Mark Hamill voices Luke himself, the rest are mostly replacements. The guy who plays Han Solo sounds like a ProZD character.

Very cozy and you get tons of “slice of life” Mark Hamill being a naïve teenage Luke goofing off with his friends. It’s clearly before our favorite Maury moment, so you get a little bit of disconcerting Luke/Leia romance, but she sounds so different you can just pretend she’s an entirely different person.

Also - this was produced by NPR. Fucking awesome, we need to throw more money at them.

Couldn't care less. Didn't even know this was a thing.

Disney ruined Star Wars for me. There are way too many films and shows now, and none of them are particularly interesting.

I enjoyed Rogue One. Refuse to see Solo (they didn't need to explain the Kessel run). Gave The Mandalorian, Boba Fett, and Obi Wan a chance. None of them were particularly interesting so I gave up on all of them by the 3rd episode. (The girl who played young Leia was particularly insufferable.) Couldn't care less about Star Wars anymore.

Maybe when the Knights of the Old Republic remake comes out I'll play that. But other than that, the franchise is dead to me.

It’s was released in the middle of the era when Disney was doing shit like Pete the Dragon and The Black Cauldron - none of the Mouse’s touch. Luke and Leia are not at all acting like siblings.

I think it’s a great counter to what the series is now, almost like an extended cut of a New Hope.

They probably never read your response and will miss out on something they would probably enjoy quite a bit ...

Hell, they obviously didn't even read your post.
