Revenge of the Sith	comment	Continuing the tradition of pre-released Star Wars novelizations, Matt Stover, author of other Star Wars Legends books such as Shatterpoint and The New Jedi Order: Traitor, was commissioned to write the final book of the prequel films. Revenge of the Sith thus covers the events of Anakin's last days as a Jedi, but does more than merely recap them. Stover's book is often told in the present tense and three times from the second-person perspective and makes both the action and non-action events highly psychological.Unusually for a novelization, it frequently references other Legends works, such as the events of Labyrinth of Evil, Star Wars: Republic, Star Wars: Clone Wars, and Stover's own Shatterpoint. The book also introduces new subplots as part of actions seen in the film and restores deleted scenes. This, combined with Stover's rich writing and the book's insights into the characters and their motivations, means that many fans consider the book a superior work to the film; it's earned praise even from known detractors of the prequel trilogy. However, like the other novelizations of the Star Wars films, any material expanding upon the events of the film or contradicting the film is considered to be in the Alternate Continuity of Star Wars Legends following the Continuity Reboot of 2014.In addition to being the novelization of the third part of the Prequel Trilogy, Revenge of the Sith is also the center of the unofficial "Dark Lord" trilogy, continuing the story begun in Labyrinth of Evil and concluded in Dark Lordâ€”The Rise of Darth Vader, both by James Luceno. Together, the trilogy acts as the unofficial end to the original Clone Wars multimedia project that began following Attack of the Clones in 2002*much of which would be superseded canonically by the later The Clone Wars series and associated works, though none of the three novels are branded as such. This book is also in conversation with Stover's other Star Wars novels, particularly Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor, written later, which calls back to it in a number of significant ways.Not to be confused with the junior novelization of Revenge of the Sith (written by Patricia C. Wrede), although that is a good read in its own right.

Revenge of the Sith / int_1439161f	type	Heroic BSoD
Revenge of the Sith / int_1439161f	comment	Heroic BSoD: During the meeting with the Senators against Palpatine's increasing power grab, PadmÃ© asks if she could discuss the matter with a Jedi she trusts. She meant to be referring to Anakin, but to her surprise instead finds she's thinking of Obi-Wan. The realization that she doesn't trust her own husband with this confidential matter fills her with guilt, and she sits silently for the rest of the meeting, not objecting as the rest of the Senators reject the idea of bringing in any Jedi. Anakin has one that's much more intense than it is in the film when he reports to Mace Windu that Palpatine is actually Sidious. In the film, he's clearly upset and agitated but still functioning mostly as normal; in the book, however, he's on the verge of a total breakdown. Mace has one in the same scene, where it's revealed that Mace has an attachment, a secret love: he loves the Republic. Hearing that Chancellor Palpatine is a Sith Lord, Mace realizes that the Republic has already lost, already been destroyed, and he's been serving the very evil he thought he was fighting. Mace recovers rather quickly, however. Obi-Wan has to force himself out of one after reuniting with Bail and Yoda on the Tantive IV. He later has a low-key version when fighting Anakin on Mustafar. Obi-Wan has been very good, all through the book, of letting go of all his attachments, even to his own life, but realizes mid-duel that he has an attachment to Anakin that's hampering his performance. Obi-Wan does manage to let it go, as well, but it's something of a struggle. Yoda has one after his fight with Palpatine, realizing that his Jedi Order never had a chance against Palpatine's version of the Sith.

Revenge of the Sith / int_15b2cab3	comment	Tempting Fate: When Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Palpatine are caught in a ray shield, Anakin is confident that they can easily wipe out the inevitable security team that will show up to take them prisoner. This is followed by the appearance of four of "those skinny useless battle droids"—and eight destroyers, sixteen super battle droids, and two of Grievous's custom-designed, Jedi-killing MagnaGuards. In a much later scene, Obi-Wan tells PadmÃ© about how even though Anakin is probably The Chosen One, the prophecy doesn't require him to be a Jedi. He then says, "If his true path leads him away from the Jedi, so be it." He has no idea how far Anakin will stray from the Jedi path.

