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.
