2 Cassettes, Abridged
Performed by Anthony Daniels
This is the gripping conclusion to the number one bestselling saga, in a spectacular three-hour abridgement of Hugo Award-winning author Timothy Zahn's novel of the final confrontation, authorised by Lucasfilm Ltd and performed by Anthony Daniels, who played C3PO in the 'Star Wars' films.
'Heir To The Empire' and 'Dark Force Rising', the first two tales in the cycle, reacquainted listeners everywhere with characters Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and others from the most popular trilogy in movie history. 'The Last Command' begins five years after the events of the 'Star Wars' film 'Return Of The Jedi'. Hopes are dim in the fragile New Republic as Grand Admiral Thrawn and his clone soldiers mount a final siege, threatening the Republic's ruin.
While Princess Leia prepares for the birth of her Jedi twins, Han Solo and Chewbacca struggle to form a wary alliance of smugglers in a last-ditch attack against the Empire. But the republic's only real hope is a small force led by Luke Skywalker. They must penetrate Thrawn's stronghold to face the ultimate danger - the Dark Jedi C'baoth, who is building his strength to finish what he had already started: Luke's destruction, in a final battle of Good and Evil.
