Being blind, I appreciate this even more than the film.
@@mhoppy6639 I use audio descriptions when they are available. Sometimes I get annoyed a bit when the narration is talking right over the music, describing something I don't care about, but that is entirely subjective. The audio description adds a lot to my movie experience, much more than it detracts. The funny thing is that my wife, who can see perfectly well, also prefers to have audio description on because it points out important bits of the scene that might be lost to subtlety otherwise.
One thing that does bother me is that some movies, that had audio descriptions at the theater, are released to home video, Disney Plus and Netflix without audio description. What's with that? The work has already been done. Just include it.
@@surferdude4487 that’s interesting. When I tried them I also found that the best ones are really complementary but the weaker ones just annoy those who are sitting with you or worse they annoy you.
I didn’t know about “scrubbing” of the theatre releases. I wonder if there’s a copyright issue or some technical thing going on.
I might drop a line to one or two CEOs to see if I can get answers. I’m always pleasantly surprised what good service you can sometimes obtain if you write to the ceo/cfo or similar using their direct email (which is usually available online somewhe
Thanks for the info
do you prefer the movies shot on 35 millimeter or other formats?
I downloaded these at 6 AM on Saturday mornings off NPR on my single cassette player. Those tapes were treated like gold. I had those tapes for almost 20 years.
I still have mine too! Listened each week and recorded the episodes - including the different into/outro narration and the missing dialogue that somehow was edited out when officially released in the 90s. Glad to know someone else was as nerdy about this as me! Fans unfamiliar with these radio shows are missing out big time.
I listened to these religiously on my local NPR station...and god help you if you got in my way.
Same here!
They are still brilliant companions to the films.

"Low is your ceiling, I mean, your ceiling is kind of low" I'm dying. Luke picked up the weird way Yoda talks 😂😂😂😂
This is so much better than the recent movies
Love the bit where Luke accidentally inverts his sentence by saying "low is your ceiling" to Yoda
That comic book artwork never disappoints its so good!
This is probably where the "No Luke, I am your father" confusion originated. In the film and story records released in the 80s, it's just "No, I am your father."
It could be a contributing factor, for sure
These radio dramas kept Mark Hamill employed between the filming of the star wars movies.😂😂
They are also probably what got him into doing voice work
This is awesome! I first discovered Star Wars as a kid in Nigeria in the 2000s but I never got the books or EU stuff until I got older. Listening to these radio drama versions is so fun🤩 Currently listening while I work at Wendys.
I am pooping now. Sometimes when I use a public restroom I will wipe poop on the walls and handles.
At home I keep it clean.
Sector 4
I was introduced to Star Wars properly in 4th grade. My teacher put a novel of The Empire Strikes Back in front of me, as I finished my work earlier than everyone else. I started reading, and was interested. I found this on cassette tape at a local video store, and rented it. This sounds just like I remember.
After discovering these, I have trouble watching the movies, there's just so much missing.
May The Forth Be With You!
Same to you.

