William Shakespeare's The Empire Striketh Back by Ian Doescher (2014) 5★♥
(William Shakespeare's Star Wars: Book 2)

Another good one. Focused a bit more on Han and Leia's romance. Loved Yoda! He speaks in Haiku!

The first parody book was a little better I thought. But I still enjoyed book 2. It went more into the romance of Han and Leia. And there was a lot more longer monologues (aside dialogue too). It's fun and short.

Favorite quotes:

Act II: scene 7
Yoda:
"O, great warrior!
A great warrior you seek?
Wars not make one great.

But soft, no more of
Talking, for my appetite
Dinner demandeth."


Act V: scene 7
Luke:
"Encounters unexpected we did meet
With masters wise and persons unforeseen.
These are the star wars, yet they are not done—
For sure, the final chapter’s just begun."
