When I was about 7 years old, my Dad brought home a collection of audio tapes that contained the 6.5 hour 1981 NPR broadcast of the radio version of Star Wars. Adapted by novelist Brian Daley, this series provides a rich back story to the original movie. Its' sound effects, musical score, and craftsmanship have been called the most ambitious radio project in history. As a boy, I listened to these tapes every night before falling asleep.
And now the entire series is available on 6 CDs via the NPR store. This one is well worth having.
Did they do this for any of the other two movies in the trilogy, or just Episode IV?
Yes!! The empire Strikes Back was also done and after a delay of over 13 years The Return of the Jedi was also made with most of the original cast and witer :D
I will treasure them always!!
Dream Well!
