Have
you ever thought what if Shakespeare had written Star Wars? Yeah me neither, it’s
not really something one thinks about, but luckily for us Ian Doescher did and
what a transformation. He wrote a book called William Shakespeare’s Star Wars
and made a small vídeo giving us a taste of what we can expect.
I
wonder if Lucas had anything to do with this?, since he is so found of
tinkering with the original movies and story.
“Return
once more to a galaxy far, far away with this sublime retelling of George
Lucas's epic Star Wars in the style of the immortal Bard of Avon. The saga of a
wise (Jedi) knight and an evil (Sith) lord, of a beautiful princess held
captive and a young hero coming of age, Star Wars abounds with all the valor
and villainy of Shakespeare's greatest plays. 'Tis a tale told by fretful
droids, full of faithful Wookiees and fearsome stormtroopers,
signifying...pretty much everything.
Reimagined
in glorious iambic pentameter—and complete with twenty gorgeous Elizabethan
illustrations--William Shakespeare's Star Wars will astound and edify Rebels
and Imperials alike. Zounds! This is the book you're looking for.
IAN
DOESCHER has loved Shakespeare since eighth grade and was born 45 days after
Star Wars Episode IV was released. He has a B.A. in Music from Yale University,
a Master of Divinity from Yale Divinity School, and a Ph.D. in Ethics from
Union Theological Seminary. Ian lives in Portland, Oregon, with his wife and
two sons. This is his first book.”
