"Stjernekrigen" audiotape

The Stjernekrigen (literally, "the star war") audiotape was a Danish audioplay released on audiotape with an accompanying booklet in 1982 (and re-release in 1983 and 1996) based on A New Hope. It was originally released by Vista. It featured the voice actors Peter Kitter as Han Solo and Darth Vader, and Paul Glargaard as Luke Skywalker, Red Leader and the narrator, among others.

The tape is celebrated among Danish Star Wars as a kitchy gem. It is notorious its odd translations of many of the original concepts, its general kitchy phrasing and several instances of mispronunciations of the English names that were not translated.

The tape was followed by Imperiet Slår Igen and Jedi-Ridderen Vender Tilbage with mostly the same cast.
