The Star Wars Prequel Novelizations **
 * Here is a film review of //Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace// by Roger Ebert. Reviews of the film were very mixed, and the movie divided Star Wars fans across the globe. Ebert bestowed //Phantom// with three and a half stars. Because he is a famous film critic, and trusted by many, his postive review likely helped the film at the box office due to the clout he posseses with his readers. However, his review of //Episode II: Attack of the Clones// wasn't as favorable. One can go to Ebert's site ([|http://rogerebert.suntimes.com]), and search for this review and also his three-and-a-half star review of //Revenge of the Sith//.

 * The Star Wars prequel novels were written by respected authors of science fiction, and commissioned by Lucasfilm. Because they are novels, these works are able to provide much of the back story that was unable to be presented on film. Being released before the movies came out fans, if they chose, could learn the main plot points of the film. The early release dates of the books came to be considered a controversial decision. The above selections refer to the hardcover editions.
