William Shakespeare's The Jedi Doth Return by Ian Doescher

3 Stars

 

Not since ol' Harold Hecuba showed up on Gilligan's Island has Shakespeare been so much fun . . .



This is the third time Billy Shakes has done Star Wars so what do I even say? I'll tell you what I say. Not much because it's Super Bowl Sunday and I'm earning my Wife of the Year Award by making a shitpile of food for the men in my house to gorge their faces on this evening. I'm also about 47 reviews behind for the year and fell into a porno scientific journal rabbit hole yesterday on top of battling f-ing Monkey Pox or Ziki Ziki or some crazy shit virus that won't go away and makes me sound like I have emphysema so when it comes to this "review" I'll tell you what I tell my kids: You get what you get and you don't throw a fit.

Alright, so just like the film this is numero six three in the series. The plot is followed to the T - it's just told in olde timey speak. If you have a Star Wars nerd in your life these books are kind of a necessity to add to their collection. After all, they probably have everything else.

Like the original Millenium Falcon (and box) . . .



Or they realize that Star Wars merch is the perfect gift for EVERY occasion . . .

Like Mother's Day . . .



Or Valentine's Day . . .



Or the wife's birthday . . .



Or "Wal-Mart is boring and sometimes you have to just say eff it to toilet paper and other grown-up stuff and go look at the kid stuff" . . .



Or when you need to fill a prescription and discover Walgreens now has "exclusive Pop Vinyls" . . .



This one's supposed to be for the oldest child, but just look at Mitchell's face. Who can resist that charm?????

Whatever the reason, there is something Star Wars for it . . . .



Even the Doctor agrees.
