OH HELL YES!

Thank you so much!!!

Simply Awesome

Holy fuck...

Just got done reading. These are amazing. Just as predicted, Stover did an amazing job with this novel.

Those pages are fantastic I was not going to bother with the novel, just the Art of ROTS, but now I think i'll defintely be buying this.


Its a lot better than I thought is was going to be that last chapter is emotional.

That was beautiful.....

Call me a geek... nay, I'll call me a geek... but I almost had a tear in my eye reading those first two pages...

Edited to combine all the text into a single post.

yeah i gotta admit that was some pretty moving stuff for a star wars book. reading those pages the graphic novels pictures dont do it justice.

Edited to combine all the text into a single post.

The last three pages of the novel, the ones about Anakin's tortured mind and soul made me bawl my eyes out. I couldn't stop crying, which surprised me quite a bit. Excellent stuff. This novel seems to be very well written. Unfortunately this exact scen can't really be in the film since its anakin's thoughts. Even though there's the force tantrum I wonder if the audience will understand the pain as it is so beautifully described here.

superboan, I tink we can leave that to John Williams.

Indeed!

Incredibly powerful stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Call me a softy, but I had a lump in my throat through much of it. That description of Vader's mental and physical anguish, and his slowly wakening knowledge of what he had done and what his fate was, brought tears to my eyes.

I typed up the Vader stuff.




This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker, forever:
The first dawn of light in your universe brings pain.
The light burns you. It will always burn you. Part of you will
always lie upon black glass sand beside a lake of fire while flames
chew upon your flesh.

You can hear yourself breathing. It comes hard, and harsh,
and it scrapes nerves already raw, but you cannot stop it. You can
never stop it. You cannot even slow it down.

You don’t even have lungs anymore.
Mechanisms hardwired into your chest breathe for you. They
will pump oxygen into your bloodstream forever.

Lord Vader? Lord Vader, can you hear me?

And you can’t, not in the way you once did. Sensors in the
shell that prisons your head trickle meaning directly into your
brain.

You open your scorched-pale eyes; optical sensors integrate
light and shadow into a hideous simulacrum of the world around
you.

Or perhaps the simulacrum is perfect, and it is the world that
is hideous.

Padme? Are you here? Are you all right? you try to say, but
another voice speaks for you, out from the vocabulator that serves
you for burned-away lips and tongue and throat.

“Padme? Are you here? Are you all right?”
I’m very sorry, Lord Vader. I’m afraid she died. It seems in your
anger, you killed her.

This burns hotter than the lava had.
“No… no, it is not possible!”

You loved her. You will always love her. You could never will
her death.

Never.
But you remember…
You remember all of it.

You remember the dragon that you brought Vader forth
from your heart to slay. You remember the cold venom in Vader’s
blood. You remember the furnace of Vader’s fury, and the black
hatred of seizing her throat to silence her lying mouth-

And there is one blazing moment in which you finally under-
Stand that there was no dragon. That there was no Vader. That
there was only you. Only Anakin Skywalker.

That it was all you. Is you.

Only you.
You did it.
You killed her.

You killed her because, finally, when you could have saved her,
When you could have gone away with her, when you could have
been thinking about her, you were thinking about yourself…

It is in this blazing moment that you finally understand the
trap of the dark side, the final cruelty of the Sith –

Because now, your self is all you will ever have.

And you rage and scream and reach through the Force to
crush the shadow who has destroyed you, but you are so far less
now than what you were, you are more than half machine, you
are like a painter gone blind, a composer gone deaf, you can re-
member where the power was but the power you can touch is
only a memory, and so with all your world-destroying fury it is
only droids around you that implode, and equipment, and the
table on which you were strapped shatters, and in the end, you
cannot touch the shadow.

In the end, you do not even want to.

That is going to be extremely sad to watch in the theaters.

Genius stuff. Whoever thinks Lucas sucks is a superfriend!

