I haven't heard either, but I was just about to say that I can't imagine anyone even bothering with any other version if there is one available read by Stephen Fry. The man is godlike in voice and skill.

Then I went to YouTube and looked up this Jim Dale fellow and watched him read a passage from Winnie the Pooh.

Jesus. I've got tears. His voice is like a fuzzy blanket on a chilly night at grandma's in the rarely-used upstairs bedroom with wood floors.

Well, Star Wars the Radio Show came out in the 70's, and has the advantage of not just taking stuff from the original cuts of the movie and the book but not having to worry about any of the sequels. It came at a time when radio dramas made a brief comeback (This, Lord of the Rings, and Hitchhikers Guide made NPR briefly a cool thing to listen to for geeks). Empire and Jedi were made post Special Edition, iirc, and not for radio broadcast. I put them in the same category as the newer Hitchhiker shows adapting the later books, meaning I ignore them

I've never heard the EMPIRE one.  A buddy of mine had STAR WARS, and then I got JEDI when it came out.  On cassette, I believe.
