“A quirky addition to the genre-busting canon” (Entertainment Weekly), Ian Doescher’s New York Times bestselling debut novel, William Shakespeare’s Star Wars retells George Lucas’s epic space opera in the style of the Bard. The saga of a wise (Jedi) knight and an evil (Sith) lord, a captive princess, and a young hero emerging, Star Wars abounds with the trappings of Shakespeare’s greatest plays. In the next two installments of the original trilogy, William Shakespeare’s The Empire Striketh Back and William Shakespeare’s The Jedi Doth Return, a brooding hero, a power-crazed emperor, and their jesting droids match wits in perfect iambic pentameter in a galaxy far, far away.
