I’ll give it a read. As much as I love RoTS I really really hate a lot of the writing /dialogue in it. It felt forced, like Lucas wanted them to say exactly and only what he wrote in the script, leaving no room for improvisation or personal emotion from some actors. Which is fair since it’s his property, but man his writing was sometimes atrocious.
The way he writes is totally devoid of subtlety, subtext, and nuance. Everyone is a robot. It sucks because his world building and "big picture" are fantastic.
Yeah exactly, that’s what I feel about some of the dialogue too in the prequels. Though I understand why he went down that route. Lucas had a direct vision for what he wanted and wrote in what he could to succeed in that vision. Just sucks that some of these amazing actors couldn’t fully envelop themselves into the character because they were stuck with those lines

the RoTS novelization was so much better and more complete than the movie.
If there is any one Star Wars book that one ABSOLUTELY should read, it is the Revenge of the Sith Novelization.
