This radio drama adds a lot more life to the story. It really fleshes out their personalities more. It's crazy to see a movie 1000s of times during your life and think you know the characters as best as you can, and then this comes along. Thank you for posting.
I agree. There’s much more time to do this in this format between a movie and a book. Having seen the movie the images are planted, and the sound effects are really supportive. But the movie flashes so fast. Here, there’s time to sit back and enjoy the story and characters and ponder everything.
For me the visuals are totally unnecessary. I still remember listening to the radio programs in the 1980s and being whisked away to another galaxy via my imagination. Loved the extra plot elements and sounds. This video is essentially just a movie; I might as well watch the 1977 film instead.
I enjoy watching UA-camrs talk about Star Wars and I've tried getting into the franchise but never got around to it. This video showed up in my feed and I'm glad I listened to it. Now I understand why people like Star Wars so much. Eventually, I'll also watch the movies. This radio drama convinced me. Thanks for uploading!
NICE WORK!!! I listened to the very first broadcasts in 1979 as a child, hadn't even seen the movie yet - so this is forever canon to me. Really appreciate all the work you've done with the visuals - fantastic! Thanks for sharing this with us!
02:52 "...the great LUKE SKYWALKER, HERO of the UNIVERSE!" For my generation, he was. He absolutely was. I have very hazy memories of this playing on the radio, but for years, I wasn't sure if it was real. This is amazing to listen to!
I remember i got this as a box set at the preimire of Episode 3 when i was 13. I couldnt help but listen to it over and over again. LOVED IT THEN LOVE IT NOW.
It's hard to believe the power of this simple story. Star Wars has given me hope since I first heard the swell of that score in the theater. I was a huge fan of C3PO!
YES!!! Great job! In my head canon I use the character that was supposed to be Jabba as Heater because of this audio drama. Lucas should have edited the Special Edition of ANH to do the same so the reveal off Jabba would still have been in RotJ. Fantastic!!! That Leia torture scene is still cringe, lol....
I remember this on BBC radio! I remember the intro to each episode was announced ' Star Wars, an adaptation for radio in thirteen parts, based on characters and situations created by George Lucas'. They would then introduce the title of the episode and the only one I recall is 'Jedi that was; Jedi to be'. It takes me back 🤗
Thank you MrPoke! You've done an absolutely fantastic job! I'm amazed at the effort you put into selecting and assembling each individual image (even i'm not a fan of the childish ones). It must have been a real pain in the neck, taking up countless hours of your time! I greatly appreciate the refreshing and exhilarating experience of rediscovering Star Wars, as if it were the "first time - again"!
I can't believe this was already made. but now notified for the second, but this was awesome to watch and loved James Earl Jones's voice in this audio story. so.. it was Artoo who messed with the red Droid.I believe it was influenced by Anakin in the past even if the droid's memories were wiped.
Just found the original script printed in Star Wars Galaxy magazine 2 from winter 95. A bit different but it’s great to follow along and read the interview with the author.
Fantastic Work you did, illustrating the radioplay with the comics! Here in germany, they produced audioplays of Timothy Zahns Thrawn-Trilogy. They used sound fx and John Williams music, and, as the icing on the cake, all surviving voices of the cast from the german dub from the original trilogy (who certainly sounded some decades older :-), especially Wolfgang Pampel, Harrison Fords standard dubbing voice), the german voice of Hugh Jackman for Thrawn, Michael Caines standard voice for C'Baoth and the german voice of Colonel Tigh from New BSG for Captain Pellaeon. I think, there is a comic version out for "Heir to the empire" and the further two novels. Would be interesting to combine these like you did with the radioplays.
Thank you so much, I find it boring sometimes when the Star Wars radio drama has no picture. May the Force be with you by me as my favourite character from Star Wars, Luke Skywalker. My favourite character is Luke Skywalker because I love his father’s blue lightsaber and we both love adventures when we are both young, I look like him, we both love being the main hero, he started his adventures in A New Hope and Mark Hamill who played Luke Skywalker is the fourth child like me
I forgot to say, I can talk like Luke Skywalker and I love the part in the sequel trilogy when Bonnie Piesse and Joel Edgerton who played Luke Skywalker’s aunt and uncle are Australian since I’m living in Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺
This is the only way a reboot can ever be accepted by SW fans! Imagine if the radio dramas were all remade with the same craftsmanship that Denis Villeneuve made Dune… MTFBWY
✨💞Star Wars brother I know you didn't put the original Star Wars video game from Atari Graphics up in here did you ✨Lord have mercy I love you ✨May the force be with you always💞✨
A young man dreams of bigger things then discovery that he is something special. His uncle knows this and want to protect him from this life. But the future is alway in motion.

