Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Hot on the heels of the New York Times best seller William Shakespeare's Star Wars comes the next two installments of the original trilogy- William Shakespeare's The Empire Striketh Back and William Shakespeare's The Jed Doth Return . Return to the star-crossed galaxy far, far away as the brooding young hero, a power-mad emperor, and their jesting droids match wits, struggle for power, and soliloquize in elegant and impeccable iambic pentameter. Illustrated with beautiful black-and-white Elizabethan-style artwork, these two plays offer essential reading for all ages.
"Lucas Books."
A retelling of The Empire strikes back in iambic pentameter, the style of Shakespeare. Many a fortnight have passed since the destruction of the Death Star, and the evil Darth Vader has hatched a plan to capture the rebels. Will Lord Vader learn how sharper than a tauntaun's tooth it is to have a Jedi child?
