I don’t know why, but mashups, parodies, and cross-overs are my favorite things in the world. There is something amazing about the comic books where Indiana Jones discovers the crashed Millenium Falcon and the comic book series where Doctor Who and Captain Picard team up to defeat the Borg and the Cybermen. Of course, it goes without being said that I’m a pretty big Weird Al Yankovic fan. And, although I’m not much of a book nerd, I was pretty excited when I saw Pride and Prejudice and Zombies sitting on the bookshelf at Target.

Much to my delight, this morning I was listening to yesterday’s episode of Tech News Today when I heard in the Randomizer segment that there has been bestowed upon us a proper retelling of the epic “saga of a wise (Jedi) knight and an evil (Sith) lord, of a beautiful princess held captive and a young hero coming of age” in Elizabethan English. Yes, William Shakespeare’s Star Wars is a real thing. It happened. And, to make it more beautifully wonderful, there’s a book trailer!

Ever shall the Force remain with thee.
