That's amazing... I'm exactly the same way. In fact, I've even done my own CD labels for the discs, and I used Ralph McQuarrie's concept art for that very reason. It goes along with the whole idea of this being Star Wars, but from a slightly different perspective.

Here's a couple of samples of what I've done (the resolution here is crappy, sorry):

Amazingly, I was able to find a McQuarrie picture to match the story on each disc of not only Star Wars, but Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi as well.

Another thing I like about the NPR series is the catchy episode names! Aren't they great?


They do totally make me feel like a kid listening to a radio drama set back some time in the '50s.
