BEHIND THE SCENES OF STAR WARS AUDIOBOOKS

READERS MARC THOMPSON AND JONATHAN DAVIS TAKE STARWARS.COM INSIDE A FAN-FAVORITE ART FORM.
Two great constants of Star Wars are its rich storytelling and its ability to take us on amazing adventures in a galaxy far, far away. But that doesn’t just go for film. Star Wars is equally powerful in other forms, including one that might not immediately come to mind: audiobooks.

Audiobooks have the ability to transform mundane, everyday tasks into opportunities to have an unforgettable experience. While folding the laundry, you can be right alongside Finn and Rey as they escape from a barrage of TIE fighters while aboard the Millennium Falcon, with John Williams’ epic score blasting in the background. With classic sound effects and music integrated into them, Star Wars audiobooks are fully-immersive productions.

At the heart of an audiobook is the narrator, who acts as the medium between the fan and the far reaches of the Star Wars galaxy. StarWars.com was lucky enough to talk with two of the incredible voice actors behind Star Wars audiobooks: Marc Thompson and Jonathan Davis. Together, these two men have lent their voices to over 50 audiobooks in the Star Wars universe, and are considered titans of the medium.
