Revenge of the Sith: Star Wars: Episode III by Matthew Woodring Stover Book Summary

The turning point for the entire Star Wars saga is at hand

After years of civil war, the Separatists have battered the already faltering Republic nearly to the point of collapse. On Coruscant, the Senate watches anxiously as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine aggressively strips away more and more constitutional liberties in the name of safeguarding the Republic. Yoda, Mace Windu, and their fellow Masters grapple with the Chancellor’ s disturbing move to assume control of the Jedi Council. And Anakin Skywalker, the prophesied Chosen One, destined to bring balance to the Force, is increasingly consumed by his fear that his secret love, Senator Padmé Amidala, will die.

As the combat escalates across the galaxy, the stage is set for an explosive endgame: Obi-Wan undertakes a perilous mission to destroy the dreaded Separatist military leader General Grievous. Palpatine, eager to secure even greater control, subtly influences public opinion to turn against the Jedi. And a conflicted Anakin–tormented by unspeakable visions– edges dangerously closer to the brink of a galaxy-shaping decision. It remains only for Darth Sidious, whose shadow looms ever larger, to strike the final staggering blow against the Republic . . . and to ordain a fearsome new Sith Lord: Darth Vader.

Based on the screenplay of the eagerly anticipated final film in George Lucas’s epic saga, bestselling Star Wars author Matthew Stover’s novel crackles with action, captures the iconic characters in all their complexity, and brings a space opera masterpiece full circle in stunning style.

Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!

It Is the Will of the Force. Episode 3 is one of the better films of the prequel trilogy, and this book takes it a step beyond. From its depictions of internal conflict and its powerful description of character's emotions, it's a surely moving book.

REMARKABLE. Back in 2005, when star was III: the revenge of the sith was like a horror movie to me, when i always judged movies by there posters, it gave me the best 2 hours of my life and so did this book, i couldn't stop reading

Revenge of the Sith…. Well, yeah it is the revenge of the Sith—lol ~Anastasia Skywalker, an AU Jedi Knight

Great.. I liked this book better than the movie. Anakin's turn to the dark side is more tragic and emotional.

Incredible. I actually think that this is much better than the movie

Perfect 90/5. It’s the best Star Wars book and it gives you lots of details what do they think and what do they do it’s amazing

The Very Best the Galaxy Has to Offer. The novelization of Revenge of the Sith is without a doubt the most well-written Star Wars book I have ever read (and I’ve read nearly a hundred). I’m not even a huge fan of the prequel films. But from the first page to the last, I savored Stover’s version of an extremely dramatic and tragic series of events in the Star Wars universe. He had me writing down memorable quotes, fighting back tears, and completely tuning out the real world until I had finished reading–and I already knew the ending! Readers like myself attempt to describe the beauty of this novel, but we cannot do it justice. But to put it simply, Stover hasn’t just written a good Star Wars book; he’s crafted an experience. He draws in the readers, helping us identify and sympathize with Anakin. The novel allows you to view scenes from the film from different viewpoints, from the perspective of different characters, and through the lens of expert prose. Books like this remind me why I enjoy Star Wars, reading, great storytelling, and even the English language. This novel speaks to the ideas of despair, hope, loyalty, manipulation, courage, and, of course, darkness and light. With Revenge of the Sith, Stover sets the standard for not only a great film novelization, but for an engaging Star Wars book. I fully plan on returning to this book regularly.

Very Well Done. The official novelization of Star Wars Revenge Of The Sith is based on both the story and screenplay by George Lucas. Because of this fact, the book communicates the same story as the movie but with much extended scenes as well as some altered details such as dialog. The tale of Anakin Skywalker's fall to the dark side is nicely fleshed out in this novel and I have to say that once things get rolling the book is hard to put down. If you plan on reading James Luceno's Labyrinth Of Evil, I suggest that you do so before reading this novel. Luceno's prequel is excellent, but once you have read Revenge Of The Sith there is really no need to go back in time and read Labyrinth Of Evil. Matthew Stover does a fine job of delivering this story in a fully understandable format, even if you haven't read any Star Wars novels from the expanded universe. Over all, this novel is a good thick one with all the great stuff that you expect from Star Wars. Several references to events that occurred in previous expanded universe novels are scattered throughout this book but there aren't so many that you would get lost if you haven't read those novels. So, if you are a fan of all things Star Wars or if you haven't yet explored beyond the movies, I believe that you will enjoy this dramatic story.

Every self-respecting Star Wars fan MUST read this book!. The level of character development is unprecedented for any Star Wars novel I’ve ever read and even characters barely touched upon in the movies (General Grievous, Count Dooku, etc.) are given full backstories and motivations. The plot is no slouch either. Despite any misgivings you might have toward the label “prequel” you’d be hard-pressed not to appreciate this story. The ultimate fall from grace of one so gifted and the orchestrated perversions of his pure intentions are reminiscent of Shakespearean tragedy and truly capture the magnificence of one of the greatest space operas of all time.

