A review by billyjepma
William Shakespeare's The Jedi Doth Return by Ian Doescher

adventurous emotional funny lighthearted medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes

4.0

It’s the weakest of the three, just like the film it’s based on, but is still a total delight with some of the best soliloquies of the trilogy. Doescher really outdid himself with Vader’s internal monologues—it got me feeling some genuine swells of emotion while cooking dinner tonight. I’m devastated to learn that they didn’t produce audiobooks for the rest of the saga (except for The Force Awakens) because I really can’t imagine experiencing them in any other way. They’re perfect encapsulations of the joys of the films and the unique pleasures of Shakespeare’s plays, and as bummed as I am that there aren’t six more to listen to, I love that they exist at all.
