Play Book Tag discussion

I know that my rating of this book is colored by my intense dislike of the movie. But the heart of any book is the story, and if the story sucks, then no amount of wonderful Shakespearean poetry and prose can make up for it.

I liked that he made Jar-Jar more bearable by giving him asides that showed his idiocy was a pretense. What surprised me was the hint of immaculate conception of Anakin's mother that I never caught in the movie, and I wonder now if it was there in the original material or if it's an invention of Doescher's. Regardless, it's cringey.

So my rating is 2.5, and I will round up only because I think Doescher's whole idea of Shakespearizing Star Wars is a brilliant concept and he has executed it admirably, and a component of that admiration is he did it pretty concisely!
