George Lucas has said that Episode III contains practically enough content to fill its own trilogy. Thanks to a nifty little high-tech invention called "books," it's possible to realize that vision.

James Luceno's Labyrinth of Evil served as the perfect introduction to Episode III, despite admittedly frustrating continuity flaws with Cartoon Network's Clone Wars micro-series (although I frankly blame CN for that ). Matthew Stover's novel serves as the perfect extension of what you see on-screen. Luceno'sDark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader, coming November 22, stands to perfectly wrap up Episode III, as well as serve as another link in the connecting chain between PT and OT.

I can't wait.
