To celebrateStar Wars'40th anniversary , a collection of short stories written by forty celebrated authors , titledFrom a Certain Point of View , will commemorate four decades , ten feature films , and a nearly endless pot of characters within George Lucas ' galaxy far , far aside . What ’s more is that the audiobook will feature top - tier teller , including Jon Hamm ( Baby Driver , Mad Men ) as the rogue bounty hunter , Boba Fett .
This collection of scant stories cover a blanket gamut ofStar Warslore - tackle everything and everyone from Captain Antilles fromRogue Oneto Aunt Beru ’s subdued aliveness on Tatooine . As a whole , each story will centre primarily on supporting reference , rather than chief characters . Some authors who incorporated their own stories include Wil Wheaton ( the doer and self - profess geek fromStand by Me ) , Meg Cabot ( The Princess Diaries),and even Lucasfilm Story Group ’s own Pablo Hidalgo .
Produced by Aaron Blank and Nick Martorelli , the audiobook will feature an impressive pedigree of phonation talent , with the most recognizable voice belonging to Hamm , as well as Neil Patrick Harris , who will vocalize an Imperial Officer stationed inside the Death Star . The other voice actors let in : Jonathan Davis , Ashley Eckstein , Janina Gavankar , January LaVoy , Saskia Maarleveld , Carol Monda , Daniel José Older , and Marc Thompson .
In an consultation withStarWars.com , Blank and Martorelli explain why they felt the voice talents let in in the audiobook was so important to them . Blank also explain the welfare of short stories versus full length novel when it comes to attracting certain doer to this sort of task :
" We got favourable this metre in From a sure Point of View with all the multiple first person points of view . In plus to multiple perspectives , short account mean a small time commitment in the transcription studio , and that enabled us to act on some big names ! We jazz some of these readers — like Jon Hamm ( say as Boba Fett ) and Neil Patrick Harris ( reading about an regal officer in the Death Star ) — might not be available for an entire audiobook , but we were able to land them on board for this undertaking . "
He also touched on the fact that theStar Warsappeal is n’t only trammel to audiences , but the endowment behind the scenes as well :
" I ’m always impressed by audiobook storyteller ’ loyalty to being fans , and find that such dedication comes through in the quality of their performance . Marc Thompson is a die - hard sports fan , so much so that he has enough Star Wars T - shirt to wear out a different one to each day of recording ! "
