STAR WARS SLAVE SHIP

What a great audio performer is Anthony Heald! He wends his way through a narrative replete with tongue-twisting alien names and never once slips up. He gives full-flavored performance of humans and aliens, spider-like and otherwise, and is instantly believable. And behind him run the thundering Star Wars music and the intricately detailed Star Wars sound effects, the latter so finely tuned that even apparently distant and faint sounds are intensely real. The story centers one one of the fans' favorite minor characters, the anti-hero bounty hunter Boba Fett, as he captures bad guys in the face of much opposition. D.R.W.
