I've been listening to some Star Wars audio books over the years... Some good. Most bad.
The first two I read (listened to) were so bad it was almost funny. Almost...
Tales of the Jedi 1 / Tales of the Jedi 2
I understand Tales of the Jedi 1 and 2 are based upon comics (the image above is the cover of one).
I'm happy I've never even seen those comics, as the stories seem to have been drawn up by a 12 year old, and the audio-books sound like they were enacted by his 4 years younger brother. The sound effects are poor, the voices are totally over-the-top-over-acted, it's almost funny... if it wasn't that bad.
The verdict
Burn your tape / throw away that CD / delete that MP3 file / feed the book to the dog before listening or reading...
Awful.
