( ) Ian Doescher delivers the goods again with this follow-up to [b:William Shakespeare's Star Wars: Verily, A New Hope|17262540|William Shakespeare's Star Wars Verily, A New Hope (William Shakespeare's Star Wars, #1)|Ian Doescher|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1363364801s/17262540.jpg|23859346]. As in the first book, Doescher puts a Shakespearean spin on familiar lines from the movies. Here are a couple of my favorites. LEIA: I know not whence thy great delusions come, thou laser brain. C3PO: Now Captain Solo, pray, a word with thee. R2D2 is still doing asides to the audience in perfectly good English, and even the monsters have soliloquies. Both the wampa, who hangs Luke up in his cave at the beginning of the movie, and the exogorth, whose unfortunate belly was a temporary parking spot for the Millennium Falcon, get a chance to explain that they're just trying to get some dinner and to bemoan the fact that their dinner fought back and got away. Doescher adds singing to the story, with the ugnaughts singing merrily as they dismantle C3PO and anticipate carbon freezing a human. Chewie and Leia get in on the action too, when they "sing a song of lament" after Han is frozen. The above, plus Luke's famous denial of "Nay!!!" when Vader says he's Luke's father and Vader's reaction of "Fie fie" as our heroes make their escape, made me giggle a lot. Star Wars and Shakespeare fans-take an hour or two and read this-it's big fun. The Afterward is worth taking an extra few minutes to read too. Hilarious. And yet when Solo comes back from being tortured, the speech he gives is excellent at conveying his pain and what Leia means to him. The author truly gets the heart of Shakespeare and places it well in Star Wars. An excellent read especially since I was only vaguely familiar with the movies this was an excellent introduction. And Yoda in haiku is still very Yoda. William Shakespear’s The Empire Striketh Back - Doescher Audio by multiple performers 3 stars LUKE: There is a tide in the affairs of Jedi. Which taken at a flood, leads to the Force.” It’s very clever. It wasn’t quite as funny as the first one, but it did give me a few giggles. Doescher was inspired to have Yoda speak in haiku even if it didn’t sound very Shakespearian. “Discover thou shalt/That wherever good is found,/Evil is nearby” I’m sure I didn’t catch all of the play references but I clearly heard: Julius Caesar, Merchant of Venice and Taming of the Shrew. Overall, it’s just silly, lightweight entertainment. Just what I needed for a few hours. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
