William Shakespeare’s The Merry Rise of Skywalker by Ian Doescher arrives on 28th July and StarWars.com brings us an excerpt which you can read by clicking here.

SCENE 1.
On Mustafar and Exegol.
Enter Kylo Ren.
KYLO 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: 5
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, 10
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. 15
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
