I wish this was a real play. I wish definitely pay to see it on stage. It would be so much fun! Star Wars is the perfect movie to be adapted into a Shakespearean play because it's super melodramatic.

You can tell the author had fun with this book. Every character has a different speech pattern (the author goes more in depth with this in the author's note), there are tons of modern references (I spotted at least one Hamilton reference), and Han had a whole mobologue mocking the fact that The Force Awakens is extremely similar to A New Hope. And Chewbacca finally got some lines. His speech (view spoiler).

I can't wait until The Last Jedi is adapted, and I really hope they adapt Rogue One!
