Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith represents the complete audiobook rendition of the Star Wars Legends book bearing the same title, penned by Matthew Stover. Jonathan Davis lent his voice to the audiobook, initially brought to the public by Random House Audio on April 2, 2005. This version was available as both an eleven-disc compact disc collection and on cassette tapes. Kevin Thomsen took on the roles of producer and director, while Jacob Bromstien held the position of executive producer. It was launched alongside a shorter, abridged audiobook, also narrated by Jonathan Davis. Random House Audio made it accessible in digital form on September 13, 2005.
The Star Wars narrative arrives at its crucial juncture…
The Separatists have pushed the already struggling Republic to the edge of destruction after years of civil conflict. The Senate on Coruscant nervously observes Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's increasingly aggressive erosion of constitutional freedoms, justified as necessary for the Republic's security. Yoda, Mace Windu, and their Jedi peers struggle with the Chancellor's unsettling power grab, as he attempts to control the Jedi Council. Anakin Skywalker, the prophesied Chosen One destined to bring equilibrium to the Force, finds himself increasingly haunted by the fear of his secret love, Senator Padmé Amidala, dying.
As galactic warfare intensifies, the scene is set for a climactic showdown: Obi-Wan embarks on a hazardous mission to eliminate General Grievous, the feared Separatist military leader. Palpatine, seeking to consolidate his power, skillfully manipulates public sentiment against the Jedi. Anakin, conflicted and plagued by disturbing premonitions, teeters on the brink of a decision that will reshape the galaxy. Darth Sidious, whose influence grows ever stronger, prepares to deliver the final, devastating blow to the Republic…and to anoint a terrifying new Sith Lord: Darth Vader.
A German language rendition of the audiobook, narrated by Philipp Moog, was distributed by Random House Audio, Deutschland, in February, 2017. Later, in August 2022, a French language version of the audiobook, with Emmanuel Dekoninck as the narrator, was released by Lizzie Audio.