Revenge of the Sith / int_1c445e86	comment	Poor Communication Kills: Again, this is one of Mace's fatal mistakes and a major reason why Order 66 is so successful. After Anakin shares the truth about Sidious, Mace quickly briefs Yoda by Holo-Net and the remaining Council members on-site — but no one else. Mace similarly makes no move to warn any of the Jedi in the field or their allies in the Senate and Republic military just in case things go wrong. So when everything does go to hell, the Jedi in the field and the Temple are caught off guard by Order 66. They don't understand why senior Jedi tried to kill the Supreme Chancellor, or how this could justify a pogrom. And the people like Bail who know the truth can't do anything because they have no evidence (and the best people who could take out Palpatine are now all dead).

Revenge of the Sith / int_20f689e9	type	Adaptational Villainy
Revenge of the Sith / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: In the novelization it implied that as a slave Anakin was frequently beaten by Watto, and that anger comes out in his fight with Dooku. In the previous movies and other material, Watto was depicted as stern but surprisingly kind as far as slave owners go, especially compared to Anakin's former master Gardulla the Hutt who would be the kind of person to do what Watto is described as doing. Anakin was always on good terms with him, saying he had a prior owner who was violent towards him and his mother, and Watto even held off on selling Shmi until Cliegg Lars made a bid in order to free her. Dooku's ultimate ambition is revealed to be the creation of a human-centric Galactic Empire, and this is implied to be what Sidious got him on board with. This is likely a Call-Forward since that's exactly the sort of empire Sidious would go on to create, but nowhere else in the entire Star Wars mythos, Legends or Canon, hints that Dooku had any such prejudice or goal. In fact, his characterization here as a xenophobe flat-out contradicts previous aspects of his character, such as his former devotion to his master Yoda and the many non-human friendships and alliances he had as both a Jedi and a Sith Lord (including his Dark Acolytes, several of which were either Human Alien or downright non-human). Whether all of this was feigned or he became a racist only from some point onwards (likely when he fell to the Dark Side) is never clarified. Another small deviation is this book describes Dooku as a solipsist, while previous books at least depicted his idealism and relationship with Yoda as genuine, to a point.

Revenge of the Sith / int_21e5b9c7	comment	Failed a Spot Check: Palpatine owns a sculpture made of solid neuranium, a mineral so dense that most sensors cannot penetrate it. A more powerful gravimetric detector would have shown that one part of the sculpture has just a little less mass than it should, because it contains Sidious's Sith lightsaber. This is the fatal mistake Mace makes during his duel with Sidious. He's so focused on Palpatine's Shatterpoint (Anakin) that he never thinks to look for Anakin's (Padme). It ends up costing him his life and seals the fate of the Jedi Order.

After he wins, the narration explains how it was still a perfect trap since the bait and the killer—Grievous—was going to need disposing of soon anyway and the true purpose of this trap, the one that made the Jedi lose the moment he stepped in, was having him not be on Coruscant at a pivotal moment.

Revenge of the Sith / int_323fd510	comment	Everyone Is a Suspect: The Jedi hunt for Sidious ultimately doesn't benefit much from the discoveries of Labyrinth of Evil. Even without the Jurisdiction Friction with the Chancellorâ€™s Office, the intel the Jedi uncovered during Labyrinth — that Sidious is a bipedal humanoid and has easy accesss to 500 Republica and thus to Papatine â€“- doesnâ€™t significantly narrow down the field of suspects. There are still far too many possibilities, from aides to Vice-Chancellor Mas Amedda; Mace also wouldn't put it past Sidious to be hiding among Palpatine's Guards. The irony of course is that, by all that same deductive/evidentiary logic, Palpatine should also be considered a suspect, but theyâ€™ve written him off as Beneath Suspicion since he already all but rules the galaxy.

