Entertaining and engaging, this new follow-up to Wisdom’s bestseller The Dharma of Star Wars stands on its own and will captivate a broad audience with the Star Wars story from a Buddhist perspective.

Did you ever wonder why R2-D2 is:
Always calm and cool under pressure,
The key to the rebellion’s survival,
The one who never fails to save the day?

Could it be because he’s secretly a Zen master?

Discover your inner R2—and the truth about who you really are!

This delightful and illuminating romp unfolds in the form of a fictional dialogue between the author—a die-hard Star Wars devotee with a deep connection to Zen—and two cosplayers dressed as C-3PO and R2-D2 who insist on being called by their character names. Along the way, you’ll come to see what everyone’s favorite astromech can teach us about peace, happiness, and life’s true meaning.

A sort of "Buddhism for Dummies" drawing on imagery from the Lucas movies.

Even though I'm not much of a fan of the Star Wars trilogy, I was entertained and edified by Bartolin's approach here -- even if occasionally I think he had to make a bit of a stretch to make his comparitive analysis.
