Star Wars is a 13-part (6½ hour) radio serial first broadcast on National Public Radio in 1981.
It was adapted by Brian Daley from the original film, and directed by John Madden, with
music by John Williams and sound design for Lucasfilm by Ben Burtt.
The series fleshes out the storyline by adding a great deal of back story. Examples include
Princess Leia's acquisition of the Death Star schematics; Luke Skywalker using his binoculars
to observe the movie's opening battle and trying to convince his friends at Toshi Station of
what he saw; a skyhopper race that results in Luke's vehicle being damaged (seen in the
movie in the background of his Tatooine garage); Han Solo's encounter with Jabba the Hutt's
agent, "Heater"; Vader's interrogation of Princess Leia; and Admiral Motti's attempts to convince
Grand Moff Tarkin to leverage the Death Star as a political tool.
When the series was re-issued on NPR several years later, it was retitled The New Hope
(as opposed to the official alternate title, A New Hope), keeping in line with the subtitles
of the episodes of the original trilogy films.
When this series was first broadcast on National Public Radio in 1981, it generated the
largest response in the network's history: 50,000 letters and phone calls in a single week,
an audience of 750,000 per episode, and a subsequent 40-percent jump in NPR listenership.
This landmark production, perhaps the most ambitious radio project ever attempted, began
when Star Wars creator George Lucas donated the story rights to an NPR affiliate. Writer Brian
Daley adapted the film's highly visual script to the special demands and unique possibilities of
radio, creating a more richly textured tale with greater emphasis on character development.
Director John Madden guided a splendid cast—including Mark Hamill and Anthony Daniels,
reprising their film roles as Luke Skywalker and the persnickety robot See Threepio—through
an intense 10 day dialogue recording session. Then came months of painstaking work for
virtuoso sound engineer Tom Voegeli, whose brilliant blending of the actors' voices, the music,
and hundreds of sound effects takes this intergalactic adventure into a realm of imagination that
is beyond the reach of cinema.
