I was never quite as thrilled with the movie as I felt I should have been. Matthew Stover captures the true depth of character and plotting that is in the story but barely touched upon in the motion picture. Every Stover Star Wars novel has given me little epiphanies, and this one has turn my opinion of which of the prequels I prefer most.

Du point de vu des romans de Star Wars, celui-ci se passe immédiatement après Labyrinth of Evil et débute avec la Bataille de Coruscent. La planète est sous l'attaque du Général Grievious. Après cette bataille, Anakin commence à avoir des visions de la mort de Padmé, sa femme. Anakin sera prêt à tout faire pour la sauver, même passer au Côté Obscur de la force et trahir ses amis.

Dans ce livre, on est plus conscient de la ligne de temps que dans le film. Dans le film, on dirait que tout se passe en trois jours. Dans le livre, on apprend que Skywalker passe au moins une semaine sans sommeil, ce qui commence à l'affecter psychologiquement. Juste ce point donne un gros avantage au roman par rapport au film.

Je dois avouer que l'histoire cadre mieux avec les films originaux. On peut se passe des Épisodes 1 et 2 mais pas du trois. Au moins, avec le livre, on a pas à subir le mauvais jeu de certains acteurs!

I love that Anakin becomes a stand up comedian after joining the Sith. He was like, “my problems are solved and I can just make jokes all the time now.” 

Love, loved this book. I do have nostalgia for the story, but this book elevated it to a new level. I understand everyone’s motivations more clearly, and it’s so painful to watch Anakin fall to darkness. 

RIP to my girl, Padme. You’re too good for Ani and I wish either: 1) you didn’t die, or 2) you haunted the narrative more. I just want her to have more action bc she’s a badass 😭😭😭
