In this first installment of the prequel trilogy we will be introduced to young Anakin Skywalker. 8 year-old Anakin lives with his mother, Shmi, in a Desert City on Tatooine. We'll meet young Obi-Wan Kenobi, along with his Jedi mentor, and the beautiful young queen, as they attempt to resolve a galactic conflict! This chapter of the saga will have a tone similar to that of Episode IV - A New Hope, as it will be an exciting adventure and set up the drama to come!
Text on the Episode 1 toys state the following:
A generation before Star Wars: A New Hope... In a galaxy far, far away, an evil force is gaining strength and threatens an entire civilization. two courageous Jedi, a young queen, a Gungun outcast, and a slave boy named Anakin, band together to save a planet under attack as the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance.
This chapter is set approximately ten years after Episode I. We'll likely see a more mature Anakin fall in love, amid the conflict of the Clone Wars. The Jedi Knights valiantly defend the galaxy from the forces of evil. The degree of drama rises as Palpatine begins to plot out his evil conspiracy to attain supreme rule, spelling certain doom for our heroes!
The events in the final prequel take place a few years after the end of Episode II. Events take a downward turn in this darkest of the tales. Palpatine has declared himself Emperor and his New Order rises to power. Anakin Skywalker falls to the dark side of the Force and Darth Vader aides the Emperor in the extermination of the Jedi Knights. Obi-Wan Kenobi and the Jedi Master Yoda, attempt to protect Anakin's wife, and her children from the violent turmoil. They recognize that the children would become Vader's greatest threat, and their safety preserves a slight glimmer of hope for the galaxy.
