This week on Twitter, Star Wars fans are trying their hand at re-imagining a galaxy far, far again from the Bard’s perspective. By using the hashtag #ShakespeareStarWars fans have been quoting famous Shakespeare plays with Star Wars characters.
Here’s a listing of some of our favorites:

You forgot about @hansolo
Is this a blaster which I see before me, the handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee and shoot first.
Yeah, pretty funny. Star Wars fans are the best
Here’s another one ; “To be or not to be a clone”
this one even has a picture: http://www.flickr.com/photos/st3f4n/3459513455/in/set-72157616350171741/
As the author of Hamluke (a Star Wars version of Hamlet) and directing three different productions, I found the audience had a great reaction to Wedgecisco’s line, “There’s something rotten in the state of Deathstark!”
Those are great!
The forest moon of Endor may be named after the forest of
Arden in As You Like It.
