I'm reading RotS for the first time. Matthew Stover shows a lot of promise, but there are some issues that are really starting to bug me.

It's real easy to immerse myself in the story, up until he announces the same character, by name, that he has been hyping up for about a page and a half. I get tired of all the: "and this is Anakin Skywalker!" or the: "And this is Count Dooku" or "Obi Wan Kenobi!"

It keeps pulling me out of the reading. I just wish he would stop reminding me that I'm reading a book.

It makes me want to choke the man, so he will get down to the story at hand.

Yes. Timothy Zahn is still the best.
