2am over here to! give us the info dump ears open!!

gang!!! 2am gang!!! okay okay okay i'm sorry but YOU ASKED FOR THIS you shouldn't have gotten me started what if i'm crying over here. I'm currently at the part in the book where Palpatine is about to reveal himself as a sith lord and the novelization is just. so. sososososo good about it.. Palpatine has known Anakin since he was NINE, he's been "friends" with Anakin ever since he first arrived to be a Jedi, and Anakin literally considers him FAMILY. He says so himself.

And like. For some context to this situation, Anakin has been a slave his entire life until he got picked up by Qui-Gon to be trained as a Jedi. And even then, Jedi are more considered.. just that, Jedi, before they are people. They aren't allowed to own anything. So he's literally never owned anything in his whole entire life. And I don't know how much you know about Star Wars anon, but Palpatine makes me so fucking angry because like. He's been working to make an unstoppable killing machine for decades. And he sensed the force was so strong in Anakin and also sensed that he had a lot of mixed emotions. And literally the moment me met this nine year old child, he made it his personal goal to become his best friend who he could trust more then anything, so Anakin would tell him anything, so he could use it all against him to manipulate him into making him his own personal berserker who would kill anyone he asked. Since Anakin was nine. And as additional heart wrenching context, please keep in mind that like. Anakin had, not even a minute before this conversation, a full blown literal panic attack directly in front of Palpatine. And he hasn't eaten or slept for days, maybe even a full week, because his soul crushing anxiety and prophetic dreams about his wife dying have been keeping him from doing so. Which is literally manipulation 101, that someone is way easier to manipulate when they're sleep deprived.

And now I'm just gonna send a few silly little paragraphs I'm reading to just know how wild I'm going over here at 2:30 in the damn morning.

and the whole novelization is just as good as this i could go on for way more paragraphs i just!!!! EAUGH anakins entire everything just makes me want to cry everyone is doomed by the narrative in revenge of the sith and nothing makes me frown to myself more .
