William Shakespeare's The Jedi Doth Return by Ian Doescher
4.0
Lo! The end of the trilogy doth appear!
The final volume of William Shakespeare's Star Wars gives readers a fine iambic conclusion, in which Luke, that is nam'd Skywalker, faces his foe and father; Leia is cas'd in steel of skimpy design; and Solo is no longer solo.
I've really enjoyed these books. The structure of the original Star Wars trilogy is basically Shakespearean; all that was missing was the language, which Ian Doescher has amply supplied. Personally, I think these should be taught alongside Shakespeare in high school English classes; it'd give kids who think they can't understand Shakespeare something to hang their hats on, as it were.
