Verily, ‘tis hilarious to read the original Star Wars trilogy in Elizabethan English! (‘Tis also true it doth not take much to amuse me, so taketh that for what ‘tis worth.) ‘Tis so hilarious that thou mayest find thyself engaged in laughter until yon wee wee runneth down thine leg as if a floodgate hath opened. Get thee to a bookstore so thou mayest purchase these books in order to read them forthwith!

These Star Wars Shakespeare adaptations are so fun. 😊 Would love to see one performed live sometime.

This is a collection for only the truest nerd, a complete retelling of the Star Wars series in the form of a Shakespearean play.

Pre-New Years shopping, which really doesn't mean anything except I went shopping before New Years. 😂

"Although we find not Leia, let us find some hope within these woods." Although this is as sexist as you would expect Shakespearean Star Wars to be, it's still kind of wonderful. And these voice actors clearly LOVE their jobs. #Yallfest

I needed something light and fun after the new of the election, and this book did not let me down. So much fun. Shakespeare + star wars = serious nerd love.

Hilarious and wacky--for Star Wars fans and skeptics alike! Doescher masterfully weaves Shakespeare's style with the classic space drama--a fitting match. Insightful interpretations of quiet and minor characters (like Lando and R2-D2) have voices which give them more dimension. From muses, stage directions, witty wordplay, and moody monologues, this trilogy provides all the elements for a perfect performance in the readers' minds! Recommended 🖒😁

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I loved these... Great on audiobook too, read by a cast as a play! 8y
bmsddk @Riveted_Reader_Melissa They must be so fun on audio!! Did they cast the voice roles well? 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @bmsddk I thought so, I really enjoyed them....like all 'Shakespearean' plays they are great to read and even better when you hear them preformed. 8y

bmsddk @Riveted_Reader_Melissa This would be a great series to read aloud in a book club ☺ 8y
TsundokuAleax I have been debating about borrowing these from the library but had never heard about them before. Might have to give these a try! 8y
bmsddk @TsundokuAleax They're great quick reads! If/when you get a chance to read them, I'm curious to know what you think ☺ Are you a Star Wars and/or Shakespeare fan? 8y
TsundokuAleax @bmsddk A huge Shakespeare fan and a slight Star Wars fan. Hence my aprehesion about reading it but I never feel bad about library picks that I bail on. 8y
bmsddk @TsundokuAleax One of the benefits of libraries! It would be fun to compare our opinions, since I'm the opposite -- a huge (but critical) Star Wars fan and a slight Shakespeare fan 😆 I thought he did a good job at capturing both. 8y
