Just finished the two radio adaptations of ESB and ROTJ. A bit disappointing as they do have nearly as much extra material as ANH. Still Empire is a bit better in terms of what they did add, as other than a cute cameo with Arica and some fun references to Shadows of the Empire, there's not much to Jedi, especially given that Mark Hamill and Billy Dee Williams aren't involved in it.  

Vader constantly having to provide exposition about actions is hilarious; you make a drinking game out of the number of times he narrates what he's going to do Luke next. 

 Yeah, Jedi adds very little.  It was completed 13 years after ESB radio drama.  Daley was actually dying as they were recording.  They held a party celebrating its completion, which he attended, and he died later that same day.  I suspect he didn't have the energy to expand upon it the way he had before.  I still enjoy it, but ANH is the best of the radio dramas.
