star wars

I was just reading a book called Classics and Thrash by
Harriet Hawkins and found the following :

"...Shakespeare's 'spirits of gentler sort', such as Puck
and Ariel, have most recently been reincarnated as R2D2 and
C-3PO, just as Prospero is the prototype of Obiwan-Kenobi
--'The Force is with them."

I thought it was brilliant...any thoughts anybody?