I already printed out those images and they look great in a little booklet all trimmed and stapled....now all i need is the first 20 chapters bro and things will truly rock!

Hell yeah! This is the sort of thing a lot of us have been waiting for in the prequels.

Just ordered my copy from teh Sci-Fi Book Club.

I'm speachless. Even after knowing all the details - I'm still speachless.

Edited to combine all the text into a single post.

Wow. I'm stunned... if the movie can capture half of the emotion in those pages, it will be the crowning achievment of the Star Wars saga.

Fantastic!

Holy Shit.


Anakin..............

Absolutely loved those pages, especially Obi-Wans line about how he can think of no better way to spend the rest of his life than overseeing Anakins son, Luke. Kind a brought a tear to my eye..........

I just can't bring myself to read them! That's it....I am going to gouge out my eyes so I can't be tempted by any more spoilers.

Motherfucker!!!! Now I can't watch the movie! I should have thought thtat trough for a few more seconds......

Updated with Mace vs. Sidious/Knighting of Vader.

Holy shiznizzle!

Wow, this is beautiful. I now understand why people might cry at the end of this movie. I feel a little teary-eyed myself right now.

Thanks War_Monger

"Your a wonderful human being."

Awesome to read descriptions of these scenes, indeed.. however.. god, that's crap writing. It's a sad day when that guy can get a job. Not every thought requires a new paragraph break. "And the galaxy".. I laughed aloud at how hackish that was.

I love Stover's writing.

He's writing dramatically. It adds a nice effect to what is going on.

Anyway, the scans are amazing.

Holy crap! I loved reading that. Hopefully more is on its way.

There goes the flood gates.

It's OK for the most part, but I missed where Vapaad became a main fucking character in the saga...

You can say that again.

Agreed Bob. Nick Gillard was asked in one of the hyperspace chats something about vapaad and he had no clue what vapaad even was. So for Stover to bring it into the novel as one of the major things in one of the big fights feels completelyt unnecessary. i hate how Stover made such abig deal out of vapaad.

Holeeeee Shit.

Fuck, man. Need mirrors and fast.

Edit: Page 2 for Sidious VS Mace is down.

:O

Thanks for all the scans war_monger!

Dude, scan the Jedi temple raid!

That is all very powerful..I think it helps you understand how Luke is able to turn Vader back from the dark side in Episode 6.

I have to say that after reading the excerpt on HS that I wasn't about to shell out any cash for the novelization. I mean the whole youngsters being the saviour of the galaxy was total BS.

But after reading just a couple of pages of the Windu/Palpatine fight...

DAMN this movie is going to kick ass!!

And I'm going to spend the dough to buy the novelization.. damn you GL.. my credit card can't take much more of this...

Bravo war monger

Bravo

Absolutely incredible.
"Thanks" just doesn't cut it - you want a new car or something?

I don't think there is any more than we already got, considering that the page where Anakin entered the temple was on page 342 and orde 55 chapter began on page 343. The rest will probably be when Obi-Wan is checking the security cam. can't wait for that.

Poor Obi, here he thinks Anakin died in Order 66. he will be in for the biggest surprise of his life watching the security cam.

PLEASE scane the following pages after 363 where we were abruptly interrupted.

HUGE thank you War Monger! You rock.

For the novelization to be this good, it had to have a killer story to begin with. I think RotS will exceed my expectations. I really think George knocked this one out of the park.

I read that damn TPM novel... disliked it immensely... but I am definitely buying this one

THANKS FOR POSTING THESE SCANS! YOU ROCK!

Palpie rocks!

Man, Saesee and Agen really didn't know what was coming. Palpatine came out of his chair lightning fast, as we saw in the Trailer, and swung his blade at Saesee's head. Then, before Saesee's head even hit the ground, Agen Kolar had an extra hole in his face - right through his forehead.

If it plays out like this in the film, man, this scene is gonna make me go CRAZY.
