RETURN OF THE JEDI

Both Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back were broadcast in hugely successful audio versions on National Public Radio, and with this presentation radio has once again caught up with the movies. The original music by John Williams and the movie's rich array of sound effects are employed throughout to stunning effect. The cast features such well-known masters of the art as John Lithgow (playing Yoda), Edward Asner (Jabba the Hutt), and Perry King (Han Solo), among others. Brock Peters plays an excellent Darth Vader, and Anthony Daniels crosses over from the movie as C3PO. With state-of-the-art audio quality, this is a magnificent listening experience.
