Tuned in to one of the local NPR stations tonight,
and found myself listening to a reading of the original STAR WARS!
NOT, as near as I could tell, the original actors;
OB1 was certainly not Alec Guiness, although Luke might have been
read by Mark Hammill.  Real sound track, too.  Sound effects, of
course, may or may not have been home-brew.  The effects for R2D2
sounded quite authentic.  Anybody else hearing this on their station?
 
By the way, the segment I came in on was Luke's run over the death
star.  As near as I could make out, he did NOT miss on any first run
with the computer, and later make good by using The Force;  it sounded
more like he started to make the run using the computer, but got
talked out of it by Ben's ghost, on the same run.  This seems to jive
with how I remember the movie, though I could easily be wrong.
