The Darth Plagueis novel also added a ton of context to The Phantom Menace for me. It’s a long history of Palpatine and Plagueis that goes all the way up to the Battle of Naboo, so it really feels like you can see clearly Plagueis’ influence on Palpatine and his scheming. If I remember correctly, Luceno even does a couple of the scenes from the movie, with way more detail. I rewatched it after finishing the book and got a lot more out of it.

Darth Plagueis was the best star wars audio book in my humble opinion.

Dead pan humor in the writing comes alive, voice actor was perfect and great back story.

Yes! I listened to a couple chapters when I didn’t have the book with me, and ended up going back and listening from the beginning. It’s a great audiobook.
