The Force meets the Bard in Ian Doescher's William Shakespeare's Star Wars. In this very funny and well-written book, Doescher bends George Lucas' "Star Wars" into a five-act play full of Shakespeare's language, syntax and meter.
If you're not a Shakespeare fan, fear not. Doescher's language is accessible, and you'll have no trouble following it. If you're a "Star Wars" fan, this is a must read. Want to hear R2-D2 give a soliloquy? It's in there. Want to see Leia go into full-tilt Ophelia mode? It's in there. Want to know if Han or Greedo shot first? Well, that one is still up for debate.
William Shakespeare's Star Wars is a pleasant read for "Star Wars" and Shakespeare fans alike.
