Authentic meter, stage directions, reimagined movie scenes and dialogue, and hidden Easter eggs throughout will entertain and impress fans of Star Wars and Shakespeare alike. Every scene and character from the film appears in the play, along with twenty woodcut-style illustrations that depict an Elizabethan version of the Star Wars galaxy.

★★★½☆

《To the dark side of the Force,
Fear's the surest path.
Fear leads to anger,
Onward leads anger to hate,
Hate to suffering.
A bounty of fear
Is present in thy spirit—
Fear beyond measure.》
