I applaud the author for attempting to explain some of the more ludicrous and nonsensical elements

Shadow of the Sith by Adam Christopher goes deeper into the explanations of the crazy that’s inherent to TROS. It’s a great book! Lando is the readers’ interpreter - after action scenes end, he just starts jabbering and restating what just happened, in case the reader does not grasp the stakes.

Nakirre, yeah.The cult-y secondary villain of the third book.

Thompson’s done a bit of work in anime, so he knows how to do some pretty wild voices. Though I’ve listened a couple of audiobooks that sort of do a compromise between a single narrator and a full cast, with a narrator doing the voice of the protagonist and the primary prose narration, another to do secondary characters and a third to do all the feminine voices. I’d love to see Star Wars adopt that approach, though I’m sure it’s probably cost-prohibitive.

They have at least once for canon novels that weren’t the audio dramas such as Tempest runner, Dooku Lost, Aphra, Battle of Jedha.

The princess and the scoundrel is dual narrated by January and Marc. IMO because of this it’s one of my favorite audiobooks

so say every other chapter was from Han’s perspective. Those would be Marc. Leia was January. I would love more books like that.
