Location: Las Vegas, NV		The Star Wars audiobooks add a lot to the listening experience, including sound and voice effects and even background music at times. And they generally have good narrators, even if the books themselves aren't all 100% fantastic. There are a big number of abridged audiobooks in the Star Wars listening library, too, though, that I refuse to listen to. Reading (or listening to) an abridged book is not reading what the author wrote. I have the same problem watching full screen DVDs or VHS cassettes, lol. I'm missing the edges of the action and pan and scan is just terrible and obvious. Sorry...going on a bit of a rant. Lol. That's probably why I also prefer director's cuts of films usually, because it was their original vision. Not that cut material necessarily makes the film better than the uncut, but it was still the director's original vision, what he wanted to say.
