I had to lower my rating. That's the danger of rating a book long after you read it. Upon re-read, it was the story I was awarding five stars, not this book. Lucas' third act is brilliant, Kahn's writing was not.
Max Allan Collins is a supremely better adapter and I wish he could go back and write all of the novelizations.
Biggest complaint: R2D2 makes no sense as Artoodeetoo.
Second biggest complaint: I do not need a transliteration of all of the aforementioned beeps and wheezes. After almost 40 years I can write his dialogue in my head!

Another brilliant adaptation of the movie. There are moments that couldn't be in the films, such as when Vader is Anakin once more, and looks on his son for the first and last time; or when Luke is being seduced to the dark side, in the most subtle, overwhelming ways that really make this book. The difference is great, and makes this a phenominal book. Truely enjoyed it and can't wait to see VII, and read it's book!

For a movie novelization, this was actually really well-written!
