Rezension von Matthis GfrererDid you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis 'the wise'? Well I did and I loved it. It is everything I like about Star Wars. It is heavy on politics, moral and the uncertain ways of the force. Following the rise of Darth Sidious, mostly from the perspective of Plagueis, aka Hego Damask, I often found myself sympathizing with Palpatine, which is very weird considering his role in Star Wars Canon. The books gives us the opposite perspective to what we see in the movies and most of the TV shows, a refreshing pov. We also get an insane amount of Sith-Lore. Giving that politics is an essential part of this book, it is very sadly very on vogue. A lot of the plot could parallel current events in the real world. Even though I really enjoyed this book there are some things I didn't: - Almost all of the characters in this book are male. Most of the female characters appearing in this book do not have lines or an actual character for that matter. I do realize that this is mostly due to the fact, that the book is based on the first 6 Star Wars Movies, where female characters are sadly almost non existent (except of course for Padmé and Leia duh). Also, I don't think this book (or the movies) would pass the Bechdel-Test. - In my opinion, there are just too many side characters, political parties, species, fractions etc. etc. I get that this is trying to generate a sense of the vastness if the galaxy, but all it did was confuse me. If you do not have a masters degree in Star Wars Lore I am sure it will confuse you as well. - The fact that this book is only canon in parts. But then again, this is rather a problem I have with the concept of the Star Wars Canon in general. In conclusion, if you are a Star Wars fan that wants to read a well written and paced book that has intrigue, politics and the ocasional light saber massacre, you will love this book.
