People ask me whether I see 'Star Wars' as a comedy or a tragedy, but it's really neither - it's partly a history, like 'Henry V,' and partly a fantasy, like 'The Tempest.'

Thou truly art in jest. Art thou not small/Of stature, if thou art a stormtrooper?

O help/ Me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, help. Thou art/ Mine only hope.

In many ways, 'William Shakespeare's Star Wars' is modeled on Shakespeare's Henry V, which relied on a chorus to explain in words the battles of Harfleur and Agincourt that could never be captured on the Elizabethan stage.

... Corellian curses being a synergistic blend of vulgarity, obscenity, and outright blasphemy that were the only things really worth saying when one was in the middle of being blown to monatomic dust.

I didn't see 'Star Wars' in theaters until George Lucas re-tweaked it.
