coupes. Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Over at TFN there is a 'Revenge of the Sith' novelisation summary. It doesn't go much into details but it does tell us about the MAJOR EVENTS and gives us a very good idea of what the movie will be like. If you don't want to be spoiled, DO NOT READ THE FOLLOWING ! Last chance to backup... The book opens with Anakin and Obi-Wan returning from a space mission to find Coruscant under attack by a Separatist fleet under General Grievous and Count Dooku, and that Chancellor Palpatine has been kidnapped. They fight their way onto the ship, fight across the ship, and then fight Count Dooku, who is holding Palpatine. Obi-Wan is knocked out, and then Palpatine (whom we the audience have, finally, learned really is Darth Sidious, but Anakin doesn't know that) urges Anakin on in his fight with Dooku. Anakin kills Dooku in the duel. There's some more running around, and a confrontation with Grievous (who then escapes) before Anakin flies the remnants of the ship into a controlled crash on the planet. Anakin, Obi-Wan and Palpatine all walk away (though Palpatine's plan was to have Obi-Wan die in front of Anakin). Palpatine is calling for even more powers, and the Senate is prepared to give them to him. He wants, in particular, immediate and direct control over the Grand Army of the Republic and control of the Jedi. The Jedi, of course, don't want to let him have either, and are trying to find ways to stymie him. A group of Senators, led by Padme Amidala, is also trying to reign in Palpatine's powers, and presents him with a petition asking him to return his powers to the Senate (the petition isn't presented until very late in the book, though we do see the Senators meeting and discussing the problem several times earlier). Palpatine names Anakin as his representative on the Jedi Council, which makes everyone more unhappy and increases tensions. Grievous is discovered to be on an out-of-the-way planet on the Rim, and Obi-Wan is sent (alone) to bring him in. Anakin is annoyed that the "team" is being broken up (even though he's staying with his pregnant wife whom he expects to die, and even though he has a very important role as Palpatine's representative to the Jedi -- he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, our Annie). Yoda is also sent out on a mission, to the Wookies' planet. The war would seem to be winding down, but Palpatine shows no signs of allowing that, and wants to turn the screws tighter -- he rejects Jedi calls for peace negotiations. Anakin has been distracted (through the whole book, basically) since he's had prophetic dreams of Padme dying in childbirth (and his previous dreams have always come true). Palpatine strings Anakin along with stories of great Sith knowledge, and the potential to save her life, and eventually reveals himself as Darth Sidious. Anakin returns to the Jedi Temple and tells Mace Windu who Palpatine really is. Windu immediately grabs the three strongest Jedi there, and goes off to "arrest" Palpatine. Palpatine tapes the confrontation (making himself seem weak and helpless), then kills the four Jedi and starts his immediate purge of the Jedi (getting Anakin to do much of the work at the Jedi Temple, backed up by clone soldiers, who across the galaxy are having their secret "kill all Jedi" orders revealed). Palpatine stuns the Senate the next morning with news of what he calls a Jedi attempt on his life, and declares the beginning of the first Galactic Empire. Obi-Wan and Yoda both survive, though no other Jedi are seen to live through the assault. They both make their way back to Coruscant, where Obi-Wan meets with a practically-in-labor Padme. Anakin has, at the same time, been sent off to yet another hole-in-the-wall planet to kill the remaining Separatist leadership. Obi-Wan rushes off to confront him, while Yoda will fight Palpatine simultaneously. Yoda is defeated by Palpatine but manages to escape (with the help of Senator Bail Organa). Padme had chased Anakin to his planet, and they are quickly joined by Obi-Wan. Anakin is jealous of Obi-Wan (who he thinks might have something going on on the side with Padme). Padme is left unconscious for reasons I no longer remember, and the two Jedi fight. Obi-Wan eventually wins, with Anakin left legless and armless near a lava flow. But Obi-Wan has to flee, because Palpatine is rapidly approaching in his ship (starships are used like taxis in this story). He runs away with Padme, who gives birth (to twins) and dies on board Bail Organa's ship. Organa will take the female twin, Leia, to raise as his own daughter. Obi-Wan takes the boy, Luke, to leave with Anakin's relatives on Tatooine (and keep an eye on the boy himself). Yoda insists that they not be trained as Jedi in any way whatsoever, for obscure Yoda reasons. source : http://www.theforce.net/episode3/story/Revenge_of_the_Sith_Novelization_Summary_88880.asp book cover : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/coupes/pics/ep3cover.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfnshannon Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I still think that everyone is set on her dying and it can't be true. It wouldn't make sence. I still think ani thinks she's dead. Dies on the ship? It says in that plot line - But doesn't obi go to a new planet in order to save a fallen comrade and we saw in that padme pic that she is on a different planet etc. So??? Why does it say she dies on the ship? I think it does because that TFN plot line is someone's wonderful work of putting a fan boy story together. If I'm wrong I'm sorry - if I'm not....then good for Padme. I can't see her being taken to a planet to give birth to the twins and then after the driods say sorry she's gonna die - load her up in your ship and be off with her. Hope she gives birth to the baby's. Hope you have good medical things on board your ship to keep her alive so R2D2 can do that emergency c-section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfnshannon Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I need a more solidified spoiler. Anyone can claim novel. I'll admit the pic scared me, seeing the funeral on the webcam scared me and someone said that on the webcam they saw a "force choke". But still I want to believe that we are being led on. I know she does "die" according to Lea (however you spell her name - so I know its not out of the question, but I just don't want a Lea can feel her mom through the force bull when she says she remembered her. If that was the case why didn't Luke "feel her force" too. I just want her to live damn - it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 *pats Shan* I have a sneeking suspicion that by the end of May your user title will be set to something along the lines of "Grieving Mother". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivy Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 i think Padme goes into a coma or something. something we know she wont recover from, but we don't actually see her die. its the only explanation. if she was alive she wouldn't let her children be taken away from her. but they are so either she is dead or incapable of looking after them. leia says she remembers her mother. GL had the opportunity to take that line out of ROTJ when the DVDs were released, but he didn't. it’s possible that Leia remember her mother only because she is taken to visit her while comatose when she was still very young.
