On the one hand, this book is an excellent companion to the prequel trilogy of films and I’m a little sad it’s no longer canon.

Pretty much everyone who knows me knows I like "Star Wars", but what some of them may be surprised to hear is that "The Phantom Menace" was pretty much my introduction to George Lucas' space opera. Oh, sure, I'd been hearing references to it for years prior, and I even had a primitive (by today's s...
