Summary
Every saga has a beginning: In barren desert lands and seedy spaceports, in vast underwater cities and in the blackest depths of space unfolds a tale of good and evil, of myth and magic, of innocence and power. At last the saga that captured the imagination of millions turns back in time to reveal its cloaked origins, the start of a legend, the story of Star Wars.
Based on the screenplay by George Lucas, this novel by the master storyteller Terry Brooks probes the depths of one of the greatest tales of our time, providing rich detail and insight into the minds and motives of the characters, and shedding bold new light on Lucas's brilliant creation.

Great adaptation
Brilliant read and voiced. Good sound accompaniment. Story follows the film perfectly, although dialogue for descriptions on original text could have been enhanced, although very enjoyable.

Good but lots of background music
I love Star Wars and this story! I didn't appreciate the amount of sound and music in the background, felt like I had the TV on.

A Great Listen
I thoroughly enjoyed this, well worth buying. As with most books, this expands the storyline from the movie, and delves deeper into the thoughts of the characters, which definitely adds to the story.
There was something that I found a little disappointing though. The Narrator pronounced Palpatine incorrectly, a minor point I know, but you'd think he may have checked the pronunciation of characters names, before he started reading ;-)

Short but enjoyable
Just reads out the events of the movie, basically. I enjoyed the audiobook, the narration is excellent and the sound effects really add to the experience.

The start was confusing
The start of the book is really confusing, start and smack bang in the middle of the pod race, apart from that there was no issues in the book, the story is flawed rather well, It help in the larger picture of episode one for me can’t wait for the second book

an obvious choice for any star wars fan.
reinvigorating the story with new details and slightly different dialogue it brings a fresh feel to the story.
