Fiction. Science Fiction. Thriller. HTML:There is a great disturbance in the Force. . . . From the sleek ships of the glimmering Coruscant skyscape to the lush gardens of pastoral Naboo, dissent is roiling. The Republic is failing, even under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, elected ten years earlier to save the crumbling government. Separatists threaten war, and the Senate is hopelessly divided, unable to determine whether to raise an army for battle or keep the fragile peace. It is a stalemate that once broken, could lead to galactic chaos.

Mischievous and resolved, courageous to the point of recklessness, Anakin Skywalker has come of age in a time of great upheaval. The nineteen-year-old apprentice to Obi-Wan Kenobi is an enigma to the Jedi Council, and a challenge to his Jedi Master. Time has not dulled Anakinâ??s ambition, nor has his Jedi training tamed his independent streak. When an attempt on Senator Padmé Amidalaâ??s life brings them together for the first time in ten years, it is clear that time also has not dulled Anakinâ??s intense feelings for the beautiful diplomat.

The attack on Senator Amidala just before a crucial vote thrusts the Republic even closer to the edge of disaster. Masters Yoda and Mace Windu sense enormous unease. The dark side is growing, clouding the Jediâ??s perception of the events. Unbeknownst to the Jedi, a slow rumble is building into the roar of thousands of soldiers readying for battle. But even as the Republic falters around them, Anakin and Padmé find a connection so intense that all else begins to fall away. Anakin will lose himselfâ??and his wayâ??in emotions a Jedi, sworn to hold allegiance only to the Order, is forbidden to have.

Based on the story by George Lucas and the screenplay by George Lucas and Jonathan Hales, this intense and revealing novel by bestselling author R. A. Salvatore sheds new light on the legend of Star Warsâ??and skillfully illuminates one o

I’ve never been partial to the works of Mr. Salvatore, until now.

While the Attack of the Clones novelisation lacks the dramatic music and framing of the movie, it does a superior job at character writing and making sense of the plot. Extra dialogue and entire scenes are added, fleshing out the story. It’s a noteworthy improvement.

What stood out to me in particular is the chemistry between Anakin and Padma. Something infamously absent in the movie. I likewise appreciated the deeper look into Anakin’s character at this point in time, which the novelisation provides. It makes his inevitable fall more understandable, and more tragic as a result. I understand the Revenge of the Sith novelisation continues these trends. We’ll see once I reach that book; for now I’ll delve into the numerous stories contained in the original Clone Wars Multimedia Project.

Stories written between the release of episode II and III back in the day. Before The Clone Wars animated series muddied the Expanded Universe timeline. ( )

Much better than re watching the film. I'm annoyed by the POV/scene changes that happen between paragraph breaks - they are disconcerting and not visually obvious. ( )

The novelization of the second prequel film Attack of the Clones hit shelves a few weeks before the film hit theaters, written by noted fantasy-science fiction author R.A. Salvatore based off the script of the film.

From a script to page perspective, Salvatore does a wonderful job in adaptation especially with action scenes and doing his best in lessening the cringe factor in some of the romantic dialogue between Anakin and Padme. The decision by Salvatore to create subplots for the Lars family and Jango & Boba Fett to not only give context to what happens on screen but create more rounded characters. The addition of Padme’s family—which was cut from the film—and adding internal monologues for her made the romantic subplot a whole lot better than on screen, though overall the subplot still had issues which due to the script Salvatore couldn’t overcome.

Attack of the Clones is definitely a novelization that is better than it’s film source material, which is a testament to R.A. Salvatore’s talent. ( )

Man I just love novelizations. They can give you so much more of the little details that time constraints keep out of the movies. Like it took 40 pages to get to the opening scene of the movie! That said, I still don't like the actual story of Attack of the Clones, hence the middle of the road rating. Liked the way the story was told here, but the story itself (and everything about Padme/Anakin) is not my cup of tea. ( )

Like its predecessor, this book is an improvement on the film it novelizes. Primarily this is due to the fact that it includes a lot of scenes where minor characters get fleshed out, such as Shmi and Lars and Jango and Boba Fett, as well as some deeper insight to Anakin's relationship with Obi-Wan. Presumably these were in early scripts but were cut to prevent the movie being 5 hours long. There are scenes that I wish had made the cut in the film, such as when Padme brings home Anakin to meet her family. It is much better at developing their relationship than any of the scenes that made it into the movie. Unfortunately, all that painfully bad dialogue of Padme and Anakin expressing their anguished love is also present in the book (plus the author seems creepily obsessed with describing Padme's beauty). So this is no masterpiece of literature but it does offer some things that you don't get from the movie. ( )

Clocking in at 353 pages, R.A. Salvatore's novelization of Episode II: Attack of the Clones is about a hundred pages longer than it has any right to be. While it captures the story well and includes some pretty good writing for the action scenes, the poor pacing makes the novel as a whole a bit disappointing.

His mind absorbed the scene before him, so quiet and calm and . . . normal.
Shmi Skywalker Lars stood on the edge of the sand berm marking the perimeter of the moisture farm, one leg up higher, to the very top of the ridge, knee bent.
