All Good Stories Come To An End


Here is my last Star Wars post for a while (probably for this year)seeing as how this weekend marks the 30th anniversay! I am choosing to end the run with the final "Story" album from the trilogy. This one doesn't stand up to the other two. First off, the cover is just plain blah. It looks like they just took a picture from the film, slapped the logo on it and added the words "The Story of". It is obviously not as grandiose as the Empire album. Secondly, they had to cut a lot out of the story as there was just way too much visual stuff in Jedi that couldn't be put onto record without cheezy descriptions. And speaking of descriptions, my description of the narrator is boring! He sounds like this is the last gig he ever thought he would get. But, for completeists like myself, this is a must have. Let me know what you think as you listen to "The Story of Return of The Jedi". Enjoy!

More Lost Scenes From Star Wars . . .

Here's part two of the scenes from "Abandoned Magic". This time we get to hear the two different Aunt Berus. In the mono mix of the film, it was voiced by a different actress than in the stereo mix. Strange, isn't it?!

Here's A Story, of a boy named Skywalker . . . (re-post)


Here is one of my favorite items from my Star Wars collection. "The Story of Star Wars" album featuring a stripped down version of the film in audio format. This was pre-home video so this was the only way people had to relive the experience of Star Wars at home. I have had this record since 1977 and have easily listened to it thousands of times. (I have it memorized!) Interesting fact - This album went GOLD in 1977! Here it is for you. Unfortunately rapidshare is not letting me upload large files so I had to upload it in three files - Side 1, Side 2 and the artwork (which includes both the regular and picture disc versions as well as an 8-track and the gold record!). They did this with the other two films as well. What the future may bring . . . . . Enjoy!

Lost Scenes From The Original Cut of Star Wars

Need I say more? This is from a film called "Abandoned Magic". There are many versions of these deleted scenes put into a larger film. To be honest I don't know a lot about any of them but I do know that they are pretty darn cool!
