This story happened a long time ago in a galaxy far,far away. It is already over. Nothing can be done to change it.

It is a story of lote and loss, brotherhood and betrayal, courage and sacrifice and the death of dreams. It is a story of the blurred line between our best and our worst.

It is the story of the end of an age.

A strange thing about stories--

Though this all bappened so long ago and so far away that words cannot describe the time or the distance, it is also happening right now. Right here.

It is happening as you read these words.

This is bow twenty-five millennia come to a close. Cor ruption and treachery bate crushed a thousand years of peace. Tbis is not just the end of a republic; night is falling on civilization itself.

This is the twilight of the Jedi.

The end starts now.

As combat escalates across the galaxy, the stage is set for an explosive endgame: Obiwan  undertakes a perilous mission to destroy the dreaded Separatist military leader, General Grievous. Supreme Chanceilor Palpatine continues to strip away constitutional liberties in the name of"security while influencing public opinion to turn against the Jedi. And a conflicted Anakin fears that his secret love, Senator Padme Amidala, will die. Tormented by unspeakable visions, Anakin edges closer to the brink of" a galaxy-shaping decision. It remains only for Darth Sidious to strike the final staggering blow against the Republic--and to ordain a fearsome new Sith Lord: Darth Vader.
