Description: THE RETURN OF THE JEDI MOVIE CROWNED THE DRAMATIC CONCLUSION OF THE STAR WARS(c) TRILOGY. BUT HERE ARE SOME SCENES YOU HAVE NEVER WITNESSED BEFORE . . .
Luke Skywalker returns to Tatooine to build a new lightsaber with the Adegan crystals * Threepio confers with Arica, Jabba's dancing girl who is secretly the Emperor's Hand, Mara Jade * Disguised as the humble sand skiff guard Tamtel Skreej, Lando Calrissian plots with Princess Leia in anticipation of Luke's arrival at Jabba's palace * The Millennium Falcon narrowly escapes the Imperial blockade of Tatooine * The Rebels outline their strategies in the Alliance briefing room before launching the fateful assault against the second Death Star
The six episodes of this new radio dramatization script are packed with crucial new scenes and colorful dialogue. And a behind-the-mike introduction by the one and only C-3PO, Anthony Daniels, offers us a rare glimpse into the recording studio, highlighting the challenges they faced in bringing this thrilling sci-fi classic to life on radio with only sound effects, vivid descriptions, and the actor's voices to set the stage and maintain the thrilling pace.
The story of Return of the Jedi is back as you've never seen it before. You just may never look at Star Wars(c) the same way again!

Review Summary: This Radio Drama Inspired Me To Create My Own!!! :D |

Details: Thank you Mr. Brian Daley for expanding a good story and making it GREAT!
If I haven't heard it on NPR when I was young or read the book years later, I
would not have created my own radio drama. If you love radio dramas and
science fiction, please visit my web site below. May the force be with you,
always.....

Review Summary: Very Interesting |

Details: My main purpose in ordering this book was to find out what had been cut from the series after its first airing. I have only heard the second version that was aired, which was released on cassette and CD. I must say the small edits that were made, and they were all infinitesimal, actually make the audio series better. They're little excesses that when removed clearly improve the flow of the series. The one bit I wish they had left in was an extended exchange between Han and Luke before the turret sequence. Han tells Luke to lead his targets and "Invest in the future", a classic Han-sounding line.
It should be noted that this appears to be a first or second draft of the script. This becomes obvious when Heater is referred to several times as "Preacher" which I assume was the first name of the character in the script. Also, the dialogue overall is not as polished as it is in the series. Editing may have been done by someone other than Daley, or even the actors themselves, which would explain why Daley only had this version to give to the publisher.
If you've never listened to the series, do so before buying the book. I think it's much more interesting as an example of how editing can turn good writing into great writing than as a piece of writing itself. |

Review Summary: New perspective of the classic tale |

Details: After reading the books and listening to the audio adaptions, I can't watch the movies anymore. Buy the CDs/Cassetes...to borrow a line from Garrison Keillor, the pictures are better. Anthony Daniels intro and insight was worth the jacket price. |

Review Summary: A very nice item for Star Wars fans |

Details: I am a Star Wars fan, like most everyone else in my generation. If you are like me, having lived and breathed Star Wars at one time or another during your life, you really owe it to yourself to listen to the Star Wars Radio Drama casettes, available from Amazon. Click here, here and here to link to the casette versions, although I found a boxed set of CDs from Amazon that really kicked. These audio versions are terrific, offering tons of material not in the movies, background on all characters, great acting by Anthony Danielt and Mark Hamil, great audio and sound effects, and much more. Recommended to all Gen X'ers. END |
