OH MY GOD!! This is the first time I've heard and seen this in 45 years!! My Mum bought this vinyl for my 10th Birthday, October 1978

I missed my childhood. I remember listening to this cassette over and over. On my red tape recorder. Times were much simpler back then.

Haven't heard these in 25+ years, chills just listening to them. This is amazing they even exist on YouTube!

[utahjedi]

just randomly wondered if it was on here. I was six years old. ]I'd play this on my fisher price record player. have not heard this since 1980.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
It's crazy how much the story was rearranged to make it fit.
Before home video, and in between actual trips to the theater again and again, THIS was our way of enjoying the movie again and again.
Who else would sometymes get their figures out to reenact along with the cassette?

I had these as a kid, loved them! Today my mum was helping my son read with an IPad app and she turns to me and says” I’m half expecting to hear R2D2 tell me when to turn the page!” Nearly spit my coffee all over the place!

My parents bought this for me a few weeks after they took me to the Empire re-release in November 1982, and it would be a couple years before I actually watched ANH. Not something you might think about but as a condensed telling of the story for children, this and the other two OT records are masterpieces. The SE versions don't hold a candle.

I don’t know what it is, but even as an aerospace systems engineer that uses advanced technology on behalf of the USAF and NASA, there’s something magical about audio dramatizations that iPhone apps and Xboxes CANNOT touch. Same can be said here. Imagination is far more powerful. We need to get back to this somehow.

Still have these books and a white cassette tape. Thanks for uploading.

[MattGrimmett]

This has given me chills and shivers remembering listening to this all the time. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I had this as a kid (I was about 10 years old at the time) and I remember being a bit upset they weren't the original voices. I always considered it subpar and didn't listen to it much. It's nice hearing it again just to remind myself why I was so disappointed, lol.

I found the book of this at a boot sale, so many memories of listening to this - "you'll know it's time to turn the page when you hear R2D2 beep like this"

[nisus]

Man, the actor who plays old Obi-Wan Kenobi in this actually sounds a *_LOT_* like Ewan McGregor in the role, despite this being recorded back in 1978 or 1979. Amazing.

[powergroover]

I have been searching for this for 20+ years! A big piece of my childhood has been restored!! Thank you for posting!

[positivecynik]

This is quality. The level of detail and perfect pacing, this is amazing production. Thanks for the Christmas listen (2022).

[moviemaniac]

The person voicing Luke does a very good impression of Mark Hamill!

[ZakWolf]

It's ironic that Disneyland/Buena Vista records co-produced and distributed this read-along back in 1979, because now look who owns the rights to the Star Wars properties! :P

[glyph]

Oh my... like others here, I haven't heard this for, what, 34 years? I wore the tape and book out. This is wonderful. :-). Thanks for uploading this.

[gifgit]

Wow, I had this when I was 5. Never realised the voices sounded so weird, particularly Darth Vader lol. Brings back so many fantastic memories. Thanks XD

[normancarr]

I had this back in 1979.I was ten at the time.Its wonderful to hear it again.
