Really shows how prose can enhance an already decent story to the next level. All the additional elements and character insights this book gives makes this the definitive telling.

Better than the movie - although in fairness it was written as a complement to the movie (and does so brilliantly).
If you watched the movie, you have to read this book. If you didn't, but are at all interested in the Star Wards universe, read this book anyway. It's that good.

Have you ever heard of the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise
2nd read: “This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker. Forever.” Why don’t you just rip my heart out of my chest, it would hurt less.

This is a great adaptation. Because we're able to go into more depth then the film could we understand Anakins phyche so much more. We see the deaths of his despair along with the length to which he truly falls.
Its ultimately Anakins story and I think it characterised him really well. It also pairs really well with labyrinth of despair, the two feel like they follow on from each other naturally.
It's also beautifully written and very quotable because of that.

This book did an admirable job of smoothing out the clunky dialogue and plot of the movie. I liked this story a lot better than the movie, which I used to think was one of the top 3 Star Wars movies.
I read this because I was super ill and needed something comforting so fell back into Star Wars, and for 20 years, whenever that urge to fall back into this shit arises, I've heard how amazing this book is. What it is is really about what it isn't, which is to say almost all of the dreadful dialogue from the film has been excised. This is a good thing, and at no point does anyone say 'from my point of view the jedi are evil'. However, this book is the most absurdly overwritten thing I think I've ever read, the author never afraid to write a paragraph where two words would suffice. It's also tonally all over the place, at times reading like some liturgical tome and at times like an unfunny Douglas Adams knock-off. Also, there are bits like this: 'Dont think I've forgotten the Blargs on Panto Prime
Master, that was hardly my fault that the jinto stick got stuck in the bantha baths!' so it's definitely not entirely free of Lucas-esque bullshit.
It's definitely better than the film and a kind of fascinating read, really. I would love to know how much of a script the author was working from. And there is a guy called Archduke Poggle in it, so no matter how much Disney try to kill my love for this nonsense I will always come crawling back.
