Book Description:
The ultimate guide to the absolute power at the heart of
the Star Wars galaxy.
The Force, in the immortal words of Obi-Wan Kenobi,
“surrounds us, it penetrates us, it binds the galaxy
together.” The fortunate few who are able to tap into
this extraordinary power have studied and cultivated the
full spectrum of its potential–either embracing its
virtuous qualities or succumbing to its evil
temptations. The Jedi seek to bring peace and
enlightenment to the galaxy, while the Sith hunger only
for conquest and control.
This comprehensive one-of-a-kind overview chronicles the
known history of the Force and its wielders down through
the ages, from the founding tenets of Jedi and Sith
teachings to the landmark events and legendary figures
who have shaped the struggle between the light and dark
sides. In first-hand accounts by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda,
Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa Solo, Darth Bane, Darth
Vader, Count Dooku, Emperor Palpatine, and a host of
other Jedi Masters, Sith Lords, scholars, and sages, Star
Wars: Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force
spans the breadth of available knowledge, including
- the first recorded discovery of the
Force
- significant battles affected by the
Force throughout galactic history
- the purpose, construction, and
importance of Holocrons
- the evolution of the Jedi and Sith
orders
- Force-sensitive
abilities–including battle meditation,
telekinesis, and “mind tricks”
- noteworthy Jedi and Sith
lightsabers, and the seven forms of lightsaber
combat
- a vivid portrait of the Chosen One,
Anakin Skywalker
