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:

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”
