soptta 's review for:
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
by Matthew Woodring Stover
i have no idea what came over me that i finished this in one day. i thought it would take me two.
currently watching obi-wan as it premiers on disney+, and i just needed more obi-wan and anakin content. their relationship is so tragic, they loved each other so much. i want more of them. so picked this up. (just to clarify, i DO NOT ship them romantically, their friendship is just so good).
it was just as sad as i thought it would be.
i will get my one negative of this book out of the way: i wanted more of the duel on mustafar. the ending in general i felt was pretty rushed, but i was disappointed that we didn’t get too much of their inner conflict/emotions during this pivotal moment in their history. other moments of the movie got more context, but mustafar not as much. i just wanted more EMOTION from the mustafar dual but it went by pretty quickly.
but boy oh boy were there some depressing scenes in this book. first of all, obi-wan’s quote of always believing that anakin would be with him when he dies. like why would you write that.
just. through the book you can tell that they love each other, but there’s just too much in their way for them to just…talk about their emotions!! more so on anakin’s part than obi-wan’s, but both of them still have trouble with expressing themselves. just bros being dudes.
i really appreciated the depiction of anakin’s mental state through this. i felt so bad for him. the combination of his love for padme, his love of obi-wan, the fear of padme dying, the stubbornness of the jedi council, PALPATINE’S MANIPULATION all led to his fall to the dark side. just. if the jedi council would have just LISTENED TO obi-wan, maybe this whole situation could have been avoided. the jedi council was too uncompromising, palpatine was a little too good at what he does, and anakin was just too vulnerable. im not trying to take away from the fact that at the end of the day, it was anakin who chose to fall to the dark side. but, without palpatine, this wouldnt have happen. i feel so bad for anakin. i love him.
in another universe he doesn’t fall and he and padme raise leia and luke with the help of uncle obi wan and ahsoka.
