Pingonaut Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 So I've gotten pretty far into the "Star Wars" book (which is a big book form of episodes 4-6) and I think there is a book for the new trilogy too, has anyone seen it/read it? Is it any good? If I enjoy this book will I enjoy that one? Also thinking of starting the Jedi Apprentice series. How's that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each prequel had a novelization put out around the same time it came out in theaters, but I don't think there's a single omnibus or collection of all three currently available, so you'd have to pick them up individually. I have heard that the Revenge of the Sith novel is particularly good - especially in making Anakin's final fall to the Dark Side seem less... abrupt. I haven't read it personally, but its author, Matthew Stover, wrote one of my all time favorite SW novels, Traitor, so I tend to believe the praise I've heard.

I'm reading a single book with episode 4, 5 and 6 included right now, so I'm sure the new trilogy is included in a single book as well. I'm glad to hear the downfall is less sudden, too.

ROTS's novel is one of the best out of the 6 imo. It has sections of narrative told from Anakin's perspective which help make sense of some of the rash manoeuvres he performs in the movie.

Yes I have it Litterally called The prequel Trilogy it contains all three. According to the back usual Retail price at the time was 19.95 USD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Revenge of the SIth novel I've heard all the praise for is the one written by Matthew Stover, but I know there was a "Junior Novelization" written by Patricia Wrede that was collected with her Ep. I and Ep. II books. Those may not be as good as the full-length novelizations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvatore Revenge of the Sith Matthew Stover Cover design by David Stevenson. Right on the title Page. The Book is published by Del Rey Books. It even has the Poem at the end Totals 993 pages long. "The dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins-----but in the hear of its strength lies weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back. Love is more then a candle. Love can ignite the stars." Edited January 12, 2014 by tunewalker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