Starring John Lithgow as Drunk Yoda
I looked up the cast and it actually is John Lithgow. I initially thought it was Mark Hamil.
The voice work is great🤩 And the bits of extra drama and exposition are so well done. That but where Wedge was explaining how Luke was destroying the AT-AT was so done well. Instead of Luke doing exposition, that was done well. Also, kudos to whoever did Vader. It's like Being Rhames mixed with Tim Curry👏👏
Brock Peters is the Vader voice.
@@XoXo475I thought that was him! He played Vader in the original SW radio drama.
I used to love Listening to this as a kid in the 80's! In Chicago, there was a radio station that would play this and I loved it. I'm so happy to found this. Thanks!
This is great ! I did something like this about 15 years ago with the tape cassette version of the radio drama and a vhs camcorder pointed at various comics and artwork . I appreciate the time it takes to make something like this . I got as far as the start of the battle of hoth but never finished my project . Would love to see you do a redux of these . Small bit of constructive criticism ...some of the images on here are on screen for too long , would love to see more cuts inserted for when each character speaks . There is no shortage of artwork available online to do this . I love how you integrated the Topps trading cards into this . Would also love to see all of Ralph McQuarrie's production paintings used in this . A couple of years back , artist Chris Sprouse did a series of covers across the marvel comics line that depicted various scenes from The Empire Strikes Back that would work very well here too .
Another Brilliant production @MrPoke. Loving this. Thank you.
This is absolutely amazing, i love the visuals with this radio drama i love
These are amazing!! Thanks for them!
Agreed. Was a fan of this radio drama. Fan of all the cast, but, to me, Brock Peter's performance as Darth Vader is my personal favorite.
@@brianrunyon266Agree. He is good, almost as good as James Earl Jones.
This is really great. Have you ever considered making revenge of the sith using the audiobook as a source? I love that book
Would be cool but the problem is that the audiobook is still being sold on stores like Audible. It would definitely get taken down. All the audiodramas I've uploaded are not sold anywhere officially.
And this is an NPR production that was done in the 80s.
@@MrPokesmart man. What’s the status on the orginal thrawn series? Or would the new series make it impossible?
I love that neither Han nor Leia notice Lando caller her "Princess", just after she says "and I hope nobody finds out about the 'Princess' part."
Thank you sssooo much for this.
Something like this would be cool for prequels. Episode 3 would be the best one to listen to
Love love love ❤❤❤
Thank you
Thank the Marker @ 2:48.26. Threepio would have blow a circuit if he know that the Marker was now the Man in Black.
Luke was such an awesome hero for kids to relate to.
It's so weird hearing Benjamin Sisko's dad voicing me....
I need this radio drama with Troy Bond as Yoda.
Are you going to do a Return of the Jedi radio drama?
Yup
This is such a great radio drama of The Empire Strikes Back. I love all the live-action Star Wars films but there should be a new animated version of The Empire Strikes Back made in the Clone Wars 2003 Micro Series Animation Style with the dialogue of the radio drama using the soundtrack by John Williams playing in the film.
Interesting but the actual live action movie is so good it would be hard to top it. Anyway this is good.
The voices are awful. Vader has gotta be the worst voice of all.
"I joined the rebels cause I notice things" 😅
47:20 Sweet Home Alabama 😂😂😂😂
I have the cassette box set of this.
wow vader voice super nice
It's Brock Peters, who played the role in the original SW radio drama and also played Tom Robinson in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' opposite Gregory Peck. He was also Admiral Cartwright in Star Trek IV and VI.
Is there a list of the order to listen to these? I mean, I know the order of the trilogy obviously, but where do all the other audiobooks fit in?
These are not audio books. These are the original NPR recordings from the 70s-80s. You listen in order as released.
Endeavor looks like hes at a hospital looking through glass at what I think is Dabi getting patched up...what else would endeavor be looking at something wheelchair all bandaged up?
I am wondering if there's a book or comic that takes place between a New Hope and ESB. I want to know what actually started Vader's obssession with Luke,etc.
I highly recommend shadows of the empire
@dougcrawford6386 Shadows of the empire is between ESB and ROTJ. Great book tho
He blew up the Death Star and obi wan sacrificed himself for him it makes sense to me that’s why he was so obsessed
I think what started Vader's obsession with Luke began during the Death Star trench run. As Vader was pursuing Luke down the trench in his TIE Advanced x1, he felt the Force coming from Luke's X-Wing and decided he had to determine where it came from. There was also a novel set between SW and ESB called 'Splinter of the Mind's Eye', which further explores the connection between them.
why does Yoda sound like Ludo?
👍
Will you finish the Crimson Empire trilogy???
Is that Brock Peters as Darth Vader? He played him in the original radio drama as well.
Yes, he voiced him in all 3 radio dramas
.........❤❤❤❤❤.........
When Leia kisses Luke 3PO says "how interesting" - makes me think maybe his memory wasn't fully wiped
The kiss also seems to have more passion in it.
.........⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️..........
✨✨💞💞💯💯
I believe John Lithgow did the voice of Yoda.
The person who would go on to voice Lord Farquaad was the voice of Yoda, imagine that.
Audio drama that started with reading… 😂😂😂😂
This rendition of Han makes me appreciate Harrison Ford’s performance so much more
While Harrison Ford's acting was top tier, I still think the voice actor for Han did well here
@@aidanbrown2955 absolutely agree, I just miss the nostalgia of my boy
Yeah I think the VA does good by Harrisons voice adds a little more to Hans lines
Name of the comics ?
"Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back" "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Graphic Novel Adaptation" on wookieepedia

Go home, Vader. You are drunk.
" WHAT "
I loathe Darth Vader’s voice. He sounds more like a dramatic theatre kid than a cold, calculating psychopath.
That’s the part that needs work
This is a radio drama. Imo the voice is perfect for this kind of format. I understand what you mean about the voice but the voice performance for this format works better in a radio drama. Perhaps if James Earl Jones had voiced Vader for this radio drama you may have gotten what you wanted. Anyway I like the voice over for Vader here.
I'm sorry, but the guy voicing Han is not very good. He comes off like an edgy theater kid who wants to be the "cool guy".
All I find him is obnoxious!
And why does the medical droid (2-1-B) sound like a freakin sedated pedophile?!?!
Vaders voice is terrible
Why is this radio chatter better than anything on any of the Disney Star wars films lol
Because this is not Disney.