Revenge of the Sith / int_38d02d44	comment	Batman Gambit: Invoked in-universe when Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Mace meet to discuss the Palpatine situation and his impending constitutional authority to disband the Jedi Order. Yoda fiercely opposes Mace's proposal to move openly to depose Palpatine, arguing instead that they need to be cautious and should focus instead on gathering evidence to expose Sidious first. Yoda fears that moving openly and in haste is exactly what the Sith Lord's trying to get the Jedi to do: Launch a coup attempt that, even if justified, will turn the Senate and public against them and could ultimately destroy the Order. Subsequent events tragically vindicate all of Yoda's concerns. For the novelization, Stover reworks the Jedi's hunt for Grievous and Yoda's presence on Kashyyyk as one. By putting all their focus on Grievous, the Jedi hope Sidious will become desperate and move openly (since Palpatine had just publicly stated the Clone Wars wouldn't end as long as Grevious was alive). Yoda's departing Coruscant is to give the illusion the Jedi are short-staffed and to be bait for Sidious (Mace also proposes joining him, but Yoda points out both of them leaving at the same time would be a Contrived Coincidence and make Sidious suspicious). Finally, with Anakin as the Chancellor's liaison, they'll use him to feed all this misinformation to Palpatine (and which Sidious will then 'discover'). Of course, the flaw of this plan is that Jedi had no way of knowing that Palpatine was Sidious, or that his endgame might account for (and even require) the Jedi pulling this exact Batman Gambit...

Revenge of the Sith / int_55a28534	comment	Fearless Fool: Deconstructed and more when it comes to Anakin. The public reveres him as a fearless hero, specifically, "the Hero with No Fear," when Anakin himself is constantly battling his fear in everything he does. Not helping things is that the Jedi Order denounces the very notion of being afraid to lose that around him, never mind his loved ones. The Jedi don't teach him to move past his fear so much as they tell him that he shouldn't be afraid at all which for Anakin is practically impossible. For the Jedi, being fearless isn't seen as any different than being courageous because the Jedi do not regard having attachments as an acceptable behavior. Palpatine, for all his evil, allows Anakin to recognize his emotions instead of denying them which suggests to Anakin that living without fear is unreasonable. Then, when Palpatine finally manipulates Anakin into joining the Dark Side the newly born Vader attempts to finally become "The Hero With No Fear" and it leads to pretty horrific results. Even then, Vader cannot help but start feeling fear later on when the threat of losing his wife hasn't gone away, until Obi-Wan arrives and his anger boils over. This culminates in this trope being reconstructed when the arrogant Vader was overconfident when fighting Obi-Wan. As Vader is ultimately defeated and forced to live in a cybernetic suit he is forced to surrender to fear and become Palpatine's enforcer as he has nothing else left, bringing this trope full circle.

For the most part, Stover is just having a ball describing every minutiae of the fight scenes (especially the Anakin and Obi-Wan vs. Dooku duel). This also has the effect of making said scenes longer than in the film. However, it's later downplayed for the climax of Obi-Wan's duel with Grievous (which ends differently to the film in that Obi-Wan rather abruptly destroys the lightsabers themselves rather than cutting off two hands and then disarming him with the Force), the duel between Yoda and Sidious (which is effectively mutated into an excellent philosophical debate), and the duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin - but since that duel was already so long to begin with, it's less noticeable.

Revenge of the Sith / int_736d791f	comment	Adaptational Badass: Minor example with Kit Fisto. In the movie, Kit Fisto blocks three strikes before going down in seconds, before Anakin even flies off. Here, he's still alive when Anakin lands the speeder and dies between when Anakin lands and when he arrives. Palpatine himself is presented as being far more formidable than in the film. His duel with Mace gets far more description, with Mace's dialogue indicating a draw would have been the best he could have hoped for if he weren't unconsciously drawing on the fear of the newly-arrived Anakin. Also, in stark contrast to trying to flee in the movie, he's openly delighted he gets to kill Yoda himself when the Grand Master arrives - here, the duel also ends in outright victory for Sidious when one of his lightning blasts knocks Yoda into the depths of the Senate, rather than losing control of it as in the movie. Palpatineâ€™s use of mind games in combat is also played up in the novel, which depicts him as using psychological tricks to take down 2 of the 4 Jedi Masters who tried to arrest him. Palpatine ignites his lightsaber at the same time as the Jedi, but he keeps it hidden behind his desk so the Jedi donâ€™t even know he has it. He then presents himself as a tired old man helplessly screaming at the â€œJedi traitorsâ€� while shaking an empty fist at them. He then asks Saesee Tiin, one of the two Jedi who are right in front of his desk, to read his mind. When Tiin relaxes to do so, Palpatineâ€™s lightsaber comes â€œhurtlingâ€� from behind his desk and beheads Tiin whose â€œhead bounced when it hit the floorâ€�, before stabbing Agen Kolar in the forehead.

