Publisher's summary[]

Experience Star Wars: A New Hope from a whole new point of view.

On May 25, 1977, the world was introduced to Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, C-3PO, R2-D2, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, and a galaxy full of possibilities. In honor of the fortieth anniversary, more than forty contributors lend their vision to this retelling of Star Wars. Each of the forty short stories reimagines a moment from the original film, but through the eyes of a supporting character.[1]

Development[]

Although described officially as unabridged, the audiobook does not include any form of the comic "Far Too Remote," by Jeffrey Brown. This is likely because of the story's comic format, which would not work without visuals. Even in the cover says 40 stories, only contains 39.

  6. TwitterLogo Glen Weldon (@ghweldon) on Twitter: "Just heard a clip from my story on the #FromaCertainPOV audiobook. Holy crap. The production! Jonathan Davis (#NotTheKornGuy) is incredible. When I heard about the audiobook I figured they'd skip my story, as it's formatted in a way to make audio presentation nearly impossible. Can't say why, but you'll know when you see it. But they did it. Somehow. Amazing." (backup link)
