STAR WARS: EPISODE VI RETURN OF THE JEDI - The Original 1996 Radio Drama.
I have combined all episodes of the original radio drama using excerpts from John Williams' original soundtrack and Ben Burt's sound effects for a more seamless blending from one episode to the next. This is how I want to experience this fantastic piece of work.
I hold no right to the material nor claim any credit for the final product. All content ownership remains with the proprietor of the original works. No breach or infringement of rights intended.
Return of the Jedi is a six-part radio adaptation of the original film, made by HighBridge Audio, produced in 1996 and broadcast on National Public Radio in the US.
A reoccurring question is about the running time of the radio drama. "What has been cut to reduce the original running time? I have removed the narrated intros, outros and end credits from each episode to created the seamless story. This has reduced the over all running time for each complete drama.

@kamalalsb7292 Год назад

@@michaelandreipalon359 Like in fairness - EU, Legends AND New Canon aren't allowed to change anything about the Movies themselves. It's one of the few stipulations George Lucas had both when he owned Star Wars and after he sold it to Disney. Those movies can't be touched. They can be expanded on (Like the "From a Certain Point of View" Novels), but they can't be adapted and things that happened on screen aren't allowed to be changed. Novelisations and Radiodramas, as adaptations, can make small tweaks (and in the case of the Radiodramas, they actually came from first drafts of the screenplays with slight adaptations to allow a listening audience to follow along), but where their content differs from the movies they're considered non-canon. I just fucking LOVE that one line, but I know they'd never actually add it to the movie.

The American Crusader All have sinned and so all are worthy of death and deserve hell, for God’s standard is perfection and none of us could meet it by doing good deeds. Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” But God loved us so much that He sent His Son to die in our place as a substitutionary atonement for our sins. He is the only way to Heaven that God has provided. If you believe in Him, then you will be saved. John 3:16-18 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Acts 4:12 “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

It’s both bizarre and moving, that Lando is the only character to offer condolences after Anakin’s death. Lando has mentioned in EU material that his father and him aren’t close, implying he’s still alive. It shows the despite Vader jeopardizing Lando, his city, and his friends, Lando understands that people with horrible dads likely have at least one good memory that they hold on to, and idealize them as. Lando, being the eldest of the four leads, also understanding he himself made some awful choices and hurt many people, and regardless of how much he’s changed, there will be people who refuse to look past his old life, so he somewhat empathizes with Anakin Skywalker.

@grannytoes7221 Год назад

@@michaelandreipalon359 I believe if Leeland Chee was pressed he'd say these radio dramas sit within their own canon, seperated from the EU. ANH for instance has some contradictory things with the EU in regard to all the early leia scenes, but it was made before the EU got started proper. This one actually has the opportunity to tie in EU content, and it does with its breif cameo of mara jade. It would have been made at the same time as Shadows, so there could have simply been a small disconnect between this and Shadows, but like you said it coild be seen as a flashback, especially since he mentions his books thag were also mentioned in Shadows and later expanded upon in The Life and Legend of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Because of the size of our family, our father always took us to drive-ins. "Star Wars" was the first film our father actually took us to the theater to see. Such good memories😊

After listening to all 3 of your cuts of the radio drama, let me 1st say thank you for putting these up on here. Second, I think these would have made for great special editions which would have been great to have on a DVD/ Blu-Ray release! Again awesome job on these sir!

Nige L , Sir YOU are the Harmy of the audio world! Thank you! I'm in mid 50s and saw original movie over 2 dozen times on release! My son, now approaching 30s, grew up with Star Wars and just shared the links to your channel, as is my year old granddaughter. It is the way!

@UnknownPersononGoogle 3 года назад

29 here and I prefer this audio drama to the films. Soo much more emotions to bring the characters to life as you picture them in your head.

@Nargon46 Год назад

Honestly these dramas are great. They feel like the Revenge of the Sith book, like an extended edition to the films with tighter scripting. THANK YOU for making this, having to skip the theme constantly on Kindle was a NIGHTMARE

@TheMysticSaint Год назад

Absolutely wonderful. I love the extra dialogue. These radio dramas really flesh out the movies.

