Last year, Del Rey released its second audio production, Doctor Aphra. It was in the same vein as Dooku: Jedi Lost, but this audio play is an expanded adaptation of Aphra’s Marvel comic series, issues one through six. The book is the script of the audiobook.
I loved the audio play for Dooku: Jedi Lost but I have not had the opportunity to listen to the one for Doctor Aphra, so my only exposure to the story is the comics and this script. Honestly this format just did not work for me. I’m sure the audio version of this would be just as good as Dooku: Jedi Lost, but the script just cannot could capture the story as engagingly as I know the full audio production would. If you are interested in Doctor Aphra I would encourage you to check out the comics or the audio play. Doctor Aphra is rated 2 out of 5 stars.
