Book 6

Book 5

The Jedi Doth Return Act V and Afterword - The author's favourite and the challenge of inventing yet another new language for the Ewoks.

The Jedi Doth Return Act IV - Another very short Act but with the immortal words, "'Tis a trap!"

The Jedi Doth Return Act III - Ewoks!

The Jedi Doth Return Act II - The shortest Act which is just manoeuvring characters into the right locations for the rest of the story.

The Jedi Doth Return Act I - Tatooine rescue. Longest of the Acts so far, even though shortest book.

The Empire Striketh Back Act V (and Afterword, etc) - I'm only now realising that if Luke had stayed on Dagobah, the end of the movie would have been exactly the same, but he would still have his hand. And not have his first unhealthy family revelation. Also turns out Shakespeare's Yoda was speaking in haikus.

The Empire Striketh Back Act IV - On Bespin's Cloud City, guards commenting that Empire structures are always built with walkways next to bottomless shafts 🤣

The Empire Striketh Back Act III - Training and exogorths

The Empire Striketh Back Act II - The challenge of getting Yoda's speech in iambic pentameter. Not always successful.

The Empire Striketh Back Act I - Hoth "exit pursued by a wampa"

Verily A New Hope Act V - Lots of pre battle soliloquys and an afterword on the link between Shakespeare and Star Wars (archetypal characters etc). Not bad for his first book.

Verily A New Hope Act IV - Inside the Death Star. Guards acting as Shakespearean comic relief.

Verily A New Hope Act III - Mos Eisley to the Death Star.

Verily A New Hope Act II - Enter Obi Wan, who through necessary asides reveals to the audience that he knows Vader's true identity.
