When I rewatched them I watched the original trilogy before the prequels. Maybe that was better, idk.

Because I ADORED the original films, but found the prequels difficult to get through. (Funnily enough, I thought TPM was by far the best of the prequels, and that's the one everyone seems to hate the most. The other two, even with sexy Ewan McGregor, were...not like I had remembered them. I thought Anakin's story was decent, and had the writing and acting been better I probably would've loved his character arc and turn to the dark side, but the execution didn't work for me.)

I think there's a disconnect in my head. I know Anakin is Vader and I'm good with it, but...after this latest rewatch I kind of headcanoned, "All this stuff happened, just...better.".

I know I plug this a lot, but have you read Matthew Stover's novelization of Revenge of the Sith? It's pretty much exactly what you're saying in that last sentence there - everything that happens in the movie, but presented so, so much better.

[elaminator]

You know, I'm not sure. I know I read at least one of the prequel novelizations, but don't know about ROTS specifically. If I have it's been so long I can't remember it. I might even have it stashed away somewhere, so I'll have to search for it later.

Because I did genuinely like the plot, I just didn't find the writing and over-all package in the least convincing.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Oh my god, I'm endorsing this for vethica. READ IT. It is amazing and I adore that book. It makes RotS so much better, not to mention the hints and setup that eventually lead to start of the Rebellion.

D:

God that book. It HURTS SO GOOD.

Also, if you ever wanna read a good book that deals with Mace Windu, Matthew Stover also wrote a novel called Shatterpoint that was very good. Of course, it's considered Legends content now, but it's still no less good.

Ooo, that sounds pretty interesting! If it makes ROTS better then I should try to give it a go. I honestly do think I bought it, but now I'm not sure where I put it... (Or even if I still have it.)

So, yea, maybe reading that would satisfy my Anakin/Vader feelings and I wouldn't find thinking about the change so jarring.

And I wasn't aware that Mace Windu had a book! Hmm. I'm open to it, if I can find the time to read it, lol.

You have horrible taste. But you are a brony, so that's no surprise.

[otakugal15]

Says the person who has no life and must add "stalking people" into the gaping chasm in order to feel whole.

*pat pat* I'd help you find meaning, but it wouldn't be worth it. I would most likely end up dumping you into a ditch and driving off. Then you'd have to stalk people to find civilization again.

[(Anonymous)]

If you don't want people in fandom to hate you and stalk you, you probably shouldn't make a point of how you spoiling highly anticipated movies is totally fine in your opinion. Just saying.

[otakugal15]

I nevr said it was fine. Just that they have the right, so long as it's warned for.

Reading comprehension, idiot, do you have it?

[shortysc22]

I can't recommend the RotS novel enough. It gives a whole lot more sense to Anakin's jealousy and his paranoia and his downfall. Honestly, I'd read the novel then watch the movie so you can see it visually, but it's soooooo good and is it bad I was hoping Stover would write The Force Awakens novel?

(Shatterpoint and Traitor were also well-written novels, even though Traitor is SUPER gritty)
