Synopsis: Young Anakin Skywalker, a bright nine-year-old boy. Living with his mother on a desert planet as a slave. A boy with dreams where he flies amongst the stars. And freeing the other slaves from Tatooine as a Jedi Knight. But that they are, dreams. The only think a slave can do in this hard world, dream. But the life of this slave has changed. He has been set free, has helped a world get ride of its oppressor. And is taken to the Jedi Council to become a Jedi.

Review:This is the journal of Anakin Skywalker. Where he started to write down his experiences from the last couple of days. The day when he saw a planet freed, new friends being made and old friends die. A period where so many things changed. Where everything seems like a dream. But it all happened. A time of big changes in a little boys life. Read and you will know how he did experience everything.

Another interesting journal. From the movie, but to you who don't have seen the episode I DVD. There will be a little surprise. A good book, telling us more about who the nine year old Anakin really is. A lot is already shown in the movie. But still a way of thinking is sometimes hard to see on the screen. This journal also has great graphics in it from the movie. Every chapter has it´s own background. It's own little things to go with it. A great book, just as the other journals to read in an hour or two. Not hard, nice large letters, so you can read it before going to sleep. And no difficult English words. Light, good and interesting material. I can only tell you to read it yourself. It is time well spent in my opinion.
