A Goodreads user asked Ian Doescher:

Which of the movies was the easiest to adapt to Shakespeare? Which one was the hardest?

Ian Doescher The prequels were among the hardest, mostly because I'm less familiar with them than with the original trilogy, and also because there is so much political back-and-forth of allegiances and things like that. I had to make sure I understood what was going on! Probably "easiest" was Return of the Jedi, mostly because I was much more comfortable with the language by then, and it has always been my favorite. (Don't hate me, Empire lovers!) :-)
