"Tales of The Jedi" and other audio comics

I picked up three new Star Wars audio books to tide me over until ROTS drops next Thursday -- Tales of The Jedi, Dark Lords of The Sith and Dark Empire. They're produced in radio show style with full casts and lots of sound effects.

Unfortunately, the stories are a bit lame. All three are based on comic books, and you really feel that something went missing in the translation to audio. I felt a lot more dialogue was needed to paint a full picture.

I was particularly underwhelmed by the ease with which seemingly sane people went over to the Dark Side. More on that some other time.

Five days and a wake up, as we used to say in the Army.
