As you celebrate Cinco de Mayo, please be careful. One thing that is hidden on the darkside is The Revenge of the Fifth.

For celebrating Revenge of the Fifth- 

International Star Wars Day on May 4th became so popular that the fans didn't want the trend to die. Thus, the following day, May 5th, became Revenge of the Fifth Day. This was a play on the Star Wars movie title Revenge of the Sith. It is today, May 5th, that fans can let their darkside come out to play (coincidence that it happens to fall on Cinco de Mayo...I think not!) , so most fans let evoke their evil side. Many dress up as Sith Lords, other Vader, and many other are so drunk with Cinco de Mayo that even Chewbacca can be fun to dress as. But mostly fans party and wear costumes of the villain characters from the movies series.

Revenge of the Sith was one of my favorite Star Wars movie, ranking only behind The Empire Strikes Back. I was glad to listen to its novelization, expertly done by the remarkable Jonathan Davis. The audio version came with all sorts of special sound effects and the like. As a writer, I can imagine how limiting it would be to write a novel of a movie where the dialogue and story has already been created. I would think that the writer would just try not to screw it up, and Matthew Stover certainly accomplishes that. His writing is professional. There were no major gaffes. He handled the characters the way they should be handled and stayed loyal to the script. It was an enjoyable listen, mostly due to the narration. I do a good bit of listening to audio books, and Jonathan Davis is the very best narrator I've listened to. For a Star Wars fan, this is clearly a worthwhile read.

The movie is quite good but this novel is not. Nothing of much important is added by it. You can see the movie and leave the book untouched. That's the problem with some novel tie-in.
I would reccomend to anyone except the die-hard fans.

Found it at my local public library. In the interest of full disclosure, I will say that while I am a Star Wars fan, I am not too thrilled with the new films. Anyhow, see my short note on the book: [http://gypsylibrarian.blogspot.com/2006/12/short-notes-on-graphic-novels-8.html]

"This is what it feels like to be Anakin Skywalker." I wish he hadn't felt the need to repeat that throughout the book. I got it the first time, okay? I read this book after having seen the movie, and I was a little disappointed.

The first battle of the movie, where they rescue Chancellor Palpatine, encompasses fully the first third of this book. Some parts of the movie were not even included (Yoda on Kashyyyk???). Enjoyable, but not one of the best of the "based on" books I've read. It didn't even have as much extra background story as the first two. Personally, I thought Terry Brooks' Phantom Menace was much a much better novelization.
