Let us return once more to a more civilized age, a Star Wars podcast. I'm Rob Zakhani, joined by

Alia Kapora, Austin Walker, and Natalie Watson. We are, as always, supported by you, our listeners,

by patreon.com slash civilized.

So head over there if you'd like to support the show and get access to all our Q&A episodes and

special editions like our tour through the Tartikovsky Clone Wars cartoon, which ended up

being so rich with material, dense with meaning.

We ended up doing two episodes on it.

We got through part one, and we were like, we can't do justice to this in three hours.

So we need to have two episodes about this cartoon, which is surprisingly awesome.

But today, we are back on mission completing Matthew Stover's novelization of Revenge of the

Sith.

And we are going to learn how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker forever.

Spoilers.

Not great.

Not great.

Did you see that?

Do you see that? Do you have that edition? Yeah. Oh, that's why I was like, look at the phrasing right. I just turned it. By the way, though. Yeah. So we have this anniversary edition. We do. Mm-hmm. And I was like, this is a cool edition. It's got the footnotes, like nice paper, all this stuff. I don't consider myself having particularly greasy or sweaty hands,

but all the silver embossing on my cover just like wore off, just from reading it once.

Yeah, like, look, that's what my cover looks like now.

That's wild.

That's wild. That's really wild. That's really wild. Yeah. And it's just like, it's just wiped off. So, yours are fine. Mine is a bit scratch. Mine is scratch. Now that you mention it, mine is, it is, it is like right through where it says episode, the second E& episode is gone.

I can just wipe this off of my thumb.
