Luke perdió la mano, Han está congelado en carbonita, Leia, Lando, 3PO, R2 y Chewy planean rescatar a Han. Y eso no es todo, tenemos que saber qué pasará con Luke y su padre.

Yup another wonderful take of Star Wars in funny Shakespeare form.

This trilogy is brilliant and brilliantly done.

For me, this last installment was all about page 113. It illustrates perfectly why I continued to read all the books and why I was looking forward to this one so very much.

Another seriously delightful romp through the Star Wars universe. I love that Doescher's brain put these two things together. The sound effects and the vocal impersonations of each character add so much to the performance of this book. AND I love the rules that Doescher made for himself in writing this -- for example, Yoda only speaks in haiku.

I liked it and what pushed my rating from 3.5 to 4 is the very last scene between Luke and Darth. Doescher really fleshed out the characters and their thoughts...on some of them.
Dislikes: the way he wrote the Ewoks language (I didn't expect internal thoughts but it was...annoying), the lack of internal dialogue of Jabba, and the lack of chorus. Doescher mentioned in Empire Striketh Back that he got some flack on the chorus narrating battle scenes but it makes more sense to me to have them narrate than an actual character. I so wanted to hear Jabba's thoughts, and not in Huttese!! Jabba is this big time gangster warlord of Tattoine and we don't really know anything about him. Maybe Doescher eliminated his thoughts to keep in line with some Shakespeare thing but I missed Jabba. Side note: Jabba is one of my all time favorite Star Wars characters so I wanted to know more about him.
Maybe I'm experiencing Star Wars/Shakespeare fatigue but I found this part of the trilogy to be the least exciting and clever. I don't know if it was the writing or the lack of newness. Still, you gotta read it if only to complete the set.
