Here’s an interesting Star Wars fan film called Squad Leader Td-73023 that combines the Star Wars franchise with Shakespeare. Here’s the description that came along with the short explaining the purpose of the video:
To be or not to be: Star Wars meets Shakespeare. Hamlet’s famous soliloquy is presented as the inner voice of a Stormtrooper, demonstrating the way Shakespeare’s language still echoes down to us through the centuries and remains as relevant today as ever---not to mention as well in a galaxy far, far away…
The film was created by Maxime-Claude L'Écuyer and it’s a nice little filmmaking exercise that some of you might enjoy. It definitely gives a level of emotion to the Stormtroopers that we’ve never seen before.

"Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer..." Nothing like a mashup of Star Wars and Shakespeare. Most stories are already inspired by Shakespeare, but this is an attempt to bring Shakespeare's dialogue right into the iconic Star Wars universe. Squad Leader Td-73028 Soliloquy is a short film directed by Maxime-Claude L'Écuyer from Montreal. The short features Hamlet's famous soliloquy presented as the inner voice of a Stormtrooper, emphasizing how relevant this dialogue still is (and will always be). The film stars David Blouin in the armor (as Td-73028), plus Anton Golikov as his voice. As simple as this may seem, there's some elegance in the presentation - thanks to the cinematography and score, and the emotional recitation. Presented by Tulp Films.
