The Courtship of Princess Leia is the complete, spoken-word adaptation of the novel of the same title by Dave Wolverton, which is part of the Star Wars Legends series. January LaVoy narrates this audiobook version, which Random House Audio launched on January 23, 2024 as a component of The Essential Legends Collection.
Before Princess Leia Organa and Han Solo tied the knot, another potential husband threatened to disrupt their destined love story...
Princess Leia is on the hunt for affluent and influential allies to incorporate into the Rebel Alliance, as well as a new planetary home for the refugees from her destroyed home world of Alderaan. She considers a marriage proposal that could shift the balance of power against the sinister Empire. The Hapes Consortium, a group of 63 worlds, is governed by the Queen Mother, who desires Leia to wed her son, the charming and prosperous Prince Isolder.
Han Solo has always envisioned marrying Leia himself, and now he embarks on a last-ditch, desperate attempt to win her affections. Through trickery, Han persuades Leia to accompany him, then flees with her to the beautiful and wild planet Dathomir, hoping to capture her heart.
Luke Skywalker, fearing the haughty queen’s reaction to Han’s impulsive action, forges an improbable alliance with Prince Isolder to locate the runaways. Soon, Isolder, Luke, and Artoo find themselves in the midst of an adventure that leads to an incredible treasure, a group of Force-sensitive "witches," and a final confrontation with an unbeatable enemy.
Marc Thompson voices the audiobook, which was made available by Random House Audio on December 19, 2023 as part of the The Essential Legends Collection. It was recorded at Magick Lantern by John St. Denis and edited by Justin Kilpatrick with post-production and sound mixing by Paul Goodrich. Kevin Thomsen produced and directed it, while Nick Martorelli acted as executive producer.
