Summary

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 Jedi 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. These two plays offer essential listening for all ages. Something Wookiee this way comes!

Read by Daniel Davis, Jonathan Davis, Ian Doescher, Jeff Gurner, January LaVoy, and Marc Thompson.

brilliant!

loved it - would recommend any star wars fan to listen to the whole trilogy - listening to it made me play the movie in my mind with the funny moments Ian Doescher adds.

Brilliant, inspiring. Amusing

Really good. Would like to see it as a bundle of three. Can I request Lord of the rings using the movie scripts? And the colour of magic by Terry pratchet. Or wyrd sisters (the parody of Macbeth)
