Amazon.com Review
From the Rebels' defeat at the Battle of Hoth to the battle between Luke and Darth Vader, The Empire Strikes Back continues the story of Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, and the others as they struggle to overthrow the evil Galactic Empire. This abridgment of the classic story is complemented by nearly 150 two-color illustrations--based on images from the film--drawn by Brandon McKinney in a style reminiscent of comic books from the 1950s. Star Wars fans of all ages will be delighted with this beautiful little gift book. --C.B. Delaney

Star Wars Radio drama is GREAT!
Rating  (5)
Date: 2008-07-08
NPR created radio dramas of the Star Wars Episodes 4 - 6 and they are now on audio CD. We had the audio cassette tapes and already knew they were well worth listening to. Each segment of the story is just under 30 minutes long, which makes it easy to use for a half-hour walk for exercise. While several of the voice performers are not the same as in the movie version, the different interpretations of some of the dialog give additional insights to the story background. The John Williams score absolutely rocks!

Ice planet panic.
Or, if you really don't know how this one goes that is possible evidence for alien life, as I am not quite sure where you have been to miss it.
The rebels are hiding out on a very cold planet when they are discovered leading to a pitched battle, evacuation, and reunion with an old friend for Han Solo, etc.
If you like the you-know-what you will probably like this too if you go in for this sort of thing.

This is a review of The Empire Stikes Back: The Radio Drama. Amazon seems to have reviews of the radio show mixed up with reviews of Empire Stikes Back books. Anyway... The success of the radio adaptation of the first Star Wars movie led to this radio drama based on the second Star Wars movie. It was presented as ten half-hour episodes. This being about two and a half times as long as the movie, additional scenes were added. The only actors from the movie to reprise their roles on radio were Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Anthony Daniels as C-3PO and Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian. This is a fun program that Star Wars fans will enjoy.

The book is pretty good. I was a lttle disappointed with the scenes pictured in the book. They were dark and I believe there were better scenes to pictorially represent the movie.

We all know the story that unfolds in The Empire Strikes Back, and many people consider it to be the best of the films. So what does an author do to make the story seem fresh to the reader? Add details? Change the story? Closely follow the film? In the case of this book, Mr. Glut has elected to follow the film. I think he made the right decision, and he describes the action very well. I was not distracted by being familiar with the story, and I think that the unique individual who has not seen the film would obtain a good grasp of the tale by reading this book. Just as in the film, it was great fun to follow our heroes from Hoth to Bespin and Dagobah. One can only wonder what happens next.
