Еще совсем недавно было трудно поверить, что убеленный сединами наставник Оби-Ван Кеноби когда-то был безусым юнцом, а повергающий Галактику в трепет Император Палпратин - лишь амбициозным сенатором. И совершенно невозможно представить зловещего Дарта Вейдера маленьким мальчиком, который живет в рабстве на Татуине, а по ночам мечтает о далеких звездах. Мы попадаем в то самое время, когда рыцари-джедаи еще хранят мир и спокойствие в Галактике. Но темная сила, готовая поглотить планеты и народы, уже пробудилась, и только древнее пророчество джедаев об избранном, который принесет равновесие в Силу, дает надежду в преддверии катастрофы. Скрытая угроза нависла над Республикой, простоявшей не одну тысячу лет, но теперь погрязшей в пучине политических разногласий и интриг
