arf88 's review for:
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
by Matthew Woodring Stover
This probably the best Star Wars book ever written, but more than that, it's just a damn good book period. If Lucas's film was anything like this, it would have been up for an Oscar.
The only places the book suffers, are the area's where Stover can't escape Lucas's storytelling. Why are the Jedi and Anakin so stupid and blind when it came to Palpatine? He couldn't have been more obvious if he'd gone around with a bell on. And I refuse to believe that the Jedi's stupid and unrealistic "let it go" in response to all grief hasn't fucked them over in the past. Stover removes most of the terrible dialogue, but he does include Obi-Wan's hypercritical "Jedi don't deal in absolutes", which made as much sense here as it did in the film. Stover also includes Obi-Wan's rant to Anakin once he's been defeated, but it doesn't quite mesh with the calm Stover described Obi-Was as feeling.
But seriously, if you're a Star Wars fan you should read this book. If you're a sci-fantasy fan you only has a passing knowledge of Star Wars you should read this book. This is an amazing book.
