Star Wars: Episode I
Greg Bear, John Whitman & Terry Brooks · 3 novels · 1999–2000
Terry Brooks' novelization of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) expands the film's script with additional dialogue and character background, including material on Anakin Skywalker and Sith history, plus scenes that were filmed but cut from the finished movie. Greg Bear's Rogue Planet (2000), an original tie-in rather than an adaptation, is set a few years after the film and follows young Anakin and Obi-Wan investigating a mysterious world that grows living spacecraft.
