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

"Stover fills in the blanks regarding one of cinema's most fascinating villains with respect and relish, providing answers to such questions as why Vader looked so weird and how he became Luke's dad. This is the perfect companion to the blockbuster film." (Publishers Weekly)

more context in this audiobook than in the theatrical release that makes the actions more meaningful

I did not like how naive Anakin was, and knowing that I've heard padme was initially going to kill or at least attempt to kill Darth Vader - and he was going to let her, I'm disappointed they took that out - there was some interesting through lines, like brother versus brother. there were a few more phrases that were repeated a couple of times - the fight descriptions were actually pretty easy to follow, and interestingly, palpatine only contacted Commander Cody - and his order (66) was disseminated through the ranks. none of the order 66 scene that was in the movie is in this except for parts of the Temple and obi wan's assassination attempt. I felt that times the characters could have said things that would clarify things a lot more and have avoided a lot of confusion, but I guess that's too much to expect. the way that no one knew it was palpatine felt contrived even in this one, again I don't understand how Anakin could be so naive - and the fact that he jumped to every conclusion that sidious put in his head went from feeling tragic to annoying. this guy has rocks for brains.

Good listen

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. While it didn't follow true to the movie, it provided nice insights into how the characters were feeling and thinking throughout. The narration was good and the sound effects appropriate. Recommend.

Great book

Loved this book of revenge of the sith, great scoring and dialouge. It's a great.

Finished for the 20th Anniversary

this adaptation skipped over A LOT of the film's important events. Too many. It doesn't even confirm if Padme died or not. You'd have to see the mobpvie to know better for this and other questions.

Abrigded ?

The book itself the story the the guy who reads it. We're all top notch. My only concern is that the book is abridged ? I wish I had seen that before I bought and listened to it. Why on Earth someone would ever want an abridged book is beyond me.

abridged!

I love reading this book! Did not realize I bought the abridge audiobook. Leaves alot of the most important details out. So I get to spend another credit for full version.
