This is another deleted scene from the film. Maul leaps up there as well until he is knocked off. The duel between Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Maul on Tatooine does not end with Qui-Gon simply jumping onto the ship.Brooks also covers the story of Darth Bane and how he created the Sith Rule of Two. Background for the Sith is given, showing their origin and reasons for wanting revenge against the Jedi.

This may be dialogue from a deleted scene. When Anakin first meets Padmé Amidala, he tells her he is going to marry her.The scene was filmed but cut from the final film. Anakin beats up a Rodian named Greedo this foreshadows Anakin's descent to the dark side.More background for Anakin is given which ties into later comments in the film, such as Anakin's conversation with a pilot about angels, and Anakin's race in which Sebulba causes him to crash Watto's podracer, and an encounter with an injured Tusken Raider.The novel begins with a podrace on Tatooine, in which Anakin Skywalker crashes Watto's racer.Some of the dialogue helps to explain certain scenes in more depth than in the film,Īnd the relationship between Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi is more well established. Terry Brooks spoke with George Lucas about the background of the novel. It is based on the script of the film of the same name and released with multiple covers, including Darth Maul, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Queen Amidala.
