Great story and very well narrated. Nice to relive an old classic. There's plenty of room for the new stories and the old legends stories

It’s a good story and gives another perspective to the classic game with Rendar. Laughed too hard at the R2D2 / C-3PO scene and had to relive it multiple times to just have more laughs.
Fantastic narration.

Great story and narration as always

Would be a 5 but there is a weird almost rape in it regarding Leia

Marc Thompson's preformence never disappoints

It’s good. Story is ok. It’s better because it paints the background to return of the Jedi.

But it’s a long book for nothing to happen until the end. If you’re diehard listen to it. But it’s nothing on like the bane series for example.

Story is good/ok - worth a listen to see BtS of ROTJ

Really great to revisit this story and these characters, the voice acting is good albeit a little intense! Worth a listen for all Star Wars fans.