Obi-Wan asks him when he got it fitted with pain sensors, but he replies that he didn't. Obi-Wan tells him that the pain is in his mind, but Anakin is convinced that it's a sign that Count Dooku / Darth Tyranus, the man who cut off his real arm, is aboard the vessel. Whether or not he's right, Dooku is aboard.

Revenge of the Sith / int_928ca2cc	comment	You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Granted, this has already been established by canon and EU sources as SOP for the Sith, but the narration here makes this explicitly how Sidious regards both Dooku and Grievous. It's why he (as Palpatine) orders Anakin to execute Dooku on the Invisible Hand, and why he sends Grievous to fight Obi-Wan — as effective as Grievous is as a general and a Jedi killer, he's still an expendable pawn, so if Obi-Wan kills him in their duel, that's one less pawn for Sidious to deal with. Of course, this also applies to Dooku's post-war plans re his Separatist allies. In each case, the same rationale is given: "Treachery is the way of the Sith."

He's also surprised when Mace Windu—the man who invented his own form of lightsaber combat—calls him "the master of the classic form. [...] Not a master. The master." Anakin, however, is a subversion, in that he does his best to act, think and feel as a Humble Hero, but is still burning with the ambition and entitlement inside—all ripe for manipulation by Palpatine.

Revenge of the Sith / int_ab5eea65	comment	Dramatic Irony: So, so much involving the fact that Palpatine is actually Darth Sidious, and neither the heroes nor most of Sidious' lackeys have any idea. As Anakin and Obi-Wan were fighting their way to Dooku, the Count mused that his master was unbeatable because no one could defeat an enemy one thinks is a friend, completely unaware of Sidious' plan to use him as a sacrificial pawn to convert Anakin. When Anakin and Obi-Wan fight Dooku, Anakin mentions that they found out information about Sidious and that he'll be soon caught by the Jedi. Dooku says "Really?", and is "terribly, terribly tempted to wink at Palpatinenote Darth Sidious himself!, but of course that would never do." When the duel goes against him, Dooku decides to just kill Anakin and Obi-Wan, reasoning that "Sidious could come up with a new plan better than he could a new apprentice." What Dooku doesn't realize yet is that Sidious's plan has always been about replacing Dooku as his apprentice. When Grievous is forced to abandon the Invisible Hand after it sustains critical damage, he reflects that Sidious will not be happy that he abandoned Chancellor Palpatine to death after going through so much effort to capture him, but also feels that the Sith Lord would surely understand the circumstances and forgive him. He is, naturally, completely unaware that Sidious and Palpatine are the same person. Mace tells Obi-Wan that it's been hard to convince Palpatine that a Sith may be among his advisors, because Palpatine may not even believe the Sith exist. Also, while discussing all the possible suspects for being Sidious, he rules out Palpatine himself, reasoning that he already rules the galaxy. He doesn't quite comprehend that Palpatine wants absolute power. Later, Anakin and Palpatine are speaking about the Council's hunt for Darth Sidious. Palpatine argues that even if Sidious is real, he might well not be as evil as the Jedi make him out to be. When Anakin has a Dude, Not Funny! moment (see below), Palpatine agrees that he's right with this comment. And for another one involving Palpatine: Anakin considers a list of Senators who may be conspiring against Palpatine and notes how several of them are considered incorruptible. He then entertains a thought about them that would actually apply to Palpatine: When Anakin thinks about his vision, he muses that there were cases when attempts to prevent catastrophes mentioned in prophesies did cause them and he can actually be the cause of Padme's death by trying to prevent it, only to conclude it's impossible. When Anakin fights Dooku, he's expecting his dark side aura to manifest heat. Dooku's Aura Vision has him compare Anakin's inner darkness to a thermonuclear furnace.

