We dive into the novelization for The Phantom Menace by Terry Brooks and discuss the additions, the changes, and what makes it work.

We are joined by Ross Hollebon of the Album Cockpit Podcast and Fantatracks.com.

In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:

• Our first experiences reading the novelization of The Phantom Menace,
• Some of our favorite scenes that appeared in the novel that were not in the movie,
• How this stroy works as a novel compared to as a movie,
• The discussion of the origins of the Jedi and the Sith according to the novel,
• The Living Force versus the Unifying Force,
• How attachment was portrayed,
• Obi-Wan Kenobi's intolerance for Anakin Skywalker and Jar Jar Binks and his relationship with Qui-Gon Jinn,
• How the politics were expanded upon in the novel, and more!
