- This is so nostalgic for me. I used to listen to this tape every night when I was young. I was looking around for it on TH-cam, but couldn't find it, so I though "Fine. I'll do it myself."

People now can't imagine the time when a movie was in theaters, and then it was simply gone. Kids didn't play with the toys because they were that awesome, it was because we'd rather be watching the movie but couldn't. God bless the Japanese for providing us with affordable VHS machines in the Eighties.
No, the toys were awesome too. We made our own movies and adventures with the toys. In some casses literally.
The movies were a jumping off point for our imaginations. After we saw the movies, once or twice we were off on our own adventures.
I'm not saying we wouldn't love to rent the movies again and again.
I still remember waiting for the video release, counting down the days, until we could relive what we had seen a few years earlier.
The joy of Star Wars was not just the toys, or just the movies. It was everything. It was a part of us. We were all part off it, regardless of color creed or location.
Cheers from Canada
ur welcome
I still have my trading cards from the trilogy, as well as the first 3 Superman movies, Tron, the Black Hole, V, Magnum PI, and other favourites. It was a good way to recall the films/shows before VCRs became readily available
Oh my God, my brother and I had this and used to fall asleep to it every night for _years!_ We'd just turn it on and let it play through, and by the time it ended and the tape stopped we'd be usually be asleep.
I listened to it every night, too!!! Been looking for this for 20 years.
The force was with you.
I know every word, every pause, every sound effect…. Thank you for posting this. It’s like seeing an old friend.
Hehe...me too!
Awesome, I think I still have the casette, somewhere in the basement.
Cheers from Canada
I’m not alone!!. I can even still remember the exact spot my record had a skip on it..I might know my 1970’s Story of Star Wars equally well if not better
Thank You for your comment! I still have the LP record of this & have been driving my husband crazy speaking every line as I clean the house! 😅👍😍
Awesome. Me too, except Im not at 100%. Can you help me please?
I got this tape from a friend in the 80's, and I did not speak english.
I learned it from this, while making a transcript.
Still a couple of words still missing, after 30+ years.
Could you please fill out the missing words?
"Leia knocked out the distructed guard with a tree (…...) , then she shot the remaining scout, as he sped off on his bike."
"Roaring through the narrow corridors of pipes and (......), Lando and Wedge finally reached the core of the Death Star."
So my 30+ years journey towards finishing this will be complete.
Listened to these 45s on my Fisher Price phonograph in 1987!
Before the movies were so easily available, this is how we remembered the plot. Every word of the narrator is still fresh in my mind :)
Woah! It’s 1984 all over again! I remember turning the pages after R2’s beeps and whistles… lol
That wasn't this one. No beeps or whistles. This version is an unadulterated audio translation of the movie.
I still have this LP. It has pops and scratches, but my parents bought it for me after the film came out. I also have The Story of Star Wars on LP. It is the same type of album, but for the first movie, which was just called Star Wars, in 1978. It is even more worn out.
oh my god this is fucking incredible
I never knew this existed, wasn't born yet lol
Same here my friend but thanks to my dad I’m almost a bigger Star Wars geek then he is I’m glad I discovered this existed because I love audio books
"Now, go my son"....goosebumps. 😪
Finally. This is the one. My decades long search is over.
No Bothans died to bring us this information.
Thank you!
I got this tape from a friend. I did not speak english.
I learned it from this.
Oh dude is this.....ahhhhhhhh it is. I used to listen to this every day as a child... sometimes with the book. Usually while acting out the bits.
Thanks !!! I bought this when I was 12. Couldn't stop playing it !! Haven't heard it in decades due to no longer having a cassette player .
They were great. I had Empire on record.
I also remember having Raiders of the lost Ark and E.T. There was also one for the Black hole.
Anyone else remember other titles in the series?
I'd love to know.
Cheers from Canada
I had all the LPs of these 3 SW films and still have them. Glad someone recorded them here.
The LP version of this was my first exposure to Star Wars. That's how I became a fan. Never saw the movies first. Thanks for uploading. :)
That's interesting. May I ask why you were not able to see them in the theatre?
Was it a location thing?
Either way, you're still a part of this special time, in the history of story telling.
Cheers from Canada my friend.
@@steveharvey2102 My parents never took me to see them. I don't think they knew what it was. My childhood friend had the record and we used to listen to it. :) Definitely accessible in NYC just not on the radar of my parents.
I had this as a kid too way back in the 80s. This was a great audio book. Thanks for uploading.
I had the empire one way back in the pre vcr days when you inky had one tv in the living room I would record jedi w a cassette recorder then scream everytime someone talked
I’M RECORDING!!!!
