#rots novelization

i was reading the "execute order sixty-six" moment in the novelisation, my heart was being broken into pieces once again, and then cody said something along the lines of "well, couldn't this mysterious figure in black coat have phoned me like a minute before i gave obi wan his lightsaber back" and it had me in hysterics for like two minutes straight. because this guy was just given the order to execute his general, the chip in his head made him think it was his own decision but his first reaction was "okay, my jedi is strong though, what do i do". and then he was almost successful because cody is a professional. the whole situation is absurd, funny and heartbreaking, and when i stop laughing i'm gonna throw up.

Being obsessed w Star Wars and specifically the RotS novelization is crazy because like to me it’s a Greek tragedy. It’s a Shakespeare play. It’s about generational trauma. The main character is a viscerally portrayed victim of grooming. It’s about the love that couldn’t save anyone and the love that saved everyone. And then you close the book and remember jazz is called jizz
