The anniversary edition of Heir to the Empire is coming when ?

I know there is an unabridged audio-recording on CD being read by Marc Thompson coming out a bit later than the hardback.

Del Rey claims sales figures will be figured into whether or not they reprint Dark Force Rising or the Last Command as special annotated hardback editions, or full unabridged audio recordings.

Kind of sad though that the abridged recordings from audio-cassette are not being reissued on CD, the first one read by Wedge Antilles Dennis Lawson, and the other 2 read by C-3PO or Anthony "tony" Daniels.

I managed to find an unabridged version online. It's actually digitized from audio cassettes. While the reader isn't great, I prefer the unabridged versions of books in almost all cases.

Is not that old unabridged just a bare dry recording it has no sound effects, no music and no acting or dramatization of the material.

The new Del Rey unabridged volumes have all the above.

They sound like an official Lucasfilm/Lucasbooks production which they are.
