Publisher's summary[]
Over 20 years ago, George Lucas brought Star Wars to the big screen and made cinema history. Now Lucas is back in the director’s chair for Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, the first installment of the Star Wars saga, featuring Anakin Skywalker, a boy destined for great (and terrible) deeds, and Queen Amidala, a girl with a will as strong as any Jedi Knight's, plus enough action and adventure to satisfy every Star Wars fan. This Mighty Chronicles edition captures Lucas's newest installment of the legend in all its glory. For those who own this faithful adaptation filled with 150 bold illustrations, the action doesn't have to end when the lights come up.
