Forgot to mention it, but Courtney and I have already completed this month's movie as we watched Episode II two Monday's ago.

I look forward to watching this again. One of my favorites, truth be told. I love the audiobook of this movie - yes the unabridged in case you were wondering

I'm actually very much in the mood to read this book myself. I may start with The Approaching Storm by Alan Dean Foster first as it's chronologically before Episode II and I haven't read either yet.

I really just enjoy how much extra you get in this book without losing what is in the movie. I especially love the detailed relationship between Jango and Boba (big surprise, right) because you get a better sense of their father/son dynamic.

I'm really looking forward to reading the book as I know they always have so much more detail than the films. If it's half as good of a read as Revenge of the Sith was, I'll be thrilled.

I was disappointed by the book for Phantom Menace, but I totally agree with the quality of Episode II's novel. Before the Revenge of the Sith book, I was hoping it would be as good as the Clones book. Fortunately, both of them, and their corresponding unabridged audiobooks are excellent.
The Approaching Storm is also very enjoyable. I think it may be even more interesting now that we've seen so much more Barriss Offee and Luminara Unduli. Heck, even now that we've seen so much more Anakin and Obi-Wan since 2002. -Campbell

I did read Cloak of Deception and enjoyed it. With Terence Stamp playing Valorum in the movie it really made me want to read more about his character. As I recall, the book also provides a good introduction to some of the factions we later see in Episode II.
As for The Phantom Menace novel, I liked the "deleted" scenes concentrated in the beginning on Tatooine and I liked how it was explained that Anakin blew up the Trade Federation Control Ship, but otherwise I recall the writing being amateurish. This was a huge shock to me considering Terry Brooks is such a giant in Fantasy literature. I wonder if this is why we never saw him return to the Star Wars milieu. -Campbell

For those that enjoy hating Star Wars, the "funny" 70-minute reviewer of Phantom Menace is back to tear down Episode II.
I've only seen part I so far, and it is a bit more fair and logical- but totally negative. That's OK, at least it makes more sense than the first one. Like the ep1 review they like to angle all the facts in one direction. It leaves out tons of info to prove their point. Also, like the first one, these are not reviews for kids or safe for work. Some of the implications of the "humor" are so filthy and disturbing that I truly wish they'd been left out- even of a heavy-handed bile spill like this. -Campbell
