That being said, there’s not a whole lot to go off of. Since the story takes place DURING The Phantom Menace, we know that the story will include a young Anakin, Qui-Gon, padawan Obi-Wan, etc.
Though there is one interesting page that shows Anakin as a padawan wielding a yellow-lightsaber. I’m going to guess that this is going to be a dream sequence showing Anakin’s precognition at young age. Just a guess though.