"...exposing a wrist of wires and electronics." !!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
“The force is strong in my family, my father has it, I have it, my sister has it” getting actual chills
I had them for all three movies as a kid. The only way to experience the movie at home for years. This narrator was good. ESB was the most epic tape though. An already tight story condensed into something even more packed with action and adventure.
You know.... I think I had this as a kid.... it came with a book
I used to have this as a kid. brings back memories
I used to have this as a kid on cassette used to lie in bed with my walkman listening to it
My dad bought me the LP record of this. Before Return of Jedi was released on VHS in 1985, this was the only way I was able to experience the film.
I had this exact cassette and book. I also had the 45 records and mini books...nice trip down memory lane.
Damn. I wish I'd had this version. The one I had featured goofy dialogue and bad-acting barely-soundalikes.
I do remember "This is the story of Return of the Jedi. You can read along with me in your book. You will know it is time to turn the page when you hear R2-D2 beep like this..."
I've always remebered the line "....finally reached the heart of Anakin Skywalker.
Such a fantastic narrator.
영어 원어로 들려주셔서 무한한 영광입니다.
고맙습니다🙇
This tape brings back lots of memories to me.
I have a version of Return of the Jedi on LP that's much shorter and the voices are different. To actually hear audio clips from the movie on LP (or audio cassette) was a real treat before the age of VCRs.
Used to have this. No idea what happened to it, whole family listened to it first time we got it
I'm coining it right now.
May the 40th anniversary be with you.
I had the 45 record version.
Thank you so much for uploading. I had the cassette as a kid and would spend my weekends listening to it while playing with my figurines. Such wonderful memories. I learned the script off by heart.
On 45 records with picture books. Imagination was better than any computer generated graphics.
@@tightywhity377 hell yea i wish I had those nice big books from the 90's about movies with full pages of the making and all!
Hi my son had this star wars audiobook on a record long time ago
In a galaxy, far, far away?
May The Force Be With You!
Well, I'll be... Originally, in this version Han did say, "It's alrightIcanseealotbetter!"
Personally, I like Han saying, "It's alright! Trust me!"
Had all 3 of these tapes (A new hope, empire strikes back, jedi). Listed to one every night going to sleep. Ah the memories this brings back.
Yes, this was the best of the three I would love a future in which these transcripts were actually beneficial
I love these longer treatments, more so than the 10-20 minute versions. And the original sound from the film too! Thanks for posting.
These audio dramas are fantastic. had the pleasure to listen to a new hope when i used to get dental work.
42:07 ANAKIN YOU MURDERER
wow this is so great, never know this audio cassette exist, there where video in that time, but we have to wait so many months (or years?) to see again in video, so i went to the movies and take pictures (never went for the revealed pictures), more young i recorded the cartoons in audio cassette to hear again my favorite cartoons (bugs bunny). this is a jewel! i star to hear this today. gracias!
I have searched for this for eons!
I've been looking for this. Thank you! Me and my cousin used to listen to it a lot!
I listened to this every night as kid! thank you so much for this!!
THank you so much. I used to listen to this every day!!!!
I had this too as a youngster. Thank you for doing this. It has brought back many happy memories.
Thank you! Have been looking for this for 30yrs
Dude, I still have the cassette tape! I haven't tried playing it again, though. (And yes, I still have a late 90s CD-tape stereo player running in mint condition, so I can check if it's still OK.)
I listened to this 100's of times as i played with Star Wars toys. Couldn't just throw the movie on back in the day.
Thanks for uploading this...i listened to this everyday as a little kid
I had this as a child. My favorite for a long time I used to listen to this all the time. Omg
Luke Skywalker: I Am A Jedi, Like My Father Before Me!
How odd I literally stumbled onto this particular video. I remember that a friend got hold of this somehow, in former Yugoslavia 😂, I borrowed it for a couple of days along with his ZX Spectrum...the narrator's voice is epically housewarming!
Gees this brings back great memories as well as i am feeling very old now.
I've always been a fan of Star Wars since I was a lad. In Return of the Jedi, I favored Luke Skywalker And his father, Anakin Skywalker. If I had a character to pick, it would be Like Skywalker.
For sure! I don't think too many people were rushing out to get the old man figure. He didn't even come with a saber :(
Give him some accessorie. :)
Cheers from Canada
I still have that book, no idea what happened to the cassette tape after all these years. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.. 😉
I have the reverse situation. Wanna trade?
;)
“Keep it simple”
Lovely to see this up for posterity! I still have and listen to the vinyl record version of this...part of my childhood, listened all the time!
Yes! Long Live my Fisher Price record player. Lol
I had the EP with a flip book. I worn that thing out!!! thank you for the nostalgia tug!
Thank you for this. Oh the hours spent listening to these………
WOW! I had this when I was a young boy! Way before VHS rental tapes became a thing. I also had the other two chapters on LP. I would listen to all three in one day! XD.
