STAR WARS APPRECIATION WEEK -> DAY: 13
“And there is one blazing moment in which you finally understand 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. … It is in this blazing moment that you finally understand the trap of the dark side, the final cruelty of the Sith — Because now yourself 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 ... 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. In the end, the shadow is all you have left. Because the shadow understands you, the shadow forgives you, the shadow gathers you unto itself- And within your furnace heart, you burn in your own flame. This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker. Forever…” Revenge of the Sith Novelization, Matthew Stover

Anakin & Padme "Revenge of the Sith"
If not for his dreams, he’d withdraw from the Order today. Now. The Lost Twenty would be the Lost Twenty-One. Let the scandal come; it wouldn’t destroy their lives. Not their real lives. It would destroy only the lives they’d had before each other: those separate years that now meant nothing at all.

No fanfic I read will ever live up to the one inspired by the Revenge of the Sith Novelization, where Obi-Wan gets to Anakin in time to calm him down in the middle of his breakdown
I've gone mad searching the tags: rots fix it, protective obi wan, anakin skywalker needs a hug, emotional hurt/comfort, just none of them come close 😭
I NEED to see Obi-Wan physically hold Anakin together cause he is The Anakin Whisperer and no one else could have gotten through to him in that moment, that's why Palpatine wanted Obi-Wan GONE. I need them to talk. For Obi-Wan to finally tell him "I love you, you're my brother" before it's too late. If I have to I'll write one myself but I just don't think I can pull it off 😭
I need 100 fics just like it, I'm talking hundreds of thousands of words. Please. Send recs. I'm begging 🧎♀️
Whoever wrote this, I love you

Incorrect DR Quotes
And there is one blazing moment in which you finally understand that there was no dragon. That there was no True Darkness. That there was only you. Only Baldr.
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...

So I re-read the RotS novel
Man, the beginning and the middle parts are so Good. From how it describes the state of the galaxy, Dooku's plans for the future and his realization of his role in Palp's plans, the internal struggle and manipulation of Anakin, Mace Windu's reaction to learning Palpatine IS Sidious, Cody lamenting that he could have gotten 66 before he gave Obi-wan his lightsaber back, some snippets of R2 being his sassy self.
I think the very tail end suffers a bit in comparsion? But I think that (personally) it's hard to top what actually happens in the films compared to the earlier parts. But it still has some good parts - Yoda realizing that he doesn't have what it takes to beat Palpatine because the Sith evolved while the Jedi didn't, but he needs to survive to share this revelation. And thinking to himself that's a problem.
But man, did Matthew Stover nail it in the writing here. Both in the descriptions and the dialogue. Especially the "This is what it is to be X" parts!
Some other parts I like
Palpatine acting like he's a helpless old man before jedi assaiasins, right after he behead one jedi master and stabbed another in the head. Then, making a 'shush' motion at Mace and the other jedi and winking at them, before silencing the recording device.
Palpatie's almost jovial welcoming of Yoda.
How the reveal scene of Palatine is a Sith is handled in the novel. Anakin holding Palpatine at lightsaber point in his office, with Palpatine seated in his chair. And in that same scene Palpatine revealing that he knew of the marriage of Padme and Anakin from the beginning thanks to his contacts among his homeworld.

I Will Always Go To War To Defend ROTS Against Gen X: Here’s Why
Sounds like a stupid title, right? Well. Since Kenobi aired, my father - A Gen Xer - has repeatedly said that it’s the best Star Wars content to release since the OT back in 80’s.
He hates the prequels. Like REALLY hates the prequels.
My 20 year old brother and I have this discussion with him frequently: The prequels are the backbone to making the OT make sense, and remain some of the best piece of Star Wars media beloved by the generation it’s meant for.
And yes, I’m specifically talking about Revenge of the Sith.
My dad has claimed for years that it was ruined by cheesy dialogue (the high ground vs low ground scene is one he mentions every single time we have this convo) as well as having less then adequate saber duels. I repeatedly inform him that Hayden and Ewan have, to date, the most iconic and probably the MOST difficult saber duel in the entire franchise.
He also says there’s a lot of plot holes. I, being the only one in my family who has consumed nearly every piece of major Star Wars media, agree with him. But all of those plot holes are filled by two things in particular. The book, and The Clone Wars.
The Revenge of the Sith novelization has got to be the best novel I’ve read of all of the Star Wars novels in my library. It’s art in word form.
Case in point, a few of my favorite quotes from it:
"The rain will come, and the seeds will sprout, for the dark is the soil in which they grow, and it is the clouds above them, and it waits behind the star that gives them light. The dark's patience is infinite. Eventually, even stars burn out."
“This is Obi-Wan Kenobi:
A phenomenal pilot who doesn’t like to fly. A devastating warrior who’d rather not fight. A negotiator without peer who frankly prefers to sit alone in a quiet cave and meditate.”
And it makes the movie so much more poignant.
His biggest argument, however, is that Hayden Christensen was such a bad actor that it ruined it for him. I thus returned to inform him of how badly Hayden was harassed after the creation of ROTS and how hated the prequels were until the people who they were made for came of age and learned to appreciate them.
My best friend and I just had this conversation the other day: You really cannot enjoy Star Wars as a whole without consuming all of the available media. Yes, I too was skeptical of cartoons as someone in their early twenties, but TCW is not written for a child audience. It just happens to be animated with a mature story that fills in all the questions you inevitably have for the time between Episode 2 and 3.
The one thing that the shows do is add more depth that's not given in the movies. Depth through development of interpersonal character relationships (Anakin and Ahsoka from TCW clear into Twilight of the Apprentice) (Rex and Ahsoka) (Obi-Wan and Anakin) and enough of character development for those we know so little about - KANAN JARRUS - to make their inevitable deaths absolutely devastating.
That's what the shows succeed at. The movies, not so much.
I go on to tell my father that The Clone Wars (and begrudingly, Rebels..) fills in a lot of the questions he ends up having about plot holes and unanswered things during Episode 3. Like why Padme died, how Anakin ''fell so fast', etc.
He gets the same answer every single time.
"Your child's brain is a useless well of Star Wars knowledge obtained through the means of researching for fan fiction and now contains most answers to all Star Wars related questions you may have. No, Revenge of the Sith is not a bad movie, they just don't give you a satisfactory amount of information through the general story for you to be okay with watching it without complaining."
So, yeah. Gen Z, fight for your ROTS rights because that movie is phenomenal and needs to be defended against people who have only watched 9 movies and remain oblivious to the truth: You need to watch all Star Wars media to really grasp the overall story.
No matter how much you dislike it : )