He makes such poor decisions because he's suffering from Exhaustion-Induced Idiocy, physically not in the right state of mind to make more well-informed decisions. And as for Anakin's paranoid belief that Obi-Wan turned PadmÃ© against him: Stover includes lines of dialogue in which Palpatine insinuates that the two of them are having an affair; when Anakin stops by the apartment shortly thereafter, he senses Force-echoes of them sitting on the couch together, seemingly too close for a casual chat. Once PadmÃ© shows up on Mustafar with Obi-Wan having tagged along, Anakin puts two and two together in the worst possible way, not accepting that Obi-Wan stowed away without PadmÃ©'s knowledge. More detail is given into why Yoda decides to separate Luke and Leia. Not only does this make them harder to find, but Yoda specifically does not want them trained from birth, having concluded from his defeat by Sidious and communion with Qui-Gon's spirit that the old Jedi way was flawed. Additionally, Threepio is more open about wanting to tell Leia all about her parents, prompting Bail's order to have his memory wiped.

Yoda counters that they need to move carefully and focus on finding Sidious first. Yoda is (rightly) worried that moving in haste is exactly what Sidious is trying to get them to do and that the PR backlash might end up destroying them anyway. Obi-Wan convinces them to Take a Third Option: focus all their efforts on Grievous, which would (hopefully) draw Sidious out of hiding so that the Jedi can catch him and finally end the war.

After he wins, the narration explains how it was still a perfect trap since the bait and the killer—Grievous—was going to need disposing of soon anyway and the true purpose of this trap, the one that made the Jedi lose the moment he stepped in, was having him not be on Coruscant at a pivotal moment. Later, in a Meaningful Echo, the Clone Wars themselves are described as "the perfect Jedi trap" because war itself has been used to darken the Force and weaken the Jedi, but because they are Jedi, they can't not fight in defense of the Republic—a Republic that has already fallen into their enemy's hands, though they know it not. "By fighting at all, the Jedi lost."

As seen throughout the entire Clone Wars multimedia campaign, relations between the Jedi Council and the Chancellor's Office have become increasingly strained over the course of the conflict. Despite everything at stake, these cracks have finally reached the breaking point here (and especially in the wake of the revelations of Labyrinth of Evil). Neither party trusts the other anymore and things have deterioriated enough that the senior Jedi are now openly discussing forcibly removing Palpatine from power. This breakdown of relations, of course, is all part of Palpatine's long game. He wants the Jedi to move against him (especially after they learn he's Darth Sidious), frame them for an attempted coup (no matter that it's completley justified), and use that as his legal and political justification for Order 66.

By putting all their focus on Grievous, the Jedi hope Sidious will become desperate and move openly (since Palpatine had just publicly stated the Clone Wars wouldn't end as long as Grevious was alive). Yoda's departing Coruscant is to give the illusion the Jedi are short-staffed and to be bait for Sidious (Mace also proposes joining him, but Yoda points out both of them leaving at the same time would be a Contrived Coincidence and make Sidious suspicious). Finally, with Anakin as the Chancellor's liaison, they'll use him to feed all this misinformation to Palpatine (and which Sidious will then 'discover'). Of course, the flaw of this plan is that Jedi had no way of knowing that Palpatine was Sidious, or that his endgame might account for (and even require) the Jedi pulling this exact Batman Gambit...

Revenge of the Sith / int_de10dda2	comment	Caught on Tape: When the Jedi come to "arrest" him, Chancellor Palpatine/Darth Sidious activates a recording and puts on a dumb show, just enough to make a great performance for playback at the first Empire Day before the Imperial Senate. Then he smiles, winks, and lightsabers the device to the point that it can no longer keep recording, declaring "That's enough of that."

