Well, I just got through reading Revenge of the Sith and I will give my review. First of all let me state that this might contain some spoilers, so be warned. It starts off just like a classic Star Wars movie with a crawl and then a space battle. However, it seemed kind of like a pointless battle that somehow ends up having a point. It was all by chance that they happened upon the bad guy, most of it was just luck. The dialog was good and I did like how the book told of what ObiWan was thinking. I don't know if the movie will show that. It reminded me a lot of The Phantom Menace when they were flying in Corescant - it had the same kind of feel to it. This book was all about Anakin. That is the one thing that makes it different from all of the Star Wars movies. All the others had sub-plots going. Like the Original with Luke and Han having different missions and Empire with Han being frozen and Luke learning and then finding out Vader is his father. Return of the Jedi had rescuing Han, Ewoks and Leia, and Luke fighting Vader. It had the most sub-plots. The newest trilogy also had in Phantom Menace, Qui Gonn and Obi-wan's relationship, Anakin saving the day and Darth Maul becoming powerful. AOTC had Anakin falling in love, Yoda fighting Dooku and the Clones are introduced. Revenge of the Sith has Anakin loving, Anakin hating and Anakin fighting ObiWan and practically dying. It is also about the other Jedi dying and Padme dying, but most of it dealt with Anakin. There were some cameos, but really this whole movie is Anakin's show. It is really a sad movie and I actually did feel sorry for Anakin during the reading. He was torn in many directions and was basically manipulated into the dark side. It was very good and tied everything from TPM and AOTC together. I finally got to understand why everything happened the way it did. Like how the trade federation and the senate were led by the same person. It never made any sense in the first two movies why Palpatine would do such a thing. Now it does. All in all I'd give it 5 out 5 stars. It is not as typical as I would think. It did lack humor, which all of the other movies had, but I guess a tragedy doesn't need humor. The depth was deep into Anakins psyche. I was mesmerized by everything that happened to him. I can't wait for the movie now. It is going to ROCK! There is one thing that may be of controversy in some fundamentalist sects. The emperor says the Dark Side has the secret to eternal life and uses it to sway Anakin to the Dark side. If you think about it Anakin is the "Chosen One" who desires the ability to stop death and uses evil to try to get to it. Anakin is almost an anti-Christ in the trilogy. I can see right-wing groups up in arms about this. So be forewarned. Personally I think it was added to make controversy to get press. It still is just a movie for Pete's sake.
