The Force Will Lure You in Star Wars Fans
Revenge of the Sith is a great read for Star Wars fans and for teenagers that like a great Sci-Fi adventure. “Star Wars, Episode 3, Revenge of the Sith” is written by Patricia Wrede. This novel is the 3rd episode of the Star Wars epic saga which follows Anakin Skywalker as he struggles to cope with the duty of being a Jedi Knight and the role as the secret husband of Senator Padme Amidala. An exciting novel that features the creation of Darth Vader and the birth of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia. Nearly 3 years have passed since the beginning of The Clone Wars. The Republic, with the help of the Jedi, take on Count Dooku and The Separatists. With a new threat rising, the Jedi council sends the two clone war heroes Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to help the captured Chancellor. Anakin feels he is ready to be promoted to Jedi Master. Meanwhile, Master Obi-Wan is hunting down the separatist General Grievous. When Anakin has future visions of pain and suffering coming Padme’s way, he sees Master Yoda for counselling. Darth Sidious has revealed himself and is ready to execute the last part of his plan to rule the galaxy. Sidious is ready for his new apprentice, Lord Vader, to step into action and orders order 66 to kill the remaining Jedi. Vader, however, struggles to choose the dark side and save his wife or remain loyal to the Jedi order. This novel really appealed to me because it was non stop action throughout and I believe most teenagers will feel the same way. It was very fast paced and quite an easy read. Another reason why I enjoyed the book is because I felt like I was on a journey with the characters, both good and evil. There are many main characters in this novel, but I decided to discuss the most interesting and my personal favourites. Anakin Skywalker is the apprentice of Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi. Anakin’s bond with his teacher Obi-Wan Kenobi is strong. They make a dynamic team in the Clone Wars, yet Anakin is troubled by feelings of anger and mistrust. He also feels great anger at the death of his mother and fears that something bad may happen to Padme Amidala (his secret wife). Anakin Skywalker is conflicted between good and evil. Anakin’s thirst for power leads him to the dark side of the force and he believes that only the dark side can give him the power to prevent death. In the novel I can tell that Anakin Skywalker is not a stereotypical character and I feel that he is a complicated character. He has both good and bad qualities inside of him. For Example, most villains would not have any empathy for anyone and usually be a very narcissistic person, thinking only of themselves, but in chapter 18, page 158 Anakin tells his wife Padme that, “I …show more content…
The entire Star Wars series evolves around the battle of the forces of good (the Jedi) and evil (the Sith). One of the major recurring themes is the power of evil to overcome good, no matter what the intentions. Another theme is power. There are really 2 categories of power in the Revenge of the Sith. The power of The Force and then there is your regular types of power in daily life, independence and the ability to make decisions based on your own thoughts. The last theme is trust. In order to make Anakin lose faith in his beloved Jedi, Chancellor Palpatine works to take away his trust in Obi - Wan and the Council. This effectively isolates Anakin and paves the path for his change to the dark side. Good vs Evil relates to teens because all teenagers like the good and the bad guy, and it’s up to you to choose what side you’re on. The theme power relates to teens because many of them like to think that they have to ability to do whatever they want. And the last theme is trust. The theme trust relates to teens because most will eventually go through something that is hard for them and they need to know that they can trust someone to talk about it and to figure the problem
