About this listen

Celebrate the greatest saga ever told: All of us who are deeply influenced by the epic saga of Star Wars have our favorite moments. Each time the screen goes black and you see those words - "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away" - the music blasts through you, and you're a kid again. Ken Napzok, expert appreciator of Star Wars, counts down each one of those special moments that makes this series not just the best movies of all time, but the greatest saga ever told.

Become a scholar of Star Wars: What began as one movie about good people, evil oppressors, and the space wizards that stood between them has exploded into a franchise. The moments that continue to inspire are on screen and in the pages of novels. They are found in the panels of comic books and among animated sequences on television. And they all continue to grow in stature, importance, and myth through discussions, debates, and daydreams.

Why We Love Star Wars: The Great Moments That Built a Galaxy Far, Far Away is the ultimate gift for the film buff who has binged all 1001 Movies to See Before You Die and the super-fan who covets Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia and Star Wars: Complete Locations.

The book was in my package and I didn't know what to expect from it, but it was a good surprise. Nice hearing from a fan what he loves about Star Wars. All the moments he shared were also part of my journey to loving this universe. Thank you for reminding me.

Make no mistake this is someone's opinions about star wars and I found myself disagreeing with many of this guys choices, but I also felt the love and nostalgia. It challenges you to think about things in a different light and I heartily recommend this book, even if you don't agree with everything.... the Last Jedi IS a Hutt turd of a film 🤣

Worth listening to if you are a star wars fan.

Having always loved Star Wars myself, it was just a joy to listen to this. Always fun to be reminded of all these great scenes, pieces of music and d characters, but this was also presented in a really funny and engaging way, Just great.

What a joyful listen

To be fair, I’m a big fan of Ken Napzok anyway. He has one of the best understandings of the franchise, not just in a “I can name every alien in the cantina.” type of way (although I’m pretty sure he can) but he really understands what the stories and more importantly, he can break down these moments for us in a way that reminds us why we fell in love with the stories in the first place.

Great walk through great SW moments

This truly is why we love star wars. From prequelist to sequelist, fans will love this and identify with alot of what the "pit boss" states. I found myself agreeing with the majority (not all) of what he delivered as a personal account of what he deems are the reasons that the magic that makes star wars bind us together as fans. Love it!!

A great personal account.
