LUKE: With faith in the Force and friendship's bond, No power shall stand against our righteous cause.
(Exeunt, as the assembly cheers and celebrates their victory)
THE END
OK, that was really great. But it was abbreviated. Let's try to do it more true to the original storyline, just in a Shakespearean style and with Shakespearean language. Let's be sure also that Obi-Wan, Leia, Vader, Tarkin, and C-3PO speak in iambic pentameter, whereas Han speaks in prose, and Luke switches depending on the context. Ready? Let's do Act 1.
