Nice overlap of philosophy and the Force.

This was an interesting book. If you aren't interested in Philosophy, it might be a little hard to get through. There are various authors, that are mainly professors in Philosophy, that take certain philosophical edicts and apply them to the Star Wars universe. I really didn't realize how deep George Lucas went into scripting this movie. All in all I think if you are a fan of Star Wars and have any interest at all in philosophy, then you will enjoy this book.
