Beskrivelse fra Wikipedia:

William Shakespeare's Star Wars is a series of plays by Ian Doescher that parody the style of William Shakespeare, with nine instalments adapting the films of the Skywalker Saga. The plays are written as Elizabethan tragedies, mixing blank verse poetry and stage scripts with Early Modern English stock characters and orthography. Sometimes Shakespeare is quoted, or rather, rewritten, like the following in William Shakespeare's Star Wars: Verily, A New Hope:

“[Luke, holding stormtrooper helmet.]

Alas, poor stormtrooper, I knew ye not,

yet have I taken both uniform and life

From thee. What manner of a man wert thou?

A man of inf'nite jest or cruelty?

A man with helpmate and with children too?

A man who hath his Empire serv'd with pride?

A man, perhaps, who wish'd for perfect peace?

What'er thou wert, goodman, thy pardon grant

Unto the one who took thy place: e'en me.”
