William Shakespeare's Star Wars by Ian Doescher

William Shakespeare's Star Wars (William Shakespeare's Star Wars, #4)

by Ian Doescher

May the verse be with you! Inspired by one of the greatest creative minds in the English language - and William Shakespeare - here is an officially licensed retelling of George Lucas' 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. Reimagined in glorious iambic pentameter, William Shakespeare's Star Wars will astound and edify learners and masters alike. Zounds! This is the book you're looking for.

What if Shakespeare had come up with the Star Wars first? One word can only describe this quirky bit of writing. Hilarious! Certainly not for Star Wars fans, nor fans of the bard. However it certainly is an enjoyable read nonetheless. I look forward to reading the next volume. in the series.
