When this series was first broadcast on National Public Radio in 1981, it generated the largest response in the network's history.

This landmark production, perhaps the most ambitious radio project ever attempted, began when Star Wars creator George Lucas donated the story rights to an NPR affiliate. Mark Hamill and Anthony Daniels reprise their film roles as Luke Skywalker and the persnickety robot See Threepio.

A brilliant dramatization that takes this intergalactic adventure into a realm of imagination that is beyond the reach of cinema.
