The Star Wars Trilogy Radio NPR Dramatization

[Bryancd]

Rico has mentioned this on his show a long time ago, but I just got around to listening to this production and I really liked it. It has a ton of additional backstory from Lucas original story outline that I found actually mad the tale even more interesting, although from a film pacing standpoint I can see why these scenes were cut out prior to production for the most part. There's a lot about Luke and his life on Tatooine as well as more Leia and some interesting Imperial storylines. There is a ton of exposition done through dialogue which sounds odd at times and the torture scene between Vader and Leia is downright pornographic! 
Anyone who hasn't heard this should give it a listen.

Weird you mentioned this Bryan.  I was just thinking about it today.  I'm thinking of devoting part or all of a podcast to it.  I have the whole set and love them!

[Geekyfanboy]

That would be awesome Rico.. I really enjoy these.

[Bryancd]

I would send content for you!

[Rico]

Sounds like a plan.  I'll plan for it sometime in the next few weeks and let you know.

[Bryancd]

I'll co-host!!!!! 

[Rico]

I'm planning on covering this on the July 4th weekend podcast.  Show will come out on July 6th.  So feel free to send your audio comments in before then.

Rico, I don't know if you bought the Star Wars Vault by Steve Sansweet, but there's a clip of a documentary about the making of the radio dramas on the included CD's. If you don't have it let me know and I can send you the MP3. It has some interesting info on how they'd build a scene using just audio.

[Rico]

I have it but haven't checked out the CD's yet.  Thanks for the heads up, I'll look for it.

[Bryancd]

I'm listening to ESB right now.

[Rico]

Still looking for some more audio comments to use on tomorrow's podcast when I will be covering the NPR Star Wars radio dramas.  Have a couple so far - would love more.
