Nay, nay! Try thou not. But do thou or do thou not, For there is no “try.” ~Yoda, Act III, Scene 7 Apparently I was not the only one put off by the excessive use of the Chorus in Verily, A New Hope. Enough people complained that Doescher mentioned it in the acknowledgments of this book and talke...
