[ Star Wars AudioBooks ]

Star Wars Audio Books
Why read a book when you can listen to one? Audio adaptations of Star Wars stories have existed since Brian Daley's radio dramatisation of Star Wars was first broadcast on US National Public Radio in 1981. Since then many major stories, particularly novels, have been adapted for audio either as a dramatisation that continues in the same vein as Daley's work story such as Dark Empire and Dark Lords of the Sith; or as an audio recording of an abridged reading of a novel (sometimes with added sound effects and background music).

The Apps were digital representations of graphic novels and over the next 2 years a total of just eleven Star Wars comic stories were made available as Apps.
In 2011 THQ's license expired and Dark Horse Comics launched their own in-house digital comics store Dark Horse Digital.
