Revenge of the Sith, Part I: The Book With No Chill

Not content with the level of drama already present in the film version, Star Wars takes Episode 3 up a notch, and I cry.

Echo Base gets taken out of commission; Anakin’s room is as ridiculous as he is; Luke’s off on a Jedi field trip.

En route to his new kyber crystal, Vader stops by an old Jedi hangout — with more or less predictable results.

Bail and Obi-Wan hit the road.

Obi-Wan’s only got a few moments left to live, and he’s going to spend literally all of them thinking about his two favorite people.

Luke almost dies a few minutes into his latest adventure; Leia makes an ill-informed move; Obi-Wan’s sending Luke on a field trip.

On the cusp of starting Luke’s Hero’s Journey in earnest, Obi-Wan places a quick phone call.

Bail has a really long day at the office; Padme, like me, is maybe in love with everyone.

Galen Erso gets a mandatory job offer; the Rebellion finally figures out what that gigantic menacing ball is; Bail and Mon Mothma deserve some PTO.

Fresh off the assembly line, Vader gets sent on his very first Sith Assignment.
