WSSW (III) The Jedi Doth Return


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. Illustrated with beautiful black-and-white Elizabethan-style artwork, these two plays offer essential reading for all ages.

Something Wookiee this way comes!

The Jedi Doth Return is available from Quirk Books, and readings and reviews are on YouTube. 

Doescher's prequel trilogy will be published one by one this year, in time for the release of Episode VII - Star Wars: The Force Awakens - the first of the sequel trilogy, on December 18th:
  1. William Shakespeare's Forsooth, the Phantom Menace
  2. William Shakespeare's Alack! of the Clones
  3. William Shakespeare's Tragedy of the Sith's Revenge
