Empress Cinder asked Ian Doescher:

How hard is it to portray a Star Wars character's personality when using Shakespearean language and grammar?

Ian Doescher Once you get past being able to write in something like Shakespeare's language, it's not too hard. Shakespeare's style -- particularly with asides to the audience and soliloquies -- is well-suited to delving into a character. And it's a lot of fun, too! :-)
