 The pit droids get their day! November 12, 2007
"Anakin's Pit Droid" is an expanded universe story that fits neatly into "the Phantom Menace." The plot flushes out events that happen just prior to the podrace that wins Anakin Skywalker's freedom. As with Qui-Gon's pre-race pep talk, there are moments that act as markers, connecting this expanded universe story with the film. As the title suggests, the protagonist isn't a Jedi (or soon-to-be Jedi) but DUM-4, a pit droid. These are the mechanic helpers that are always quick to add comedic relief. Anakin sends DUM-4 on a mission that eventually involves Sebulba and even Jabba the Hutt. The story illustrates how hard work pays off. Beyond this, it shows how anyone can be courageous, regardless of size. The book is best suited for those between an upper second to a lower third grade reading level. "Anakin's Pit Droid" is a story that will appeal to any young reader, regardless of size.

The best part is when Anakin's pit droid helps him get the power plug from Sebulba. He has to be brave. The brave little droid helps Anakin put the power plug in the engine. Everybody cheers when Anakin wins the race.

This was a good little book. The thing that impressed me with it is that the story actually fits into the continuity of The Phantom Menace. The art is well-done and was obviously done by someone who understands and takes pride in the Star Wars universe. A lot of books that are similar to this seem to be done by people who hadn't even seen the relevant movie. Incidentally, George Lucas has claimed that the pit droids are his favorite characters from Episode 1.