@@kerickwalters2749 I don't know how to deal with the censorship, but you could pay for a premium membership to get rid of ads while still paying the creators of the videos.
Do you guys know if they have similar radio dramas to the prequel’s? I’ve been trying to find online but I only find short videos like maybe 15 minutes long these are absolutely amazing to listen to
And Mark Hamill is Luke again for the radio dramas of *STAR WARS* and *The Empire Strikes Back,* but he was unable to do the radio drama of *Return of The Jedi.*
This is awesome - but there is _something_ missing without the Intro and Outro narrations. I understand why you put it together this way, and it IS a great job, but I think leaving the original presentation more intact outweighs the benefit of a more seamless presentation. Just my opinion. Great work either way.
This is a great edition but ive noticed in this and other versions that the lines when Luke goes to Bens house about living simply and keeping only those things he holds valuable around here are missing. It's odd
The only thing that’s off is the voice of Han Solo. Hamill of course nails Luke. Whoever plays Leia is fine. Perry King as Han Solo just sounds off. I think it’s because most people recognize the voice. But also he just doesn’t sound as rough as Harrison Ford. Too youthful.
Me too, it’s nice to see more of the story that wasn’t shown in the original trilogy. The prequel trilogy is told from Obi Wan’s (and Anakin’s) perspective, the original trilogy is told from Luke’s perspective. But through it all, these 6 films have always been Anakin’s story, the story of the Chosen One.
@@KevinRodriguez-ct2sd rogue one doesn’t fit the continuity nor the tone of A New Hope. It is also boring with unlikable, forgettable and equally boring characters.
could you enlighten us as to where the deleted scenes are? I have listened to this a million times, and I am aware of these scenes, but have never heard them. edit: first one happens at 7:10

They should really make this into a movie.
Just as long as they keep Kathleen Kennedy away from it.
Facts
@@starguy2718, Kathleen Kennedy and Jar jar abrams, the franchise destructor.
Hahahaha
WHAT ? They already did, this radio show is based on the movie.
I did enjoy listening to this as solely audio, especially of a night. Adding Visuals takes it up a level.
Absolutely agree
For me the visuals are totally unnecessary. I still remember listening to the radio programs in the 1980s and being whisked away to another galaxy via my imagination. Loved the extra plot elements and sounds. This video is essentially just a movie; I might as well watch the 1977 film instead.

@@xSARGEx117x Very interested on how you know.
Fm broadcast in stereo hell yeah some homemade rice crispy and raisinet bars
Best line: Vader: "Your father orders you to tell us"
And they didn't know at the time he was her father!
I had to hit the ayo button on that one😂
@@thadutchmastr420
Zesty ahh space samurai. Sith lord, more like zest lord...
"Don't you wish to please your father?"
Leia: moaning painfully
"Anything wrong Lord Vader?"
NO GET OUT!
Excellent Radio Drama Edition, the interrogation scene gave me chills, excited for Empire Strikes Back Audio Drama😎👍
Good to hear Han Solo shooting first!
😂
Fr. As it should be. The way the force intended.
02:52 "...the great LUKE SKYWALKER, HERO of the UNIVERSE!"
For my generation, he was. He absolutely was. I have very hazy memories of this playing on the radio, but for years, I wasn't sure if it was real. This is amazing to listen to!

I randomly thought about this last night. I had the tape set when I was a kid. So glad you uploaded it. Listened for a while. Thank you!
1:12:06 The second time Vader goes ape about Tatooine; cut to the robot he built complaining about sand. "It's like poetry, it sorta rhymes."
YES!!! Great job! In my head canon I use the character that was supposed to be Jabba as Heater because of this audio drama. Lucas should have edited the Special Edition of ANH to do the same so the reveal off Jabba would still have been in RotJ. Fantastic!!! That Leia torture scene is still cringe, lol....
Thanks for putting this together, very well done!
(Kudos to NPR, of course, on their excellent work expanding the Star Wars universe!)
You are awesome man, thank you so much. You are a blessing !! Thank you again.
This is the best era in Star Wars.

R2's memories were never wiped iirc, only 3PO's
Darth Vader was voiced by Star Trek actor Brock Peters for these radio broadcasts
Brock Peters is the voice of Darth Vader
I already found out about it after commenting which I didn't know ^^!
Just found the original script printed in Star Wars Galaxy magazine 2 from winter 95. A bit different but it’s great to follow along and read the interview with the author.
Wonderful! A good one to do after ESB: Brian Daley's Ord Mantell record from 1983.

I listened to some of it before. However, I speak zero german
Star Wars: based on characters and situations created by George Lucas… I must have played those tapes a thousand times.
Delightful Version of the Story. The UA-cam algorithm Controls me partially but it also obeys my commands.
This is fantastic. Thank you!
Thank you for this. Goosebumps at the death star battle
I especially like the addition of Zapp Brannig- sorry Lord Tion
Awesome!

It's funny how Lucas never talks about these great radio dramas. You'd think he would have been proud of them!
Love love love
This is great. It's listening to the movie, and reading the comic at once. This was how the comic book serial should have been done.
Thanks, first listened to this in 2015!

“When are you gonna stop seeing things and grow up Skywalker? Space battles…what a jerk.”
Can you imagine how funny it must have been when Fixer would brag in the future about almost beating Luke in a race once?

Use ublock origin if you're on a computer. Completely removes ads. I also endorse doing youtube to mp4 if you wish.

I bet if you called it a podcast you would get like 1 million views from people under 40 lol. Thanks for posting this!

Great and does this version include in the intro and outro?
Is that Anthony Daniels as C3PO?
Yup
And Mark Hamill is Luke again for the radio dramas of *STAR WARS* and *The Empire Strikes Back,*

Leia was not very good at playing her role during the dinner.
0:00 - 1:00:00 This is so much better. This is what rogue one should have been and not the utter tripe garbage of a movie Disney made.
