    Overall this oneshot is worthy as serving as a 25th Anniversary Special. Pak continues to show the grasp he has on the various characters in the Star Wars Universe and Anakin both as a young boy and later as Darth Vader. Will this special end the debate about the film itself, probably not, but it is a great step in viewing the events from a different perspective both in time and space. Read Full Review

    The book might not necessarily win over critics of the prequels or bring substantial changes to the source material, but anyone who holds The Phantom Menace close to their heart will appreciate seeing beloved sequences illustrated with such vibrancy while also seeing interactions that feel like we've unearthed deleted scenes crafted by George Lucas himself.

    The issue isn't reinventing the wheel when it comes to telling the story of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. It's a film we've all seen at least once, and are pretty familiar with the finer details of the story. But it is undaunted by the task of retelling the story. It breeze's through the scene's from the film & fleshes out some moments that happened off screen. It's a fun read for anyone who's seen the film, no matter how big of a Star Wars fan you are.

While not groundbreaking and does not significantly expand on existing lore, it serves as a great love letter to one of the most polarizing films in the Skywalker Saga. Read Full Review
