REMASTERED Han Solo at Stars’ End Audiobook (unofficial and unabridged)

[@Ben-oq5wp]

This is great. I can't believe Brian Daley died in 1996. I searched for these all over when I was like 12. I remember liking them, but I appreciate this way more as an adult. Especially as we got like maybe five minutes of classic Han Solo in the Force Awakens and Solo just didn't capture things for me.

[@Ben-oq5wp]

Finished!

[@frankfrimperton8266]

I remember stumbling across these books tucked away in my middle school library like 20 years ago. Was so excited to learn there was more to the series than the movies

[@scottfree9601]

What a discovery! It's like finding a long list manuscript in a hidden tomb.

[@frederickthesquirrel]

Not many people can use "colloidal" in an action scene. This author's vocabulary is massive

[@randyloveskathy]

Very glad you put this up. I’m listening to this for the second time because I enjoyed it so much. Some of that is Brian Daily and some of that is you!

[@sdsconstruction]

thanks for this posting! I found these books when they were first published since I was 10 in 1977 for the star wars movies and was immediately hooked. To find novels like Brian's was fantastic and about Han and Chewbacca, my favorite characters, was amazing! If I could find Ron Howard and have a talk with him about his work on the Solo movie, I would ask him to go back and reshoot the last scene with Han and Chewie heading out in the Falcon and ask Ron to include one additional line. As Han mentions to Chewie about the gang being assembled by the Hutts on Tatooine, I would have Han mention about heading into the Corporate Sector first. With just that one reference, we have Brian Daley's novels as "canon" and we have them as potential stand alone new Han/Chewie movies (although I know this is incredibly unlikely). But the idea of the possibility is cool. They did this with the Lando novels by having Lando recording his "memoirs" which were the Lando novel storylines. Clever and wonderful to include those. The same could have been done here with Brian's novels as well. Again, thanks for the audio novel post!

[@decadebird]

That would be awesome. It can still work out. In the EU, Han and Chewy work for Jabba before they go to the Corporate Sector.

[@sdsconstruction]

​@@decadebird Hmmmmm. I missed that bit. Now if I can only get ahold of the billion dollar lottery ticket, I could self-finance the whole trilogy of Han movies!

[@decadebird]

@@sdsconstruction Maybe we can convince DarthAngelus to animate it after his Thrawn Trilogy.

[@davidradich9342]

NO WAY! Been wanting this since the 80s! Loved this book when I first read it in Middle School!

[@alicesowders292]

Soooo many years later and so fit from todays cannon. In new hope Han was already a legend so now we know what for .

[@fiktivhistoriker345]

Just came here for a like. I read this story decades ago and it still is my second best liked Star Wars story after "Han Solo and the Lost Legacy". And followed closely by "Han Solos Revenge".

Would love to see this made into a Star Wars story movie

[@decadebird]

Totally

[@bigbird2240]

We don’t need the books ruined by movies , the original and prequels served their purpose which was to give us a visual for all the stories

[@bigbird2240]

Cant get over how good you are getting at this , the explosion 💥 was awesome touch ! 5:38:12 🤯 💥

[@decadebird]

Thanks again. I heard it in my head as I read it. Though, I am must proud of the squish effect I used at the climax of ThonBoka.

[@bigbird2240]

This voice is the best one so far (in my opinion) it’s so good

[@samkeith647]

You are a legend and a hero. Thank you so much for this.

[@decadebird]

Haha. And you are too kind.

[@theexperience2037]

I'd love to hear this in the style of the Star Wars audio cassettes

[@decadebird]

Haha. This chapter is continued on side B.

[@bigbird2240]

Maybe even some fuzzy sound affects and tape sound effects lol

[@maxhistory2000]

This was fantastic, thanks so much for sharing!

[@noahgriffith1029]

Thanks for the upload! Made it my new years resolution to read as much of the legends as I could! Just finished chapter 5 and man did it drag on, hopefully it picks up pace in chapter 6

[@noahgriffith1029]

Chapter 7 is the best so far! Not even close!

[@jimmyviaductophilelawley5587]

Thankyou so much. Clear as a bell!

[@decadebird]

You are so welcome. I’m glad to hear it.

[@greyclaa]

So glad KZbin suggested your channel - awesome work!! When Ep 1 came out I wondered if the Trade Federation was a spinoff of the Corporate Sector Authority. If only they had developed these into feature films right?

[@decadebird]

These would make excellent films. I agree.

[@bigbird2240]

Any inside info on what you working on now ? Maybe a short story or book? Dig magazine lost city of tatoine is awesome

[@decadebird]

The REMASTER of Han Solo's Revenge will drop this Sunday Night. I have started working on the REMASTER of Lost Legacy, and it will feature some new tricks. I have not read Lost City of Tatooine. I think I will go after one of the greats that was overly abridged next. UNOFFICIAL AND UNABRIDGED...ALWAYS UNABRIDGED.

[@bigbird2240]

@@decadebird cool! Thanks! Another idea is to take your favorite stories out of a book like tales from jabbas palace and do one per story to practice . Looking forward to new stuff ! Been helping me get through work man !

Do you have an email contact? I'm interested in sharing what I have from the Hungarian translation project so far, as well as some of the rarer novellas and short stories, if you want to pursue them down the road.

[@bigbird2240]

Wow ! Any update ?

[@bigbird2240]

Any update on this ?

[@Ben-oq5wp]

Do you have to render out audio files for the whole book for each voice you use and then splice the right dialog line in at the right place in the narrator's audio clip? Or is there a text to speech app that allows for different voices automatically?

[@decadebird]

I made this one a while ago. I am pretty sure on this one, I recorded the whole book with one voice, then went back and used modulations and filters to differentiate between characters.

[@Ben-oq5wp]

@@decadebird Oh wow. That sounds like a lot of work. What do you do these days?

[@decadebird]

@@Ben-oq5wp Usually, I just go in order. I start with one voice for the narrator (that voice tends to lend itself to the POV character), and I change voices as other characters speak, or the perspective changes. Recently, I have experimented doing some of the voiceover myself as well. I won't lie, it takes time, but it usually doesn't feel like work. Pretty much, whatever method I use, it ends up taking a minimum of three hours to produce one hour of audio.

[@TylerScherzberg-wq5ct]

Did you remove the narration by Alex Volz?

[@decadebird]

There are copyright issues with the audiobooks held by the LOC for NLS.
