I am not a fan of Star Wars in any way near the way I'm a fan of Star Trek but the original film* remains one of my all-time favorites; it was the near perfect recasting of the archetypal (Western, at any rate) hero myth into a science-fiction setting. For all its adumbrations of Lucas' shortcomings as a director and writer, the film worked on every level for me.

Grat dramatization of a beloved series. The radio drama has music from the movies and sound effects that bring the CDs to life and makes listeng to the story that happened ''A long time ago in a galexy far far away'' so much fun. They picked an excellent cast to do the voices they sound almost exactly the same as the cast from the triliogy Mark Hamel actually does the part of Luke Skywalker he's great. If you love Star Wars listen to this you'll love it!
