AOTC Novelization
The Official Star Wars Site provides a glimpse into the upcoming Attack of the Clones movie through the novel.
A decade has past since the events of The Phantom Menace. Despite his promises of reform, Palpatine's Republic is crumbling. Separatists are carving the galaxy apart, and the beleaguered Jedi struggle to maintain the peace. The beautiful young Senator from Naboo, Padmé Amidala, finds her life in danger. The Jedi assign her a guardian for her protection -- the courageous, if reckless, Anakin Skywalker. Thus the stage is set for a tale of romance, intrigue, rebellion and war.
Salvatore not only adapted the screenplay by George Lucas and Jonathan Hales, but has worked closely with Lucas to further expand the story, offering insights into character and events through scenes that won't be seen on the big screen.
Star Wars: Attack of the Clones will be available on April 23 in hardcover from Del Rey Books, and features cover jacket illustration by Steven D. Anderson.
