Book Reviews of Star Wars, Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
Book Review: Lucas should hire Stover ...
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a big Scifi fan, and the final Star Wars trilogy left me feeling empty and hollow. The movies simply did not do the characters justice.
I recently had to take a road trip, and all I could find was this audio book in my son's room. I remember enjoying Stover's "Shatterpoint," so I put it in the car stereo and, being uncertain what Matt Stover could do with Lucas' lackluster final episode, hoped for the best.
I was entranced.
Stover has a wonderful grasp on Lucas' universe. Stover also seems to have terrific insights into human nature. As a mental health professional, I've seen evil on a few occasions, and Mr. Stover's description of the Sith Lord's evil is spot on. Palpatine's self-serving twisting and turnings ... both in word and deed ... would make any psychopath proud.
This novel fills in so much of the back story behind the final movie that I want to go and re-watch it now.
If George Lucas ever does another Star Wars movie, he should hire Matthew Stover to write the screenplay and the novel.
Great job, Matthew!
