Love all the angst of a YA novel but want it set in-universe?
Try Star Wars: Lost Stars by Claudia Gray

Enrolling at the Imperial Academy together to become fighter pilots for the glorious Empire is nothing less than a dream come true for Thane Kyrell and Ciena Ree (spoiler alert—Thane is from a wealthy family and Ciena is from a rural village—so obviously they are totally in love).  But Thane sours on the dream when he sees firsthand the horrific tactics the Empire uses to maintain its ironclad rule. Bitter and disillusioned, Thane joins the fledgling Rebellion—putting Ciena in an unbearable position to choose between her loyalty to the Empire and her love for the man she's known since childhood. Now on opposite sides of the war, will these friends-turned-foes find a way to be together, or will duty tear them—and the galaxy—apart?

So grown up and erudite that it hurts?
Perhaps a Bard/Jedi mashup is what you are looking for?
William Shakespeare’s Star Wars: Verily, A New Hope by Ian Doescher

Return once more to a galaxy far, far away with this sublime retelling of George Lucas's epic Star Wars in the style of the immortal Bard of Avon. The saga of a wise (Jedi) knight and an evil (Sith) lord, of a beautiful princess held captive and a young hero coming of age, Star Wars abounds with all the valor and villainy of Shakespeare's greatest plays. 'Tis a tale told by fretful droids, full of faithful Wookiees and fearsome Stormtroopers, signifying ... pretty much everything.
