William Shakespeare's The Empire Striketh Back
Hot on the heels of the New York Times bestseller William Shakespeare’s Star Wars comes the next installment of the original trilogy: William Shakespeare’s The Empire Striketh Back. Many a fortnight have passed since the destruction of the Death Star. Young Luke Skywalker and his friends have taken refuge on the ice planet of Hoth, where the evil Darth Vader has hatched a cold-blooded plan to capture them. Only with the help of a little green Jedi Master—and a swaggering rascal named Lando Calrissian—can our heroes escape the Empire’s wrath. And only then will Lord Vader learn how sharper than a tauntaun’s tooth it is to have a Jedi child.
This audiobook is read by Daniel Davis, Jonathan Davis, Ian Doescher, Jeff Gurner, January LaVoy, and Marc Thompson.

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."
