May the verse be with you! The bard from Stratford ventures into a galaxy far, far away. In Shakespeare's Star Wars, two worlds collide that are rarely mentioned in the same breath. But why not? After all, the characters from Star Wars have much in common with the dramatis personae of an Elizabethan drama: there is a wise (Jedi) knight and a wicked (Sith) lord who holds a beautiful princess captive. The youthful hero rushing to the rescue is also present. Additionally, there is a battle-hardened daredevil and his loyal companion. Ian Doescher has reimagined this drama in the style of the great master for Episode IV, taking full advantage of the new medium's offerings. The result is a unique reading pleasure. The bard at his best. Complex characters, insightful monologues, and clever wordplay.
