I went to borders today and saw that it was 30 percent off. Just a guess, but is it that low because most everyone hasnt bought it due keeping the element of suprise sacred? I know I didnt get it, and it was painful.....but I cant read that book before I see the movie.

I went out yesterday and grabbed "The Making of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith",
"Revenge of the Sith: Incredible Cross-Sections", and the "Revenge of the Sith Novelization".
I love the new ICS, but the wealth of information on each ship seems to be lacking when compared to the AOTC:ICS, unfortunately.
I paged through the "making of" book, and was at first happy to see the "Millennoum Falcon" (as its named in the book) making an appearance in ROTS. Unfortunately, it seems the ILM team scanned that inaccurate "code 3" or ERTL model Falcon rather than the one that appeared in the OT. It hasthose "fat" sidewalls indicative of the inaccurate models available to the public. What's going on? The alleged "Tantive 4" looks like the West End Games version in the ROTSVisual Dictionary, rather than the one in the OT as well. Was it too much of a hassle to scan the OT models?

Ok ... The Adobe version of the Illustrated screenplay is fabulous - but I really would have liked to read it on my Pocket PC as well, but it says that it is unable to "prepare" it - is it not able to be viewed on pocket pc?
(I have learnt an awful lot more about my pocket pc today through all of this...) |

Well, I've got the illustrated sceenplay - after over an hour's frustration trying to download it onto my Microsoft Reader I gave up and bought a second copy for Adobe ... but it was worth it! 
Still haven't been able to get The Making Of yet though. It seems that it is one thing that the Australian stores are running late with... |

Just so everyone knows - the BC&T spoiler discussion thread for the novelistation itself has been opened now:
http://f orums.starwars.com/thread.jspa?threadID=211024&tstart=0
I'm hoping to get the illustrated screenplay the minute it's available, and I'm off to buy the Visual Dictionary and The Making of, if I can find them, as soon as I finish here. 
The final chapter of the Making of, available to HS at the moment and I think to everyone soon, is fabulous. |

Well I live way the heck out in the middle of nowhere, so I had to order my copy of the EPIII novelization from Amazon.com. So if im lucky maybe i'll get it before the movie comes out, but who knows.

NOVELIZATION SPOILERS
The novelization is amazing. Stover's approach to the individual characterss and his "This is what it's like to be Anakin Skywalker right now" segments are great. Oddly, though, I have to wonder how much is different in his approach. Tarfful and Chewie don't appear anywhere in the novelization. But with the great writing and the exceptional vocal work for the audiobook reader, I barely noticed that they were gone.
A few other quick notes on it:
1. Reference is made to Mace fighting Grievous on the train in LOE, so (WOOHOO!) LOE is being referenced rather than the Clone Wars versionof the chase from 500 Republica.
2. Once agian, in the novel, just as in Clone Wars and elsewhere, Padme sees his scar from Ventress for the first time. Maybe she has selective amnesia.

The excerpt of the novelization is incredible. Mat Stover has officially made the Big Three into the Big Four of SW novelists (Tim Zahn, Mike Stackpole, Greg Keyes, Matt Stover, no particular order)...
