The Force is Strong
Although this book is in the "Legends" of Star Wars the connection to the Star Wars Universe is strong! Learning more about Darth Plagueis fills in gaps that have not yet been written. James Luceno's writing creates vivid images and brings a level of connection to characters in an entirely new way. I truly felt a heart pounding need to see where the story went, despite knowing the outcome via the movies. A must have must read for any Star Wars fan.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Rule of two
As soon as Sidious enters the scene, the real show begins, as always. But I guess we must know the way and the person who shaped him as well.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
