The galaxy is at war. Although the Rebel Alliance has won a few battles against the Empire, hope is fading. The Empire is about to finish building the greatest weapon the galaxy has ever seen—the Death Star. The rebels' only chance to defeat it now lies in the unlikely hands of a princess, a scoundrel, and a farm boy. . . . Acclaimed, New York Times bestselling author Alexandra Bracken delivers a captivating retelling of Star Wars: A New Hope like you've never experienced before. Since the premier of the original film, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Luke Skywalker have become iconic, larger-than-life characters. The Princess, the Scoundrel, and the Farm Boy takes a deeper look at these three heroes as they join forces to defeat the evil that threatens their entire galaxy.

This audiobook was really fun. The narrators do a fantastic job, especially capturing the voices of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Obi-wan Kenobi. The soundtrack mixed in along with sound effects made the overall experience most entertaining.
I didn't expect to enjoy this book this much. It's a retelling of the first Star Wars movie made, which I've seen a million times and had practically memorized at one point in time. However, the author did a fantastic job of expanding on the movie narrative to fill in character perspectives in the times between their time on screen and diving into the characters' thoughts in particular moments. I felt the author stayed true to the characters and added depth to them. I count this as a fantastic, fresh retelling of a story I've long enjoyed.
