Fun and delightful audio romp with great LGBT representation that's let down by a one dimensional lead that jumps between lovable rogue and manic pixie girl who has chronic backstabbing disorder, and a flair for the obvious bait-and-switch. That's not to say there isn't an arc - Aphra has a character has truly grown by the end of the audiobook. But it's due to a fair chunk of exposition and speaking-directly-to-the-reader. I wonder if the audio-drama medium doesn't allow enough space for characters to grow or their personality to truly become multi-dimensional, or the capacity to show-don't-tell. It doesn't stand out as much in the comic format - what is it about it being spoken that changes it? Other comments: > Vader feels scary. Kudos to the voice actor and the writing for those scenes. > The voice actress for Leia doesn't not sound like Leia, at all. > Yes we get it, Triple-0. You like to murder. Sarah Kuhn’s Star Wars: Doctor Aphra follows rogue archaeologist Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra and her droids, Triple-Zero and Beetee, as they work for Darth Vader in his quest to learn more about Skywalker, the pilot that destroyed the Death Star, without Imperial forces learning of his interest. Kuhn tells the story in the first-person from Aphra’s perspective, with Aphra narrating events for the listener (this was originally an audio drama) to fill in events from her own backstory as well as the various off-the-books tasks she performed for Darth Vader. Aphra first appeared in Marvel Comics’ Darth Vader no. 3 (2015) and has quickly become a fan-favorite character. In a franchise full of memorable characters operating outside the law, she’s particularly enjoyable, an Indiana Jones-type for the modern Star Wars fan. Kuhn writes Aphra brilliantly and has a lot of fun with her, weaving in events from Marvel’s Star Wars comics as well as other works set between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. This is a fun read that’s sure to entertain fans. Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Dr. Aphra teams up with Darth Vader himself in this original script of the thrilling Star Wars audiobook production. Dr. Chelli Lona Aphra, rogue archaeologist, is in trouble again. A pioneer in the field of criminal xenoarchaeology, Aphra recognizes no law, has no fear, and possesses no impulse control. To her, the true worth of the galactic relics she discovers isn't found in a museum but in an arsenal. This viewpoint has led to a lot of misunderstandings. After her latest plan goes horribly wrong, her roguish ways are on the verge of catching up to her. That's when suddenly Darth Vader, terror of the galaxy, swoops in with his lightsaber and...saves her life? Don't get her wrong--it's not like she's ungrateful. Sure, her new boss is a lord of the Sith. And okay, she may have just become a pawn in a deadly game being played by him and his boss, who happens to be the Galactic Emperor. And yes, the life expectancy of anyone who disappoints Vader can be measured in seconds. But she's back doing what she does best. She's got a ship to fly, a heist to pull, and two unorthodox but effective metal buddies: Triple-Zero, a protocol droid specializing in etiquette, customs, translation, and torture, and BT-1, anastromech loaded with enough firepower to take down a battlecruiser. Together, they might just find a way to get the job done and avoid the deadly performance review that waits at its conclusion. Just kidding. She's doomed Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
