I was in a bookstore last night, and right there in the first display inside the main door was the novelization of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
It was sitting right there.
With a complete novelization of what will go down on movie screen across the country just over a month from now.
It had all the spoilers one could want (shy of a bootleg copy of the finished film itself, of course).
And it’s available not only in hardback but also in CD and audiocasette, both abridged and unabridged.
At very reasonable prices.
Next day shipping available.
But be warned: If once you start to read it, forever will it dominate your experience of the film.
YOU MUST FACE YOUR GREATEST TEMPTATION, YOUNG PADAWAN.

I’ve been tempted over the past week–oh, so sorely tempted–but I decided against it. While I’ve enjoyed Matthew Stover’s other SW work, he tends to present a view of the Force and the Jedi that’s offbeat enough that I want to experience the film first.
I did break down and read the Introduction and the first part of Chapter 1, though. 🙂
By dominating my “experience of the film,” does that mean that if I read it, I won’t think the movie sucks out loud? I mean, if it does that, I’ll be happy to part with $17.13 any day.
