If you ever read Ian Doescher’s William Shakespeare’s Star Wars books and thought, “Okay… but what if Din Djarin spoke in iambic pentameter?” — congratulations. You’re about to be rewarded.
Because yes: Ian Doescher has officially announced a new entry in the series, and this time we’re going full theater-kid in a beskar helmet.
The next book is called:
William Shakespeare’s Star Wars: The Mandalorian of Nevarro — Part the First
…and it’s scheduled to arrive April 7, 2026.
The Bard Returns — This Time With Grogu
The William Shakespeare’s Star Wars series has already done the full Skywalker Saga: Original Trilogy, Prequels, Sequels — all transformed into dramatic stage plays with monologues, stage directions, and a suspicious amount of “verily.”
But now, we’re stepping into Disney+ territory.
This new release retells The Mandalorian, specifically “Part the First,” meaning: yes, they’re treating Mando like an epic Shakespearean drama broken into acts and volumes (as they should).
If you’ve ever wanted to see someone describe blaster fire as “thunderous bolts of doom” — this is your moment.
What Is The Mandalorian of Nevarro Exactly?
According to the announcement and publisher listings, this book is:
- Written as a Shakespeare-style play
- Retelling events from The Mandalorian
- Packed with dialogue, stage direction, and Elizabethan flair
- Includes illustrations (woodcut style) that match the series vibe
In other words: it’s not “Star Wars fanfic.”
It’s “Star Wars… but performed in front of an audience that might throw tomatoes.”
Release Date: When Does It Come Out?
Release date: April 7, 2026.
That means this is very much a 2026 Star Wars book release worth tracking — especially for collectors who already own the previous volumes.
Why This Book Is Actually a Big Deal (Not Just a Joke)
On paper, this sounds like pure comedy. But the William Shakespeare’s Star Wars series has always hit a weirdly perfect sweet spot:
- It’s parody, but it’s also genuinely well-written
- The humor works even if you know nothing about Shakespeare
- The format is extremely “display shelf friendly”
- It’s one of the few Star Wars book lines that non-Star Wars people will still pick up out of curiosity
And now they’re doing The Mandalorian — one of the most mainstream Star Wars properties of the last decade. That combo is basically guaranteed to sell.
Where to Preorder It (Amazon Link)
If you want to secure it early (or just help us keep the lights on over here), you can preorder it on Amazon here:
Final Verdict: Shakespeare + Mando Is Weirdly Perfect
This shouldn’t work. But it does.
Din Djarin already has that silent, dramatic, tragic-hero energy — and Grogu is basically a mythical forest creature that wandered into the wrong play.
So yes. We’re getting a Shakespeare edition of The Mandalorian, and honestly?
This is the way.
