Official Score = 2 1/2 Devils[/caption]Now you may not think this to be the case, but it is quite true... You ever hear the old saying, 'a movie based on a novel is never as good as the book'? Well I will be honest and say that, that statement is not always true, as a matter of fact I would say that there are a few Tom Clancy novels that I have read that tended to be better in movie form then they were in book form!
Despite that it is mostly true that novels that were turned in to movies tend usually to be better in written form then they are in movie form, with that said though, I hate to say it, but some times the reverse is not true (some times it is as well), but in the case of the novelization of the Star Wars movie, the movie in my opinion was better then the book!
You might be wondering why this is, I mean after all this book is based on the movie and should have the same story line and everything right? Well the truth is, is that this novel does actually have the same story line as the movie, the problem with this novel is that for me it lost the enchantment that comes with being able to envision the world that you are reading about in your imagination!

The novelization of the movie, 'Star Wars' may not be as good, but if you haven't seen this movie yet, then it maybe a good place to start![/caption]With all of this in mind though it is a fun book, and if you happen to have not seen the Star Wars movies yet at all... Or haven't at the very least seen the first movie in the original series, then I think you guys might find it to be interesting... Story wise this story has a lot of myth and wonder, suspense, action and heck even romance...
So if you haven't dived in to this series in movie form yet, or at the very least haven't seen the first movie yet, then check this out, you might find out that you really enjoy it... And it may even help introduce you to the movies as well!
