“ this was not sith against jedi. this was not light against dark or good against evil; it had nothing to do with duty or philosophy, religion or morals. it was anakin against obi-wan. personally. just the two of them, and the damage they had done to each other. “ ow ow ow ow ow

Spoiler

“ obi-wan picked up anakin’s lightsaber. he lifted his own as well, weighing them in his hands. anakin had based his design upon obi-wan’s. so similar they were. so differently they had been used. “

Spoiler

“ obi-wan looked down at the simple, child-like symbols carved into it, and felt from it in the force soaring echoes of transcendent love, and the bleak, black despair of unendurable heartbreak. “

Spoiler

“ 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. “ this film will forever break my heart- the tragedy of anakin skywalker.

I really love this adaptation. Revenge of the Sith has always been my favorite Star Wars movie, and this book highlighted all the things I love without most of the things I don't. The only flaws it has, I would say, are ones from the original film. I can't give 5 full stars to something that does Padmé so dirty, though. ("This is what it's like to be Padmé Amidala.... she is Anakin Skywalker's wife." Please stop doing this to her I'm begging.)
