This year marks the 20th anniversary of Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith, and if you're looking to celebrate, you can grab the film's novelization in a new and deluxe package. The book is currently priced at $60 ahead of its October 14 release, but it's possible this price will come down before then. As a reminder, Amazon offers a preorder price guarantee, so you'll only be charged for the book when it actually ships out. If the price does come down--which often happens with Amazon preorders--then you'll pay the lower amount. For now, think of this preorder as booking your spot in line, just in case the book sells out.
Star Wars Revenge of the Sith: Deluxe Edition Novel
$60 | Releases October 14
The Star Wars Revenge of the Sith: Deluxe Edition Novel features new hardcover binding with an illustrated wrap-around cover, an acetate jacket featuring a foil-stamped silhouette of Darth Vader, and a red satin ribbon bookmark. The pages feature foiled and ink-stamped edges that create an iconic quote from the film when the book is closed. Within the book, you'll find a new introduction by author Matthew Stover, over 170 annotations with insights on how this adaptation was written, and two illustrated endpapers depicting two of the most pivotal scenes from the story.
Widely considered to be one of the best Star Wars novelizations, the literary adaptation of Revenge of the Sith improves on the feature film's story by diving into each character's internal thoughts, providing more insight into their motivations and actions. The added context makes for a holistic version of the plot and adds a Shakespearian quality to the story, mixing tragedy with a painful lesson about always having the upper hand.
If you're curious about the other Star Wars novelizations, all eleven Star Wars feature films--including Episodes 1-9, Rogue One, and Solo--have received official book adaptations, and the Prequel Trilogy novels are particularly of note. Not only are they all considered elevated versions of their film source material, but all three are written by acclaimed sci-fi and fantasy writers. As mentioned above, Revenge of the Sith is written by Matt Stover, who has also written a long list of other official Star Wars extended universe books, while The Phantom Menage was written by Sword of Shannara creator Terry Brooks, and Attack of the Clones was written by R.A. Salvatore, best known for the Legend of Drizzt series of fantasy novels. If you want to check out all three, you can pick up the Star Wars: The Prequel Trilogy Novelization for $18 at Amazon (was $25). The rest of the Star Wars novelization series is also available at Amazon.
