We are almost a week away from the Doctor Aphra audiobook, which adapts and expands her initial appearance in the Darth Vader comic, and the first excerpt has been released! It’s our first chance to hear Aphra brought to life and Emily Woo Zeller delivers on so many levels, that despite my hype, I got instant chills hearing her as Aphra, as it’s even better than I expected! The excerpt includes a little space battle between her and Maz Kanata, who’s mad at her because she naturally stole something from the vaunted space pirate, and the banter between the two had me laughing hard; writer Sarah Kuhn has hit the mark as far as this 7 minutes is concerned and I can only imagine how much fun the rest of this will be! While an original scene, the item Aphra steals from Maz is one she uses in her heist of the Triple-Zero matrix, as seen in her debut way back in 2015, so the connections are strong already! Speaking of those, I have a primer article with what you could expect in the audiobook, while it has a panel for SDCC@Home on July 24. Doctor Aphra: An Audiobook Original hits your ears July 21, but head below to listen to the excerpt now! UPDATE: And here’s my review!
