desertcart.com: Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (Audible Audio Edition): Matthew Stover, Jonathan Davis, Random House Audio: Books

Review: The Definitive Version of the Story — A Must-Read for Any Star Wars Fan - Matthew Stover’s Revenge of the Sith novelization isn’t just a retelling of the movie — it’s the most emotionally rich and thematically powerful version of the story. If you’ve only experienced Episode III through the film, this book will completely reframe how you see it. The writing dives deep into the inner lives of the characters — especially Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Palpatine. Every decision, hesitation, and betrayal feels more grounded, more human, and ultimately more tragic. The fall of Anakin Skywalker becomes not just inevitable, but painfully understandable. Stover gives weight to the tragedy in a way the film couldn’t — you feel every loss, every manipulation, every failure to connect. His prose is also a standout: it’s poetic, psychological, and intense, with moments where the narration breaks the fourth wall in bold, mythic fashion. It doesn’t just tell you what’s happening — it invites you into the Force, into fear, into heroism, and into heartbreak. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or someone just curious about the deeper layers of Star Wars storytelling, this book is essential reading. It elevates the prequels, enriches the characters, and adds nuance that’s hard to forget. One of the best pieces of Star Wars fiction ever written — I absolutely loved it.
Review: Not Without Flaws--But Very, Very Good - This is one of the best Star Wars novels out there--and for how hit-or-miss the EU can be (yes, "can"--I refuse to call it "Legends" and consider it "dead"), there are some really good books within it by which to make such a comparison. Stover adds layers and shading to the story of Revenge of the Sith, expanding on characters' emotions and motives where the film did not--likely due to time constraints. His writing might not be everyone's cup of tea: some have called it "flowery"; I'd call it "lyrical" or "poetic". He has a flair for similes and metaphors and weaves something almost like a horror story while utilizing grandiose descriptions and phrases that are syntactically pleasing. He prodigiously uses third-person omniscient perspective, delving into pretty much everyone's head at one point or another, to greater or lesser success. The book isn't without flaws. He does reference the EU quite a bit, which might be difficult if one hasn't delved too deeply into it or doesn't care for it. Occasionally his descriptions of lightsabers are unappealing at best--"a bar of light," for example. His attempts at humor or extraneous details are at times ill-placed: Example 1: Obi-Wan's coming 'round while rescuing Palpatine; being slung across Anakin's shoulders, he wakes up to a view of Anakin's rear and slowly realizes what he's looking at. This is different from the film, and seemed an unnecessary change--if only because it takes place during an otherwise tense "action sequence". Even as an attempt at humor, I think it would have felt out-of-place almost anywhere. Example 2: Anakin senses that Obi-Wan's been in Padme's apartment, and also smells that some kind of broth or tea has been served. Stover takes this moment to add that Obi-Wan's severely allergic to said broth / tea and that his finding this out the hard way almost caused a diplomatic incident. The issue with this scene is that Stover, at the same time, is trying to flesh out what's implied in the movie--that Anakin (in his hyper-possessive / paranoid state) suspects his wife is having an affair with his former Master. As with the "butt" scene, this jars the reader out of the emotional suspense that the preceding paragraphs have built. This having been said, these details aren't always amiss; some do indeed add to the story--or tug at the heart. Mace Windu's explaining to Obi-Wan why he's the perfect choice to fight Grievous, or Obi-Wan's having an inward-spiraling breakdown when he realizes that Anakin's gone to the Dark Side (going so far as to wish he'd died on Naboo with his Master, Qui-Gon)--before Yoda snaps him out of it. As for Anakin's inner "dragon", I simply took it to mean "Krayt dragon"--or something similar. It's an overused metaphor, which does grate on the nerves, but . . . at least Stover's trying to illustrate the idea that there are two parts to Anakin--and one of them is something he's not sure he can control (and, indeed, over which he does lose control as the novel progresses). These details may or may not resonate with readers; for myself, I found them immensely impactful. One further point of critique is that the book ends too quickly. If you thought the ending to the film was rushed, the book is worse. I wanted Obi-Wan's reaction to hearing about Qui-Gon's "return"--especially since Stover had hitherto done an excellent job of basically doing a psychological study of his character. I wanted a little more world-building when it came to getting everyone set up for A New Hope. But these matters are concluded in a series of short paragraphs, no more . . . and given how much lovingly painstaking detail went into the rest of the book, I felt a little bit let down. It almost felt as if the publishers said to Stover, "You must end the book within X number of words" . . . and he didn't save enough to do the end justice. But all-in-all--this is one of my favorite Star Wars novels, despite its flaws. I think said flaws are at times miscues on the author's part, and at times simply a matter of reader's preference in terms of writing style, etc. Of course the book won't be exactly like the movie, no more than a film adaptation can be exactly like the book. But in my mind, Stover did a pretty darn good job.