But is he underrating someone's ability? (For context, see the Backstroke of the West gag dub for RotS.)

Josh did his best as Luke - I knew something felt really off about him and this entry as a whole - Really good but it doesn't really add much to the Franchise like the New Hope one did. New Hope had so much added Content and this one feels like it's just going scene by scene. Which is fine - Nothing wrong with it. Just NH set my expectations higher.

@hiddenunderhatse8094 4 года назад

I love this Though the guy who did Yoda here made me wince a bit but Yoda is my favorite character

@nigethejedimaster 4 года назад

I can understand why you say that. In the early days I very much felt the same way. Frank Oz's performance was as important as Mark Hamill's in making Yoda such a convincing character. John Lithgo's performance is jarring by comparison. Time has softened this for me. I have learned to separate the two and in doing so, have developed an appreciation (all be it to a lesser degree) for what this performance brings to this adaptation of the saga.

@SimoPortti 5 лет назад

Having listened to Empire radio drama I wonder why Hamill didn't voice act in this one also. Thank you for posting all of these. I have listened them back to back and will probably listen to them multiple times. It is like watching the movies in my head.

@PremiumVibesMedia 4 года назад

Simo Portti this was released in 1997 I believe. Nearly 15 years after the last radio drama.

@sarttan 4 года назад

There's a fair amount of speculation about why Mark Hamill didn't return for ROTJ. Some think it was due to the contract disputes that delayed ROTJ for so long, like what Premium Vibes mentioned. This aired in '96 after all, over a decade since Empire's radio drama. Others think that he just had too many conflicts and chose to resign from this project. Right around this time he was in both Wing Commander and Batman the Animated Series, both highly popular works. But unless Hamill himself says something, which he probably won't since this is 2 decades old now, we may never know.

@JavertRA 4 года назад

I almost couldn't tell.

@Tiresias55 2 года назад

Sadly, I think these were made long after the New Hope and Empire Strike's Back radio dramas, so Mark Hamill and Billy D Williams were either not willing or not able to reprise their roles.

@davidw.2791 2 года назад

@@Tiresias55 It's interesting that one of the most iconic posters for the Radio Drama was C3PO in front of a mic, cuz Anthony Daniels was the only actor from the original films who was also in all three of the radio dramas.

Thank you for all those audiodramas. It is so, so good. I was amazed. These audios expanded the history in a way that i think, sometimes, make it better than the movies. Ty and take care!

@Hunger4Hemo 4 года назад

Absolutely one of my favourite things to listen to! If I had a complaint, if any, would be Lando's voice It just sounds a little weird, but it also has it's own charm!

@Broncoburger 2 года назад

Mine would be John Lithgow as Yoda otherwise these were near perfect.

@mibevan Месяц назад

I remember as a child I had a cassette tape with a read along book for and abridged version of return of the Jedi. They actually lifted some audio from this drama. I think that’s pretty cool, Adult fans can get a more in-depth version of the story and kids can get a simpler version. It’s like comparing a children’s book to a long chapter book with no illustrations.

@zoenesin520 Год назад

Thank you for putting these together. (Original and extended universe) Star Wars has been my happy place since I was a little kid and I get so much joy out of listening to the radio plays. I think Brian Daley improved the characters in some places with the little additions (the extended interaction between Luke and Anakin at the end, Leia and Han showing they care about C3PO after the rescue). Great work all around

@nathanmonger8423 2 года назад

I heard the first 2 radio dramas before seeing the movies. Ruined the movies for me... watch RETURN of the JEDI before hearing this and it helped...

@noradennis4361 3 года назад

This was the only radio drama I hadn't heard. I enjoyed it. I will always love the middle trilogy out of all the movies. I really wish Lucas hadn't sold the franchise to Disney, but that is just me. I might mention that I've been a fan of Disney since I was a little girl, but Star Wars? I wish Lucas had never let them buy it.
