Return once more to a galaxy far, far away with this sublime retelling of George Lucas's epic Star Wars in the style of the immortal Bard of Avon. The saga of a wise (Jedi) knight and an evil (Sith) lord, of a beautiful princess held captive and a young hero coming of age, Star Wars abounds with all the valor and villainy of Shakespeare's greatest plays. 'Tis a tale told by fretful droids, full of faithful Wookiees and fearsome Stormtroopers, signifying...pretty much everything.
William Shakespeare's Star Wars will astound and edify Rebels and Imperials alike. Zounds! This is the audiobook you're looking for.

Where does William Shakespeare's Star Wars rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is easily the funnest audio book I've had the pleasure of listening to thus far.Who was your favorite character and why?
As far as this novel goes, right now I'm caught between C-3PO and Han Solo. C-3PO is already a very dramatic character and hearing his narrative in William Shakespeare's Star Wars made me laugh aloud. Han Solo's stubbornness was also magnified by the narrative's style and made me love the character more.Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
The multiple narrators here were absolutely perfect. I was particularly happy about Daniel Davis being one of them. As far as I could tell, he read the chorus and did a fantastic job.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
There's already a film for this book so I'll just ignore this question...Super Fun

Voice acting is excellent, and engineering is well done. The sound effects are balanced and ne'er o'er shadow the narration but compliment it.
The only thing I didn't entirely like was that some of R2-D2's lines are literally written out as "Beep, whistle, squeak..."etc., whereas I would much rather have the sound effect beeping from the movie. However this too is by design, as his lines are ALSO in iambic pentameter!
Bloody Brilliant!
