Star Wars Episode III

Revenge of the Sith

De: Matthew Stover

Narrado por: Jonathan Davis

The turning point for the entire Star Wars saga is at hand.

After years of civil war, the Separatists have battered the already faltering Republic nearly to the point of collapse. On Coruscant, the Senate watches anxiously as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine aggressively strips away more and more constitutional liberties in the name of safeguarding the Republic. Yoda, Mace Windu, and their fellow Masters grapple with the Chancellor's disturbing move to assume control of the Jedi Council. And Anakin Skywalker, the prophesied Chosen One, destined to bring balance to the Force, is increasingly consumed by his fear that his secret love, Senator Padme Amidala, will die.

As the combat escalates across the galaxy, the stage is set for an explosive endgame: Obi-Wan undertakes a perilous mission to destroy the dreaded Separatist military leader General Grievous. Palpatine, eager to secure even greater control, subtly influences public opinion to turn against the Jedi. And a conflicted Anakin, tormented by unspeakable visions, edges dangerously closer to the brink of a galaxy-shaping decision. It remains only for Darth Sidious, whose shadow looms ever larger, to strike the final staggering blow against the Republic, and to ordain a fearsome new Sith Lord: Darth Vader.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The perfect companion to the blockbuster film." (Publishers Weekly)

Incredible!

I love the movie but the book is much much better. You get more scenes, dialogue and information that just makes the story absolutely brilliant! In the movie, Anakin's turn to the dark side seems a little rushed. Not so in the book.
If you like Star Wars you need to read this.

Great book for Star Wars fans!

I'm a huge Star Wars fan, and I have seen all 6 movies several times. I was looking into Star Wars books telling stories not told in the movies, but except for a couple of them, all Star Wars books available as audiobooks are abridged versions. I know you lose lots of the details in these versions, so out of curiosity I bought this one, even though I had already seen the movie. I was very surprised with the quality of the narration, and the quality of the story as well. The book adds lots of insights and details that would've been impossible to include in a 2 hr movie. Special effects are good, but nowhere excessive, and actually help in visualizing the story. Overall, I'm very happy I bought it!

Perfect book adaptation & performance, 12/10

A must read/listen for anyone who thought Anakin's fall to the dark side was a little too abrupt after watching the movies. Outstanding voice acting, especially for Obi-Wan and Anakin. Brought an unconscious smile to my face every time they bantered in the first half of the book. Also cemented Obi-Wan as my favorite character in the saga (he already was, but now somehow even more so)
