William Shakespeare's The Empire Striketh Back

De: Ian Doescher

Narrado por: Various

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.

As with the movies, even better than the 1st

As with the movies, this play is even better than the first. The added hilarity that Marc Thompson, who reads most of the good Star Wars audiobooks anyway, is cast here is just icing on a cake of perfection.
Roll up! Roll up! Roll up for the third play in our series!

Liked the first one? You'll love the sequel.

I had a blast with Verily, A New Hope, and multiple listens gave me something new to appreciate in that venerable old tale. I'm guessing you did too, otherwise why would you be seeking this one out? The Empire Striketh Back proves to hit the same marks. On the surface, it's just fun. The actors clearly had as much fun performing it as I did listening. Combine that with the John Williams music and the classic sound effects, it's hard not to love this. Where else will you hear dialogue for a wampa, a space slug, and an AT-AT walker?

As with the original, I want very much to see this performed on a stage in an all-out production. A work like this just demands the full treatment.

Hilarious!!

Great fun!!! l couldn't help roaring with laughter whenever Lando spoke! I highly recommend it!!

Most excellent

Talking AT-AT's and Wompa. Yoda was perfect. Love the inner monologue pieces. Time to start the next one!

I love the acting. the best! I wish other books were like this. I love the author's creativity.
