A Republic in turmoil

Trade-route taxation sets a political dispute in motion, with the Trade Federation’s blockade cutting off Naboo while the Republic’s Congress debates its response. Two Jedi Knights are sent to address the crisis, and a crash places Anakin Skywalker on a path that will shape his connection to the Jedi. The setup brings galactic governance, trade conflict, and the Jedi’s peacekeeping role into the same space-opera narrative, framing the larger stakes through events on Naboo and Anakin’s early story.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Star Wars readers interested in the events preceding Anakin Skywalker’s transformation into Darth Vader.
  • Space-opera fans drawn to stories involving galactic politics, trade disputes, and Jedi.

Book overview

Before he became Darth Vader, he was Anakin Skywalker. One fateful crash will put Anakin on a path that will forever change the world of the Jedi.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away . . .

Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic. The taxation of trade routes to outlying star systems is in dispute.

Hoping to resolve the matter with a blockade of deadly battleships, the greedy Trade Federation has stopped all shipping to the small planet of Naboo.

While the Congress of the Republic endlessly debates this alarming chain of events, the Supreme Chancellor has secretly dispatched two Jedi Knights, the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, to settle the conflict. . . .
