Happy Star Wars Day! Fans may have already watched all of the Star Wars movies to prep for today, but Disney Lucasfilm is dishing out even more galactic goodies to celebrate with — for free.

Get to know Padmé on a deeper level with a free e-book download of Star Wars: Queen’s Shadow, a young adult novel written by E. K. Johnston, the No. 1 New York Times best-selling author of Ahsoka!

The book follows the story of Padmé after she is asked by the newly elected queen to become Naboo’s representative in the Galactic Senate. She is unsure about taking on the new role, but cannot turn down the request to serve her people. It is an empowering tale about finding courage and identity as a young, new leader.

Star Wars fans in the U.S. can download the e-book for free before Friday, May 8, via Disney Books here.
