Great audiobook!

Publisher's Summary
Dr. Aphra teams up with Darth Vader himself in this audiobook original - an expanded adaptation of the critically acclaimed Marvel comics series, performed by a full cast.
Dr. Chelli Lona Aphra, rogue archaeologist, is in trouble again.
A pioneer in the field of criminal xenoarchaeology, Aphra recognizes no law, has no fear, and possesses no impulse control. To her, the true worth of the galactic relics she discovers isn’t found in a museum, but in an arsenal. This viewpoint has led to a lot of misunderstandings. After her latest plan goes horribly wrong, her roguish ways are on the verge of catching up to her, when suddenly Darth Vader, terror of the galaxy, swoops in with his lightsaber ignited and...saves her life?
Don’t get her wrong - it’s not like she’s ungrateful. Sure, her new boss is a lord of the Sith. And okay, she may have just become a pawn in a deadly game being played by him and his boss, who happens to be the Galactic Emperor. And yes, the life expectancy of anyone who disappoints Vader can be measured in seconds.
But she’s back doing what she does best. She’s got a ship to fly, a heist to pull, and two unorthodox but effective metal buddies: Triple-Zero, a protocol droid specializing in etiquette, customs, translation, and torture; and BT-1, an astromech loaded with enough firepower to take down a battlecruiser. Together, they might just find a way to get the job done and avoid the deadly performance review that waits at its conclusion.
Just kidding. She’s doomed.
Cast:
- Emily Woo Zeller as Doctor Aphra
- Jonathan Davis as Boba Fett
- Sean Patrick Hopkins as Luke Skywalker
- Sean Kenin as Triple-Zero
- Nicole Lewis as Sana Starros
- Carol Monda as Maz Kanata
- Euan Morton as The Emperor

A fantastic introduction to a new SW character
I had never read any Dr Aphra comics but I knew that she was a popular character. After listening to this audio drama, I now understand that her popularity is well deserved. The cast was wonderful but the standout by far for me was Emily Woo Zeller who gives a powerhouse performance. She infuses Aphra with swagger and bravado but underneath it all, there is a touching sense of humanity. I highly recommend this drama if you are wanting to listen to a good, fun Star Wars adventure.

Mostly Awesome!
Only problem is weird casting for already known characters like Han and Leia. They didn't sound right and it did take me out of the book occasionally, but all the new characters (and Vader, who is super prominent) have absolutely great voice acting! Even the others were alright, they just sound too different.
Story was excellent. I already love Aphra thanks to her comics and I already read the comics this is based on, but this audiobook added quite a lot more than I expected, and the additions are great!
I also really enjoyed the way the book is presented as an actual recording by the character Aphra, as if this audiobook is a recording from the character herself.
Overall, absolutely great aside from some smaller cameo characters sounding pretty far off.

This is absolutely brilliant
It's even better than the comic and perfectly captures the spirit. Funny as hell and Chelli is endlessly likeable. Dr. Aphra is my favorite Star Wars of the Disney era outside of maybe Rogue One. I would buy 10 more of these if they made them. 100. And I would totally subscribe to Disney+ if they actually make the rumored Aphra series. And I don't even like Disney or want to give them my money! I say that just to emphasize how badly I want more Aphra in every possible medium.

Garbage, trash, gave me headache!
I don’t want to hear about anyone’s sexual preference, especially in star wars ....even more so if it’s empty and pointless. I am all for a good emotional connection among characters if it fits and if I’m not reminded about how horny she is for a girl she forced herself on every other chapter. I get that ur gay but what the heck does it have to do with anything Star Wars. When the galaxy far away feels more like our world then they are doing it wrong. Sexuality shouldn’t be a character trait and if it is , there are other agendas being pushed. Thanks KK and story group for this type of crap in our star wars story’s. Do better🤬

Not an original story. Lifted from Vader comic.
Don’t get me wrong, the performances are great and the internal monologues are funny and insightful. But most of the story and dialogue was lifted word for word from the vader comics by Keiron Gillen. If you were looking for a new story, Don’t waste your credits.

EXCELLENT
Even though I’d read the comics and knew the ending, I absolutely LOVED this retelling. Emily Woo Zeller brought just the right amount of sass and vulnerability to Aphra. With the exception of one couple-minute exchange between Aphra and Sana (Nicole Lewis) the voices were distinct and clear and well-acted.
Biggest complaint? It was TOO SHORT! I wanted MORE! :-)

Lacking any real plot content
I read the Dr. Aphra comics and enjoyed them. I also have been very pleased with a lot of the Star Wars books lately but this one just doesn’t meet the standards that the Thrawn series, Alphabet Squadron, and others have set. The plot is meandering and seemingly pointless and the personality quirks of Aphra that come through in the comics are more just annoying in this version. I would recommend going for a different expanded universe book.

Pour One Out For The Disaster Gays
an absolutely delightful story set between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back Aphra follows new to non-comics fans character Doctor Chelloni Aphra as she ends up with Darth Vader trying to figure out who this mysterious kid that destroyed the Death Star is. Emily Woo Zeller is an absolute delight as disaster lesbian space archaeologist Aphra and the rest of the cast sprinkled in make for a fun performance.
if you've read the comic arcs Aphra is based on one of the best things about listening is when a line of dialogue from the comics pops up and you can picture the panel. if you haven't read the comics it's absolutely not necessary as this is a comprehensive introduction to Aphra in a setting most star wars fans know well.

Very Annoying Character
Dr Aphra was written in a very annoying way. And the way she was narrated made it even worse. I think she would’ve been better voiced in an English instead of an annoying American one.
Also it would be helpful to categorize titles that have a lot of gay content in it. I really don’t want to be hearing Star Wars characters that are gay. Completely ruins the experience. I listen to Star Wars so that i can get away from this world and forget the nuances of it, bringing in controversial topics/issues like that just put a sower taste to Disney’s acquisitions Star Wars. Def not the Star Wars i remember back in the day.

Really fun time !
Aphra became my favorite Star Wars comics character, so i had to listen to this audiobook.
The major problem with this story is that it's not an original one : it's a retelling of a vader storyline as well some mainline star wars comics through Aphra's eyes. But since i didn't read those, i didn't have a problem. everything else was great !
i love how everything is being told through Aphra's totally unbiased point of view. It makes for some pretty funny moments and various comments on the different characters The story also has its touching moments.
Aphra is proven once more to be one of my favorite new canon SW characters, as well as a cool representation for the LGBT+ community.
Easy recommend from me. Especially if you never read the comics it takes from.
