    I saw this a Galaxy website. Has anyone ever heard of this and can shed some light? :D

    EDIT: Just had an insight: this isn't one of the Tales book's stories, is it? And if so, why would it be sold separately, for such a price? Most interesting . . .

    I remember this coming up a few years ago. I'm sure someone will jump in here and clarify, but it IS the short story from TftMEC, I think.

    That's the audio drama-adaption of Hambly's story from 'Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina'.

    Yeah, it's from Tales from the Mos Eisely Cantina. We Don't Do Weddings: The Band's Tale is also available in the audio edition.

    "Hammertong also had a seperate audio drama adaptation."

    I've been told it's not a full-cast audio drama but rather just like the rest of the novels, with a reader telling the story.

    "How can they sell these short stories separately for so much??? Who would want an audio version that bad?"

    Well for the Band's Tale, and the Nightlily, they are full cast audio dramas, people like audio dramas, because it's like having a new 1 hour star wars movie.

    Hammertong which wasn't full cast, but rather just a reader telling the story(like the novel adaptations), was sold only with a special package of the TTT trilogy audio editions.

    Actually, Hammertong was also available through other promotions- I recieved it for free with either Nightlily or Darksaber's audio book on tape a long time ago.

    I honestly don't remember- it's been so long since I got it, I'll have to dig the tape out and give it a listen.
