I give it three stars for being an extremely faithful novelization of the movie, and also for Anakin’s praise kink and a moment when he battles Dooku and controls his movements and it surprises Dooku. That’s neat. It’s my least favorite star wars novel for boring writing and it does little to explore the characters motivations or feelings. Now a regular novelization and star wars reader I can confidently say that Anakin was not nearly dramatic enough.

***edit: Also at some point they acknowledged how handsome bail organa was and i felt it was both necessary and took away from the moment.
