Ian Doescher Quotes

O help/ Me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, help. Thou art/ Mine only hope. -Leia Organa Picture Quote #1

The hardest part of writing ‘William Shakespeare’s Star Wars’ was probably the sheer amount of iambic pentameter and tiptoeing around certain scenes I knew would be hot-button issues for ‘Star Wars’ fans Picture Quote #1

I grew up with the ‘Star Wars’ movies since before I have many memories. We had them on VHS back in the day, so they were part of the fabric of growing up in my family Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The Ewoks were definitely a challenge of writing ‘The Jedi Doth Return.’ After having done so many things with characters who don’t speak English, how was I going to make them stand out? Jedi is also rich with emotional material, particularly Darth Vader’s transformation from the dark side back to the good Picture Quote #1

I had great English teachers in high school who first piqued my interest in Shakespeare. Each year, we read a different play - ‘Othello,’ ‘Julius Caesar,’ ‘Macbeth,’ ‘Hamlet’ - and I was the nerd in class who would memorize soliloquies just for the fun of it Picture Quote #1

In writing ‘William Shakespeare’s Star Wars,’ I had the freedom to go beyond the original script and add asides, soliloquys and even new scenes. The main characters all get a soliloquy or two - or in Luke’s case, several Picture Quote #1

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.’ Picture Quote #1

If flurries be the food of quests, snow on Picture Quote #1

I do a lot of writing in my capacity as the creative director for a marketing agency. These days, though, I’m trying to write a little bit most evenings just to keep the creative juices flowing Picture Quote #1

Trying to write while I’m distracted definitely doesn’t work for me. I’m also a compulsive saver of my files, so every writing session ends with me emailing what I’ve written to myself, just in case Picture Quote #1
