About this product

Product Information

Throughout the galaxy, it was believed that Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker-the Chosen One-had died on Coruscant during the siege of the Jedi Temple. And, to some extent, that was true. Anakin was dead. From the site of Anakin Skywalker's last stand-on the molten surface of the planet Mustafar, where he sought to destroy his friend and former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi-a fearsome specter in black has risen. Once the most powerful Knight ever known to the Jedi Order, he is now a disciple of the dark side, a lord of the dreaded Sith, and the avenging right hand of the galaxy's ruthless new Emperor. Seduced, deranged, and destroyed by the machinations of the Dark Lord Sidious, Anakin Skywalker is dead . . . and Darth Vader lives. Word of the events that created him-the Jedi Council's failed mutiny against Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, the self-crowned Emperor's retaliatory command to exterminate the Jedi Order, and Anakin's massacre of his comrades and Masters in the Jedi Temple-has yet to reach all quarters. On the Outer Rim world of Murkhana, Jedi Masters Roan Shryne and Bol Chatak and Padawan Olee Starstone are leading a charge on a Separatist stronghold, unaware that the tide, red with Jedi blood, has turned suddenly against them. When the three narrowly elude execution-and become the desperate prey in a hunt across space-it's neither clone soldiers, nor the newly deployed stormtroopers, nor even the wrath of the power-hungry Emperor himself they must fear most. The deadliest threat rests in the hideously swift and lethal crimson lightsaber of Darth Vader-behind whose brooding mask lies a shattered heart, a poisoned soul, and a cunning, twisted mind hell-bent on vengeance. For the handful of scattered Jedi, survival is imperative if the light side of the Force is to be protected and the galaxy somehow, someday reclaimed. Yet more important still is the well-being of the twin infants, Leia and Luke Skywalker, the children of Anakin and his doomed bride, Padmé Amidala. Separated after Padmé's death, they must be made safe at all costs, lest the hope they represent for the future be turned to horror by the new Sith regime-and the unspeakable power of the dark side.

With the blessing of George Lucas, author James Luceno takes his readers through Vaders psychological and emotional journey towards the acceptance of his new persona as well as his place within the Dark Side of the Force. Luceno focuses on details such as the limitations of Vaders body suit, a necessity brought forth by his defeat at the hands of his brother and old Master Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar. Other topics, such as the adjustment to his light saber technique to his very manner of walking are also discussed. Star Wars: Dark Lord - The Rise of Darth Vader is a tale of ascension wherein Darth Vader, consumed by anger and hate, regains his lost confidence as well as his resolve in the Dark Side.

A must-read for anyone interested in Darth Vader
After seeing Revenge of the Sith last year, we were all left with questions as to the events that occured in the 20 years between episodes 3 and 4. Dark Lord gives us a brief look into that dark time. James Luceno does a fantastic job of developing DARTH VADER'S character, not just Anakin's. A lot of questions are answered, such as why Vader's agility and speed have been lost as a result of his transformation, and why he created the special chamber seen in The Empire Strikes Back in which he can survive outside his suit. The main protagonist Roan Shryne and his band of surviving Jedi carry the story along decently, though I would've liked to see more of Vader. This is definately not for anyone with a particularly soft spot for the good guys, because we all know where this story ends. I ...

This is definately not for anyone with a particularly soft spot for the good guys, because we all know where this story ends. I would for sure like to see a followup, perhaps some more Vader-action. He may have lost some of his finesse but he's still the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy.

Pretty good Star Wars book
*Spoiler Alert* As Star Wars books go, this one is pretty good. The story begins shortly after the point at which the film (Episode III, Revenge of the Sith) leaves off. My primary problem with it is that while Vader is obsessed with exterminating the Jedi, Sidious considers their threat negligible. That's not really in keeping with what we see in Episode III. Vader's motivation would make a lot more sense to me if his fervor for hunting the Jedi was born of a need to vicariously take revenge on Obi-Wan. Still, the characters of the surviving Jedi are well-drawn, and the movies' secondary characters, particularly that of Bail Organa, are wholly authentic. Vader's point of view regarding his handicapped condition and his psychological transitions into life as a Sith are well written. ... *Spoiler Alert* As Star Wars books go, this one is pretty good.

Vader's point of view regarding his handicapped condition and his psychological transitions into life as a Sith are well written. The events flow and fit together well, and Roan Shryne (the book's true protagonist, in spite of the title) is a likable and believable character. Overall, a good interpretation of the Star Wars universe that generally fits well into the milieu of the films.

The Most Intriguing Villian
James Luceno's brilliant sequel to Revenge of the Sith manages to not only complete the saga of Anakin's descent into Darth Vader, but create a dynamic, moving portrait of loss and acceptance in a galaxy turned suddenly upside down. Jedi Knight, Roan Shryne, has all but abandoned his faith in the Force in the wake of the tragic events of Order 66. He finds little solace in his companion, a plucky young Padawan who has grand plans of saving the remnant of Jedi. En route, he discovers something even more disturbing, a chance to give up life as a Jedi and start over as an ordinary man. Darth Vader is also undergoing a crisis of faith, unable to move on past the deceit and betrayal of his masters (both Obi Wan and Sidious) and to forge for himself a reason for being other than as yet another ... James Luceno's brilliant sequel to Revenge of the Sith manages to not only complete the saga of Anakin's descent into Darth Vader, but create a dynamic, moving portrait of loss and acceptance in a galaxy turned suddenly upside down. Jedi Knight, Roan Shryne, has all but abandoned his faith in the Force in the wake of the tragic events of Order 66. He finds little solace in his companion, a plucky young Padawan who has grand plans of saving the remnant of Jedi. En route, he discovers something even more disturbing, a chance to give up life as a Jedi and start over as an ordinary man. Darth Vader is also undergoing a crisis of faith, unable to move on past the deceit and betrayal of his masters (both Obi Wan and Sidious) and to forge for himself a reason for being other than as yet another pawn for Palpy. But the dark plans of Sidious have only just begun as the Sith Lord prods and pushes Vader into situations that will trigger the chrsalysis of rage, a pathway to the true power of the dark side. His machinations will team Vader up with the newest emergent power, an Imperial Moff, who's overarching designs will mean the enslavement of a nation and the means of fueling life into the Empire's emerging superweapon, the Death Star. Luceno builds a story filled with pathos, horror and intriguing insights into the minds of Darths Vader and Sidious. Numerous long-standing questions are answered along the way as we're enmeshed in the moral dilemma of a galaxy that's lost its way: a Clone Commando who will not obey Order 66, a politician who risks all to secretly undermine the Empire, a young Padawan that learns -- too late -- the price of blind obedience to duty, a race of fierce beings who will fight at all costs a losing battle against tyranny, and the former Chosen One who learns that he needs the Jedi still to grow into the agent of evil he's chosen to become.

Misleading title
You think a book titled "The Rise Of Darth Vader" would actually be about Darth Vader... A majority of the book is about a group of forgettable jedi characters, with Vader passages sprinkled throughout. Very disappointing.
