I absolutely love Leia's voice in this.

I prefer her over Fisher.  Much more expressive and a deeper character.  Part of the depth comes from the fact that she has a much bigger role in this version.  This is six hours vs two, and Leia is central to a great deal of it.  The chapter with her and her father on Alderaan is one of my favorite parts of the story.

All of the Luke and Biggs stuff is golden.

Very much so.  After a lifetime of seeing a few b&w shots and some grainy footage of a huge part of the story that was left out - it is especially neat to finally have it in it's entirety.   In fact, the entire first chapter is fantastic.  You get a much better understanding of Luke by seeing how his friends treat him.  You understand why he's sort of a loner.

Fisher as Leia is bloody marvellous. No way does the radio actress do better. I hate the Leia chapter of the radio drama. It feels very fake to me. Plus the actress gets Leia all wrong.

 It's kinda apples and oranges. Radio drama is a whole different ballgame than film acting. Would Carrie Fisher's husky voice fading in and out of English accent be as compelling without her defiant chin in the air, facial expressions, and body language? Would the NPR actess be too overwrought if we could see her face in adition to hearing her extemely emotive voice?

Mark Hamil did a fine job, but look how successful a voice actor he's been in the past.
