  1. A presentation By matthewdann

  2. Details • Expanded radio dramatization was produced in 1981, 1983 and 1996 • All broadcast on an American radio station, NPR originally • George Lucas allowed the use of orginial music and sound effects to be used by the radio adaptation • 3 parts to the radio drama, each one covering each film.

  3. Differences • Mark Hamill(Luke Skywalker) only reprised his role for the first two adaptations,the radio version of Return of the Jedi used Joshua Fardon • The radio play included backstories to many things left out in the film, such as how Princess Leia acquired the death star plans in A New Hope, a tense conversation between Solo and Skywalker in the Hoth wastelands in Empire and how Luke constructed a new lightsaber in Jedi

  4. Actors • Mark Hamill, the official lukeskywalker played Luke in A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back radio adaptations • Anthony Daniels, the official C-3PO reprised his role in all 3 raido adaptations • Billy Dee Williams also reprised his role as LandoCarlrissian in The Empire Strikes Back • Other than this, all the other actors involved were new actors, including the actor for Han Solo(Perry King in the radio adaptation as Harrison Ford was too involved with the Indiana Jones movie to reprise his role for the radio.

  5. Length of each adaptation/Conclusion • A New Hope: 13-part, 5 hours and 51 minutes • The Empire Strikes Back : 15 part, 4 hours and 15 minutes • Return Of The Jedi: 6 part, 3 hours This is significant as this is a huge increase in the length of the radio drama in comparison to the film in that each one is at least double the length, which suggests that visual aspects shorten a production in media as you can explain/portray things a lot easier using two senses(sight and sound) than just one(sound) as even an element of backstory would not add 3 hours towards a script. This gives the ideal in that there is a large depth in explanatory and slower story movement which could be emphasized as an effect.
