Here's a cool bit of Star Wars arcana that I'd never heard of before today, an original audio adventure released on LP back in 1983 written by Brian Daley, author of the "Han Solo Adventures" novels (he also wrote the Star Wars NPR adaptations), relating an incident mentioned in passing in The Empire Strikes Back.The voice acting is just adequate, kind of on par with those old Star Trek and Space: 1999 Power Records, but the story's pretty good. Here's a download link.
Thanks to Jason for the head's up!

Very cool! I didn't know there was an audio story for Ord Mantell. I'd read the comic version years ago.
ReplyDeleteThanks, man! I saw this at a local department store when it came out but lacked the cash to get it.
ReplyDeleteWow... somehow I feel like I've seen this before or was aware of it back in the day, but I forgot all about it and never ever had a chance to listen to it. This is great, thanks for posting the link!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting, I'm a big Star Wars fan.
ReplyDeleteI just listened to it... it was actually quite good! I like this adventure better than the Ord Mantell story they did in the comics, it feels more like a "real" Star Wars story. I thought the voice acting was fine, and... was that Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime, Venger) as the narrator?
ReplyDeleteHiya, I was wondering if you knew of another download link for this story, or could dropbox it to me or something? I wish they'd included it as an extra in the NPR Radio adaptations CD boxed set.
ReplyDeletefor those still interested you can find i here
