Episode 200; Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, Review

14/10/2020

 

For the Two hundredth episode of Audiobooks Entertained I thought it would be fun to invite a guest on. But then I thought no it's the 200th episode so instead you have me and two other voices to talk all things Dr Aphra.

Episode 73; The Physics of Star Wars: The Science Behind a Galaxy Far, Far Away, Review

1/12/2017

 
Physics can be a daunting subject, however I have always found a great gateway into a subject into a difficult area is through a medium you enjoy. In The Physics of Star Wars we get a look into the principals of subject as they pertain to the phenomena we find in the Star Wars universe. The fact it's also an audiobook is just the icing on the cake.

​Each chapter deals with a specific area such as how are Light-sabres formed and could we make Deathstar?  This allows a drop in type of listening especially handy when relistening.

Episode 39; Phasma: Star Wars: Star Wars, The Last Jedi, Review

8/9/2017

 
Deliah S. Dawson does the job I wish The Force Awakens was able to do and give the First Order a level of menace that you have to pay attention to.

Within the 12 hour running time of Phasma we get a glimpse at the person underneath the chrome armour and it certainly leaves an impact that I did not feel watching the film.

The story is narrated by January LaVoy and helps to give me greater hope that the Last Jedi will give us the villains we deserve.

Episode 23; The Princess Diarist, Review

4/7/2017

 
Carrie Fisher takes us back to 1977 in this sort of Memoir of the filming of Star Wars. Instead of being a number of anecdotes from the time Fisher looks at who she was in these years thanks to diaries she created at the time and lost until she started writing the book.

With the time we spend with her we will get a glimpse into a complex and enigmatic character filled with hopes, dreams and nerves. However for me the book really comes to life when Fisher talks about her later life in a very candid and self deprecating look into he life of everyone's favourite Space Princess.
