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'er thou wert, goodman, thy pardon grant Unto the one who took thy place: e'en me.” All three volumes were subsequently released as William Shakespeare's Star Wars Trilogy: The Royal Box Set.
