The Star Wars Trilogy Radio NPR Dramatization

Bryancd · June 20, 2008, 04:56:16 PM

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! :jawdrop
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!

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 · June 25, 2008, 06:27:06 AM

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

I'm listening to ESB right now.
