Star Wars: Episode I gets a whole new spin from the POV of Anakin Skywalker himself.
I’ve seen Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace more times than I’m comfortable admitting, and I’m pretty sure Anakin doesn’t run around with a yellow lightsaber in it. And yet, in Marvel’s new comic, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary Special #1 coming out May 1, that’s exactly what’ll happen. Written by Greg Pak, featuring art by Will Sliney and a cover by Phil Noto, the comic will retell the story of The Phantom Menace wholly from Anakin’s point of view.
“I was eight when A New Hope came out, so for my formative years, Star Wars was synonymous with the original trilogy,” Pak told StarWars.com. “But I delved deep into the prequels when I came on board as the writer of Marvel’s Darth Vader comics, watching and rewatching all of them. And I found myself dazzled by the long game George Lucas was playing in laying out the tragedy of Darth Vader.
