What’s terrifying about Palpatine in the novel is how genuinely good and wise the added dialogue makes him feel. It’s like reading Dumbledore’s dialogues with Harry from the HP books, only this Dumbledore is deliberately using his wisdom and intellect to manipulate the chosen one into becoming a monster.
I agree, it's a shame George left out the part where Palpatine doesn't deny he's a Sith and he also states he's Anakin's friend (even though that friendship was pure fabrication.) and asks would Anakin kill him simply because he's a Sith, even though they are friends. In the film, he just states he's empowered by Anakin that he's frustrated and asks him to join him. Before this scene in the novel, Palpatine also offers a brand new speeder and some luxurious apartment for Anakin and he's absolutely stunned by that. Also, I find it interesting that when Palpatine asks Anakin to leave the Order and become his apprentice, Anakin doesn't immediately say that he's a Sith. He probably thinks Palpatine wants Anakin to become his mentor of sorts and his personal guardian, like the Senate Guards, before Palpatine reveals he's a Sith Lord.
I love how Palpatine slowly eases Anakins mind, and slowly, insidiously, subtely, and cautiously talks about the Idea of Anakin beaing his apprentice, instead of the film, where he just out of nowhere tells Anakin he is a Sith lord. This is much more realistic, to what Palpatine would do.
The dialogue here is very interresting but it makes Anakin looking more stupid and very slow to understand who Palpatine really is. At the moment he talked about becoming his apprentice, he should have reacted instead of "Hmm, I don't know... I don't have the time, too much work..."
@@jimcorleone7861On some level, after executing Dooku, Anakin probably does know what palpatine is, but he cant even allow himself to think that, how can he? The closest person he has ever had to a father, one who has guided him, consoled him and protected his closest secrets. The only man in his life who did not use him, force him to serve, or fight or kill on command. Imagine hearing tommorow that your own mother is the worst war crimnal the world has ever known. You would deny it, refuse to even humor it even if evidence was presented. Until she privately tells you truthfuly, honestly that it is true, and that the only thing she truly cares for in the world is you, and that what happens next is your choice. What hope would you have of making the right choice? What even is the right choice in that instance? Hand over your parent to certain execution? To a government that has nothing but distrust and contempt for you, despite everything you have ever done for it? The government that is holding you back from the one thing you selflessly want, and asks for you to just meekly let go and loose the people you care about? How must it feel to serve your entire adult life in the thrall of a cult, fighting for years on the frontline in horrific conflict after conflict, making sacrifice after sacrifice, and yet all they ever demand is more.
"You. It's you. It's been you all along. I should kill you. I WILL kill you." "...For what?" "You're a Sith Lord!" "I am. I am also your friend." This exchange carries so much more weight compared to simply having "...you're the Sith Lord!" and "Are you going to kill me?" in the film it's actually unreal.
Yes. He was born a slave, was release, became the slave of Jedi doctorine was release from that, destroyed everything he valued and finally was slaved by his new master.
I seem to remember that several sentences are missing from the first part, the ones that you would ask that it will be yours that Anakin starts with small things like an ultra-expensive speeder or an entire building (the Republica 500 I think I remember) and Palpatine tells Anakin that he constricts his thinking to insignificant things, that he could ask for a moon, Whatever planet he wants (giving him the footing so that later, he thinks he could get Palpatine out of the way and take over the empire, his empire, to rule it with Padme). Those lines may seem a little unnecessary, but I think they're important to see Palpatine break through Anakin's reduced boundaries of thinking and finally break the reduced terms of ambition that the Jedi have conveyed to him with their training. Still, this scene in all its complexity should not have been cut in Revenge of the Sith. This, along with the initial where Palpatine predisposes Anakin against the Jedi while giving him what Anakin so desperately needs, which is the rank of master to enter the Jedi Council and access all the holocrons without restriction (that the council thwarts those plans by not giving him the rank of master, That's why he gets so angry at the council meeting, not because of the rank that is empty to him, but because of the possibility of saving Padme from the visions that Anakin is having .And that by not granting him that rank of master, the only alternative Anakin has, even if it is desperate, is Palpatine, which is why he cannot let the Jedi kill him.
@@Facade953 m' Dude (sorry for assuming your gender), you have to compress like 4 Hrs of Movie into something of 2hrs long. . . . . .it must be complicated and more important stressful, with out mention Lucas was always changing his mind about somethings, if you could watch the interviews or the pre production videos of TPM, AOTC and ROTS
@@Facade953 This is one those cases where a show adaptation would do better than a movie. If any other legends novel were to be adapted, the format of a movie wouldn’t do them justice.
Holy cow, this feels like a masterpiece compared to the film version. I didn't even notice this takes like 8 minutes to complete, I was gripped throughout the whole scene. I wish they had the time to include this uncut in the film, it is of such pivotal importance that it would be shame to abridge it.
What a horrible fate Anakin willingly succumbed to. Hate and anger brewing in him every waking moment of his existence. Knowing that all he ever was was another pawn in Sidious' ascension to power. What had to kill Vader the most was his realization at how easily manipulated he allowed himself to be.
In the Novel Anakin or rather Knightfall Vader never bought the story from palps at all re jedi traitors. He went to the temple to punish the jedi for not recognising his power. He also planned to kill sidious upon his return from Mustafar.
@@Angyali Episode 9 should've just been that. I hope some day technology advanced so much that anyone can deep fake these actors and their voices with little to no un-canny so that you can use any actor to bring this to life.

"They wouldn't...!" "Well, I hope of course you're right, Anakin. But forgive me, if I don't share your blind loyalty in your Jedi comrades. I suppose we ultimately end up at the question of loyalty. That's the question you must ask yourself, son: does your loyalty lie with the Jedi or the Republic?" "That's... it's not like that." "Maybe not. Maybe the question is rather: do you love Obi-wan more than your wife. Take your time! Meditate on the matter! I'll still be here, once you've made your choice."
"I, I'm not on your side. I'm not evil..." "Who's talking about evil here? I bring peace to the Republic. That's evil? I offer you the power, to save Padme. That's evil? Did I attack you? Force you? Torture you? Son, I'm merely asking. I'm asking you to do exactly what you swore to."
What if he said he wanted Palpatine to admit to Jedi and senate he is the Sith Lord in a speech then tell the truth about him and Plagueis etc then work with the Jedi to destroy the Sith ?
Imagine they redid this novel for canon and included Palpatine mentioning how Ahsoka got fed up with the Jedi and left and he thinks Anakin should do the same, at 3:53 It's be so good

Don't worry. There are plenty of fanfics where Dumbledore is manipulating Harry though more to use him for his own power than wanting him to be evil.

This really adds so much more depth to Anakin’s fall to the dark side
This scene is much better then in the movie
He nearly convinced me the Sith are the future
"You. It's you. It's been you all along. I should kill you. I WILL kill you."
"...For what?"
"You're a Sith Lord!"
"I am. I am also your friend."

The way he paints the Jedi is not far from the truth, making his manipulation even stronger
This Dialogue is so captivating! The manipulations of Palpatine go deep and if you weren’t on the outside you might not notice like Anakin doesn’t
This novel is a masterpiece through and through, better than any of the movies.
The movies are still great
He came in the form of a mentor and friend but when anakin turned he treats him as a mere slave.

I've been looking foward to this!😁
