William Shakespeare's Star Wars

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.
