StarWars.com shares an exclusive excerpt from The Merry Rise of Skywalker, the final book in the celebrated retelling of the Skywalker Saga by Ian Doescher in his Star Wars as Shakespeare series.
Two rivals, both alike in dignity,
Among the planets, where we lay our scene—
Yet only one shall rule the galaxy.
Unto my solo voice of potency,
A voice was added—bygone Palpatine:
Two rivals, both alike in dignity.
Whate’er his purpose, he shall bend to me.
His bold revival cometh unforeseen,
Yet only one shall rule the galaxy.
And Rey, the young, prodigious Jedi she,
Hath talent like to mine, though she is green—
Two rivals, both alike in dignity.
The day will come when she shall bend the knee,
When we will reign in peace and might serene—
Yet only one shall rule the galaxy.
On both sides I am press’d most ardently,
But in my triumph none may intervene.
Two rivals, both alike in dignity—
Yet only one shall rule the galaxy.
Take the link below to read when Kylo Ren meets Emperor Palpatine in the first act.
