blockaded Naboo. The plot was intriguing, so you needed to pay attention. I liked seeing Qui Gon and Obi Wan in another story. This story gave some good background to Episode 1, from a different angle than Darth Plageuis did. This book was not as abridged as some others, so it still had good details. The sound effects on the audio add to the story. So, the print versions give you more details, but the audio books allow me to listen in the car, and so get through the story faster. Would you consider the audio edition of Star Wars to be better than the print version?Ī lot of SW audio books are abridged. Yet despite their most valiant efforts, the meeting will explode into fiery chaos beyond everyone's worst fears. It is a time that tests the mettle of all those who strive to hold the Republic together - none more so than the Jedi Knights, who have long been the galaxy's best hope for preserving peace and justice. While the trio will be content with more money and fewer problems, Darth Sidious has grander, far more terrifying plans. But the greatest threat of all remains unknown to everyone except three members of the Trade Federation who have entered into a shadowy alliance with a dark overlord. As humans and aliens gather, conspiracies sealed with large sums of money run rampant, and no one is entirely above suspicion.
With the crisis escalating, Valorum calls for an emergency trade summit. And those who suspect Supreme Chancellor Valorum of having a hand in the machinations are baffled - especially when Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi foil an assassination attempt on the Chancellor. In the outlying systems, where the Trade Federation maintains a stranglehold on shipping routes, tensions are boiling over - while back in the comfort of Coruscant, the hub of civilized space and seat of the Republic government, few senators seem inclined to investigate the problem. Mired in greed and corruption, tangled in bureaucracy, the Galactic Republic is crumbling. From New York Times best-selling author James Luceno comes an all-new Star Wars adventure that reveals the action and intrigue unfolding directly before Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
