The abridged audiobook rendition of the Star Wars Legends novel, sharing its title, is titled Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Matthew Stover penned the novel, while Jonathan Davis lent his voice to the audiobook. Random House Audio initially launched it on April 7, 2005, presenting it as a collection of four compact discs and three cassette tapes. Kevin Thomsen took on the roles of producer, director, and abridger, with Jacob Bromstien acting as the executive producer. An unabridged counterpart, also voiced by Jonathan Davis, was released concurrently. Subsequently, on September 13, 2005, Random House Audio made it available in digital format.
The Star Wars saga's pivotal moment is imminent…
The Separatists have relentlessly assaulted the already weakened Republic for years of civil conflict, pushing it to the brink of destruction. The Senate on Coruscant nervously observes Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's aggressive erosion of constitutional freedoms, ostensibly to protect the Republic. Yoda, Mace Windu, and their Jedi Masters struggle with the Chancellor's unsettling power grab over the Jedi Council. Furthermore, Anakin Skywalker, the prophesied Chosen One destined to bring balance to the Force, is increasingly haunted by the fear that his secret love, Senator Padmé Amidala, will perish.
As the galactic conflict intensifies, the stage is set for a climactic showdown: Obi-Wan embarks on a treacherous mission to eliminate General Grievous, the formidable Separatist military leader. Palpatine, seeking to consolidate his power, manipulates public sentiment against the Jedi. Meanwhile, a conflicted Anakin—plagued by disturbing visions—teeters on the edge of a decision that will reshape the galaxy. Darth Sidious, whose influence grows ever stronger, is poised to deliver the final, devastating blow to the Republic…and to anoint a terrifying new Sith Lord: Darth Vader.
