Experience the Star Wars saga reimagined as an Elizabethan drama penned by William Shakespeare himself, complete with authentic meter and verse, and theatrical monologues and dialogue by everyone from Yoda to a hungry wampa.
Many a fortnight have passed since the destruction of the Death Star. Young Luke Skywalker and his friends have taken refuge on the ice planet of Hoth, where the evil Darth Vader has hatched a cold-blooded plan to capture them. Only with the help of a little green Jedi Master—and a swaggering rascal named Lando Calrissian—can our heroes escape the Empire's wrath. And only then will Lord Vader learn how sharper than a tauntaun's tooth it is to have a Jedi child.
Authentic meter, stage directions, reimagined movie scenes and dialogue, and hidden Easter eggs throughout will entertain and impress fans of Star Wars and Shakespeare alike. Every scene and character from the film appears in the play, along with twenty woodcut-style illustrations that depict an Elizabethan version of the Star Wars galaxy.What light through Yoda's window breaks? Methinks you'll find out in the pages of The Empire Striketh Back!

The story is well know. Movie 5. It starts with the question who Yoda is and ends with one of the most meaningful sentence in moviehistory and a Showdown. I really bet that writing the book in Shakespearean English wasn't easy. A challenge at least. On some parts I thought that the author went a bit too far. But it works - for me at least. You may know how Yoda actually speaks but the whole book is more or less in that way. How to keep Yoda different? In the afterword Ian Doescher wrote that it's Haiku. Which fits really good. I like the long speeches and the Shakespeare drama like. If you are looking for something special and different: this is a good alternative to Star Wars and Shakespeare.