Revenge of the Sith / int_df582b0b	type	Continuity Snarl
Revenge of the Sith / int_df582b0b	comment	Continuity Snarl: A few minor details, but surprising considering how much the novel references other EU books. In one scene, Palpatine attempts to sow doubt about Darth Sidous' existence in Anakin, suggesting there is no evidence of his existence and he could be a fabrication, and Anakin doesn't bother to bring up the holographic recording he and Obi-Wan found of Sidous in the preceding book, Labyrinth of Evil. The opening chapters of the book also suggest that the Republic is losing the war when the previous book suggested the exact opposite.

Revenge of the Sith / int_e16cd24e	comment	Know When to Fold 'Em: The narration goes into depth about why Yoda chose to retreat from his duel with Palpatine, as it has the Grand Master having a epiphany about how stagnant the Jedi have become while the Sith have evolved and grew stronger since the New Sith Wars and the Russan Reformation. Yoda believes that because of this, he never had a chance of winning to begin with.

Revenge of the Sith / int_e3109dae	comment	Switching P.O.V.: Especially during the opening battle, switching between the viewpoints of Anakin and Obi-Wan. Used for dramatic effect during the last third of the book. After Anakin is "knighted" as a Sith Lord, every scene from his POV refers to him as "Darth Vader", but those from Obi-Wan or PadmÃ©'s POV still call him "Anakin".

Revenge of the Sith / int_e3c36782	comment	Call-Forward: In the opening battle, Anakin and Obi-Wan lead the tri-fighters pursuing them through a trench in a larger enemy ship. Anakin's call sign for the space battle is also Red Five according to Odd Ball, the same as Luke's will be during the Battle of Yavin. Captain Needa appears as a mere lieutenant commander during the battle of Coruscant, trying to parley with General Grievous. It predictably fails. In a harsher way, he also provides information for the rescue team sent to retrieve Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Palpatine from the wreckage of their ship, thus helping the man who will kill him twenty years later. Obi-Wan, facing possible defeat at the hands of General Grievous, reflects that he always expected Anakin would be with him when he died. Bail Organa protests to PadmÃ© that her idea of a rebellion could take twenty years. He's not far off; A New Hope takes place nineteen years later. A subtle one: Yoda muses that the Jedi cannot hope to defeat the Sith as they are now in open combat. As it turns out, when Palpatine is defeated, it will be through The Power of Love instead.

Revenge of the Sith / int_eba4e300	comment	Honorary Uncle: A variation of sorts. Obi-Wan uses this trope to describe Palpatine's longtime friendship with Anakin; he outright compares Palpatine to a kindly old uncle doting on his favorite nephew. Of course, this is also exactly why the Council's always been uncomfortable with Palpatine's relationship with Anakin (and they couldn't exactly do much about it given Palpatine is Chancellor).

But while the Temple is placed on high alert and goes into lockdown, the rest of the Order is left in the dark about why (and the Order's allies are similarly left out of the loop). This backfires, leaving the Temple Jedi uninformed and ill-prepared when Mace's confrontation fails and Order 66 begins.

Revenge of the Sith / int_f62cc38a	comment	Stone Wall: Discussed when Obi-Wan is commanded to kill General Grievous. Kenobi feels that his 90% defense Soresu lightsaber style is not as powerful as Mace Windu's Vaapad or Yoda's Ataru, but Windu explains it's the opposite. Both Windu and Yoda's techniques are to compensate for their weaknesses (Windu's internal darkness and Yoda's age and lack of height) while Soresu, as defense-focused as it is, just suits Obi-Wan's personality and has no real weakness. Sure enough, when Kenobi duels Grevious, the cyborg gets frustrated at how Obi-Wan is countering every single one of his moves and starts getting more aggressive... and consequently more sloppy, letting Obi-Wan slice off two of his hands.

The headstrong Anakin uses the powerful Djem So; the aristocratic Dooku favors the elegant Makashi; the peaceful Obi-Wan has mastered the defensive Soresu; tiny Yoda uses Ataru gymnastics against larger foes (which for him is almost everyone); uber-badass Mace Windu is the only master of the dangerous Vaapad, which taps into one's inner darkness without the user going over the edge (hopefully).