Revenge of the Sith: Novelization is a must-read for any Star Wars fan. I've described the novelizations for both The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones as must-reads for Star Wars fans, and while that's true, I think they pale in comparison to the novelization for Revenge of the Sith. It's already the strongest of the prequel trilogy when it comes to the films, and Matthew Stover's adaptation manages to further flesh out the thoughts, feelings and attitudes of both the heroes and villains. It is an absolutely riveting story, and any fan of Star Wars – particularly those who want to get into reading more books in the series, should consider this book mandatory reading.

Plagueis' Creation.. Vergence in the force. Heir to throne of the darth title. The first and last of his kind. This book dives into the deeper emotions that Anakin has and feels. His fear to be without those he loved, drove his lust for powers far out side of the Jedi. The reader gets to truly feel how justified his decisions are, and get to experience the cruel heartbreak that the dark side of the force can bring. Young Master Lucas should be proud, this book is like the deeper thriller rated R version of Revenge of the Sith. Thank you Matt Stover. If you can get the license for "Starkiller's" story. I think giving your writing style it would be done well, and give us (the fans) more insight on why Vader choose to grab this child. Thank you for re telling a story that wasn't meant for children.

Art. In Star Wars form.. This book is honestly one of the best books I have ever read. I happen to read a lot of books. I will try and fail to describe the beauty of it, by saying that it brings you inside the characters. Inside the action. Into the Force. You find yourself suddenly.. understanding the true depths of Sidious' plot. The feelings that led to Anakin's final, fateful, decision. Bravo, Mr. Stover.

Lucas’ masterpiece. One of the most immersive books I’ve ever read. Paints the whole series in a new light. Poetic and powerful. If you’re a Star Wars fan you should read this book. This is the story George Lucas tried to tell

The best Star Wars adaptation. There is no way to describe how much better this novel is than the film. Seeing inside the characters minds and knowing their motivations, thoughts, etc. made this not only a good Star Wars novelization, not only a good Star Wars novel, but great literature. Each scene in the film is expanded and made better and more realistic. The best two moments of the film are getting into Dooku's head during the Battle of Coruscant and understanding the depth of what is occuring when Anakin and Padme are sensing each other across the skyscape at the moment of Anakin's fall to the dark side. The eloborateness of the plan that Dooku thought was about to be put into motion after the battle was very interesting to find out about, and depth of Sidious's betrayal of him was amazing. Being inside Anakin's head at the moment of his fall to the dark side was masterful. Stovers writing style throughout the book really makes it worthy of the word "masterpiece." Together with the prequel novel Labyrinth of Evil by James Luceno, you will never see the movie Revenge of the Sith the same again!

Masterpiece. This is by far one of if not the best novel I have ever read. It attaches you to the characters of the Star Wars universe far more than any book or movie has. The way it is written flows perfectly and makes you never want to put the book down. It makes you feel as a part of the story and made me love Star Wars even more than I thought I could. Matthew Stover knocks it out of the park.

Probably the best book I have ever read! A MUST READ!. I can't explain how wonderful this book is!!!! It is a very powerful book. If you like Star Wars defiantly read this! It is better than the movie. Palpatine's plot is in so much more depth. Anakin's love for Padme seems so much stronger. You learn every characters deep emotions. Dooku is more than just this evil dude. Obi Wan is this very peaceful thoughtful character, who surrounds himself with the force to drive away hate.....the quality of this book is just breathtaking! I can't say anything bad about it, except I didn't want it to end. I really felt emotions for each character who in the movie I just don't care about. Anakin is more than this jedi who turned evil and killed children, he was devoured by fear over time. It's very gradual and convincing. His relationships with all the characters are so strong. His feelings are very strong and he isn't whinny like he is in the movie. The theme of light and dark is absolutely gorgeous. How the Jedi channel the force is amazing. Palpatine just makes me wanna punch him more in this book. His evilness is just so sneaky and pure evil....ugh! But it's again strong and convincing. Obi Wan is my favorite character and his emotions and feelings in this book are very good. He is a spiritual, light hearted hero. Even when hate, fear, and grief are so strong he finds a way to connect into the force and become one with his surroundings. And he's so respectful to all living creatures. Obi wan and Anakin's relationship is so strong and tragic, and this book illustrates that beautifully. 5 out of 5! 10 out of 10! READ THIS BOOK! You won't regret it!

Wheel of galaxies; Spin of quarks. Does destiny control you, or do you control destiny? How much are you really in control of your life? How much are you really in control of the universe, of the future? Chaos theory prescribes that some, seemingly insignificant action can have tremendous repercussions far away in space and/or time. That some Tatooine slave could become the greatest Jedi, only to bring balance to the Force. "Luck is only a word used to describe how ignorant our understanding of the Force really is."

Amazing!. Honestly, this book is a must-buy for any star wars fan. Really brings out the true emotion and tragedy of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Matthew Stover is a phenomenal author, and I would even go so far as to say that this book is better then the Movie. Absolutely amazing. Buy it!
