Before we witnessed the visual splendor and unmistakable iconography of the original trilogy of Star Wars films, we had the novelizations. Now, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first Star Wars film next year, the companion books are getting a new release with three new unabridged audiobooks.
Narrated by Marc Thompson, this is the first time the novelizations of the Star Wars original trilogy will be available as unabridged audiobooks, released on February 2, 2027, wherever audiobooks are sold.
