Surprise Star Wars audiobook drops on Audible

As a seasoned Star Wars aficionado with a library overflowing with books and countless hours spent on the galaxy far, far away, I can confidently say that the sudden arrival of “Star Wars: Padawan’s Pride” has left me utterly exhilarated! This unexpected audiobook drop from Disney-Lucasfilm Press and Audible Originals feels like a secret Rebel base hidden within the expanses of hyperspace, ready to be explored.

Instead of waiting for months with eager anticipation for new Star Wars book releases, fans were taken by surprise this time around as they discovered on Thursday morning that an entirely unanticipated Star Wars audiobook had suddenly become available.

Star Wars: Padawan’s Pride, an engaging middle-grade book, has been published by Disney-Lucasfilm Press and illustrated by Jake Bartok. The story was penned by Bryan Q. Miller and narrated by Kevin Kemp. This captivating tale is exclusively available on the Audible platform as part of a broader series known as “Star Wars Adventures: Audible Originals.” This suggests that it’s the initial installment in a lineup of similar future releases.

As described in the synopsis, the narrative unfolds three years following Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, featuring the central characters Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker.

During a crucial mission, Obi-Wan is compelled to depart from the planet, leaving Anakin as the sole one in command. What might potentially lead to trouble for him?

Star Wars publishing usually doesn’t surprise us with sudden new projects, but this announcement has been met with little grumbles of approval. There aren’t many Canon stories that unfold between “The Phantom Menace” and “Attack of the Clones,” but if you’re eager for more, “Mace Windu: The Glass Abyss” by Steven Barnes will hit shelves next month. It’s speculated that future books in this series could also be set during a similar timeframe.

Since the book is an exclusive production of Audible Originals, it’s available only on their platform. If you’re a member already, you can easily add it to your library with just one click, as it comes included in your membership. For those who don’t have a membership yet, Audible provides free 30-day trials for new users.

Count us in for another thrilling adventure featuring more of Obi-Wan and Anakin, a perilous quest, and a galaxy untouched by the Clone Wars. Let’s do this!

Star Wars: Padawan’s Pride is available today exclusively on Audible.
