Publisher's summary

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.

Critic reviews

"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)

One of the best star wars books!

This novelization was excellent! it added so much character depth to Anakin, Padme, Obi Wan, and Palpatine. It was a wholly enriched experience. Quite the masterpiece. I've read dozens of SW books and this will be on my short list of favorites. I'm frustrated I didn't read it sooner.

Better than the movie!

This details in this book make the movie so much more meaningful. I more fully understand the characters and their motivations. The new depth to Palpatine makes me almost side with his ideology, I know understand Anikans struggle.

You need to get this

So as a Star Wars universe fan and a Vaderphile you will learn A LOT that the films just do not give you. You will definitely understand a lot more about this universe, this particular story, more on some of the characters and absolutely more about Anakin/Vader and his choices

Amazing!!

Absolutely wonderful! I love this book just as much as I love the movie! I can’t recommend this book enough! If you want a deeper dive into the events of this movie and this movie is your favorite among the prequels and possibly the entire six movies then you’ll enjoy this book!

Unfortunately good!

10/10 must read for any star wars fan! This book gives insight into everything that the movie didn't have time to explain/go into detail about. I've watched the movie at least 20 times I'm sure, and this was SO amazing to listen to and added so much detail and feeling to what was already my favorite story of all time. Bravo to everyone involved 👏👏👏

I'm devastated

talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.
