Linked List Clue Methodology: How the hunt for Sidious plays out: The mechno-chair leads Obi-Wan and Anakin to one of its manufacturers, who leads them to another, who tells them of a pilot who delivered a ship, who gives them the destination on Coruscant. From there, the Jedi and their allies follow more clues towards Sidious's true hiding place. It's been a learning experience from beginning to end, and your enjoyment of them is what it's all about. That, and being able to sit through these awful movies myself. Hopefully Episode VII won't require breaking out the 'contingency' versions, though I'm ready for that possibility. Even though they contain a few references to the prophecy, it's still much more vague and could allow for the interpretation that it actually referred to Luke. It's Star Wars, so you don't get a long review. The audiobooks by Random House come complete with sound effects and music. They're really well done. If you like audiobooks anyway, the Star Wars ones from Random House are worth your time.

Chewbacca’s onscreen appearances have been altered to either remove him or disguise him by recoloring his fur and adding alternate clothing. (Thanks to Poppasketti for visual FX, and to danieldubb and Chase Adams for help with audio) At the citadel Anakin and Obi-Wan discuss their find: the mechno-chair. Anakin is determined to examine the chair there but Obi-Wan insists that they wait for Republic Intelligence to show up. Anakin refuses to wait though and has R2-D2 try and run a diagnostic on the chair. While Anakin is talking with Obi-Wan though the chair receives Gunray's signal and goes off to arm itself to explode. Anakin is able to stop it before it does, though narrowly avoiding poison gas emitted from the chair. After stopping the self-destruct, a recording of a conversation between Gunray and Sidious appears.

Star Wars: Labyrinth of Evil is a 2005 novel by James Luceno set in the fictional Star Wars universe. The novel serves as a lead-in to Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, and was loosely adapted into Volume Two of the Star Wars: Clone Wars microseries. By stripping away extraneous tangents and bolstering attention to character development, this edit seeks to improve the original film. The original trilogy is regarded as the template toward which the prequels strive. The prequels are made to submit to the continuity and drive of the originals to the degree possible. Author James Luceno answers a few questions about this hotly anticipated hardcover release that hits bookstores today.

Little references from all the Clone Wars novels (well, mostly the good ones, Yoda, Shatterpoint, etc.) are integrated into one cohesive work. The end blends perfectly with the beginning of RotS. I just loved reading each little detail that blended with AotC, the previous Clone Wars novels, and even The Phantom Menace, making sense of all the wanderings that previous novelists have done.Side note: I think that the prequels have too many villains. Obviously Sidious is the Big Bad, but Maul and Dooku and Grievous all feel like Sailor Moon villains of the week, and that’s not even adding Asajj Ventress and Durge and others into the equation! Removed Obi-Wan sneaking into the bathroom on Padme’s ship. If you missed him during the wide shot, it’ll be a surprise when he shows up later. Removed most asinine dialogue as Padme arrives and confronts Anakin, including “I saw your ship.” No reference to younglings. Tension ratchets between the two as Anakin finds out Padme told Obi-Wan about their relationship. No discussion about Anakin trying to save Padme; she never knew about Anakin’s fears about that. Anakin doesn’t seem focused on it himself anymore. Though no changes have been made for V6 to the contents of the scene between Padme and Obi-Wan, the audio has been reworked to avoid breaking up the musical score, allowing it to play out in a more aesthetically pleasing way.

To everyone else, the purpose of this novel edit was to bring Labyrinth of Evil into canon continuity. However, it seems that it will be retconned by the upcoming novel “Brotherhood,” which will feature its own version of the Cato Nemodia incident. This novel edit will now be better for those that keep Siege of Mandalore in their Legends timeline and want it to coexist with Labyrinth. That was actually the initial intent and is also why references to the Republic comics and other Legends content is kept in the edit. Sounds like this won’t be too much of a concern. Here’s what the author of Brotherhood had to say on the subject:Trimmed Grievous' lunge that Obi-Wan does not react to. It betrays the chasm between the CGI and live elements. Big Fancy Castle: Nute Gunray's fortress on Cato Neimoidia gives off this vibe. Besides being huge, opulent, and full of rare treasures (the reason Gunray returned to his homeworld in the first place), it sits on top of an enormous warren where fungi are grown, both as food for larval Neimoidians and as a valuable export. On Tythe, Dooku sends battle droids to delay Anakin and Obi-Wan from reaching him, but his plans go awry when an angered Skywalker loses control of himself. In a surge of rage and power, Anakin releases a powerful wave of Force energy that collapsed the vast hall of the building, burying himself, Obi-Wan and Dooku beneath tons of debris.

Season 6 of Clone Wars featured voicework by Liam Neeson. I was able to use some of it as an eleventh-hour source. The 720p and 1080p releases will reflect this, but the already-released-by-then DVD5 will not. A few months ago I finished reading the novelizations of all 6 Star Wars movies. When I read Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith I found out that there were 2 books that covered the events immediately preceding and immediately following Episode III. This book is the prequel to the Episode III novelization. The writing style was decent; better than some of the Star Wars books I've read. Unfortunately, I didn't really get into the story until the last quarter of the book; maybe the pace just wasn't right, or I didn't care enough about the plot. Did you have access to the shooting script f a b c "Three Books In One: The Dark Lord Trilogy". StarWars.com. January 28, 2008. Archived from the original on February 1, 2008 .

His liquefying brain notwithstanding, Dyne found a moment to be astonished, because he recognized the man instantly. … As the Jedi suspected, the Sith had managed to infiltrate the highest levels of the Republic government.Aboard the Invisible Hand Grievous watches as Nute Gunray's ship exits hyperspace, followed closely by Republic starfighters. He destroys part of Gunray's droid fighter escort as a punishment and considers letting the Republic troops achieve their kill. However he decides that Dooku and Sidious would be too upset with him were he to allow Gunray to die and thus destroys the starfighters. These edits adopt the prequels' assumption that the audience is already familiar with what came before. As such, the best answer is Old Ben's exposition that, "to protect [them] both from the Emperor, [they] were hidden from [their] father when [they] were born." Hidden in Plain Sight: Palpatine as always. Luceno also adds a new layer to Palpatine's secret trolling with the reveal that one of the statues he installed in the Chancellor's Office is actually an ancient demigod of disguise. Initially I was looking forward to re-reading this book because I remembered how good it was, remembered it being evocatively dark, and scenes of Anakin grappling with an ‘inner dragon’. Now I’ve finished, I realise that what I remembered was actually from Matthew Stover’s novelisation of Revenge of the Sith. It makes sense in hindsight; Stover is well-known in the Expanded Universe for his hard-hitting, no-punches-pulled entries, including Shatterpoint and Traitor. Mea culpa – it has been a decade at least since I last did a Star Wars books marathon re-read. But I still remembered enjoying Labyrinth of Evil, and the book didn’t let me down on that front. Removed most asinine dialogue as Padme arrives and confronts Anakin, including "I saw your ship." No reference to younglings. Tension ratchets between the two as Anakin finds out Padme told Obi-Wan about their relationship. No discussion about Anakin trying to save Padme; she never knew about Anakin's fears about that.