Gosh, I still have all three LPs of the original trilogy movies! They helped me to memorize every line and every sound effect. Those were idyllic days days, when we had to wait what seemed like forever for the next movie to come out. Glad to have found this site...I'll have to listen to my records all over again!
Omg that brings back memories 😀
I own this on vinly record !!! The records were our only way to enjoy the movies before we could affords to buy a vhs player !!!
I remember I also the vinyl record "Return To Ord Mantell" or was it "Mission To Ord Mantell?"
Omg I have the old book that looks like that!!!!
“But Luke had other things on his mind” … in my mind, I remembered this line as “but Luke’s thoughts … were elsewhere”
Hi, pretty sure you are right. There are at least 2 dozen cases of alternate takes being used. As well as sound effects and music. I even caught a few lines taken from other movies in the trilogy.
Good times :)
Most of us have seen the movies enough times to have things memorized and know when something is off. :)
Cheers from Canada
@@steveharvey2102 oh wow, cause I listened to the one i had hundreds of times and remember the narrator saying that distinctly - good look
Tyvm for this.
I still thiis album, mint condition.
I never had this tape, but I had "The Ewoks Join the Fight" which basically told the last half of the movie
You legend, epic upload!
damn, I didn't even know this existed! My childhood is ruined! Ruined I tell you!!!!
I had this on vinyl, plus I remember when they played the movies in radio dramatizations and how looked forward to each week a new part
I still have the three original cassettes and books/covers. I listen to them once every couple of years, always loved listening to them as a boy, great memories of a momentous movie that rocked our world in 77. I was 7.
You had the Star Wars one on casette?
I thought they did that one on record only.
Maybe they rereleased it in 83, to have them be consistent.
Cheers from Canada
@@steveharvey2102 Hi Steve yes on cassette. The three cassettes came with the cover the vinyl would have been in I guess due to the booklet enclosed was vinyl sized. Your question as to was the cassette released later in 83, maybe I can't remember now. In those days here in NZ we got everything late, Star Wars came out in 77 we had to wait until 78.
I remember getting this from the book bus in Seattle we didn’t have a library in my neighborhood I’m South Park because it’s in a valley at the edge of Seattle and everything is up a big hill or downtown it is at the city limit just a little neighborhood that was next to Boeing and the industrial area and it had a river that goes thru it no way for a kid to get out of there on his bike just to far and I put in for the months before and it finally came I was so happy I dubbed it as a matter of fact this was my first dub lolz wow
Excellent. Haven't heard this adaptation before.
Fam! I, too, used to listen to this tape. I also had two different versions of Empire, and one was using dialog and sound from the movie, the other... was not.
I was lucky enough to get audio copies of NPR"s Radio adaptation of Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back
It would have been cool to show the Read Along pages along with the R2D2 prompts to turn the page, but this is nice, too.
Unfortunately I don't have them, otherwise I would've
@@ryanthefilmmaker2574 Understood. After nearly 40 years, I don't have them either. Ah, dare to dream, right?
I had this on vinyl
I still have this record from when I was a kid.
Haha memories! I have this on vinyl! 🙌
05:51
The commercially released version of "Lapti Nek"! 😸
Ken Hiller (the narrator) passed away in 2016.
It's cool to hear the little differences in sound effects, music cues and even different takes of well known dialogue.
The narrator voice of the great Danny Dark.
I know this entire cassette by heart. Any challengers to prove it? :D
You're not the only one lol
@@ryanthefilmmaker2574 his voice added all levels of emotion. subtleties.
Can we shout out how there were many alternate takes of lines are on these tapes/records?!
Sometimes they were better than the ones actually used in the films in my opinion.
I cannot understand why they do not release ALL of the filmed scenes and alternate takes for an ultimate collector's edition that they would make millions and millions of dollars on.
STAR WARS RETURN OF THE JEDI 40TH ANNIVERSARY 1983-2023!
I've got this too!
@Ryan TheFilmMaker this is fantastic! I cannot find the Star Wars or Empire strikes Back versions on your channel?
Like so many people I listen to these while playing with my figures because we didn't have a VCR yet.
They did such a great job of isolating the original dialogue that has been lost in so many remixes and special editions.
Thank you for uploading this !
Hi there! I'm glad you also appreciate these cassettes. Unfortunately, I never had the tapes for A New Hope or Empire. I wish I did, but alas.
❤❤❤
In addition to this LP, I also had Indiana jones and the Black Hole. This was the closest thing to owning the movie we had back in the day. Lol
Music: John Williams(1983)
Directed by:Richard Marquand
1918
42:05 The Return of a Jedi
I think I still got the lp.
The only way to relive the film till it was finally released on vhs
I wish I still had my copy
