I like Star Wars (as you may well know). I also like audiobooks, especially for listening to in the car. My Favourite books of all time are the X-wing series of Star Wars Books by Michael A. Stackpole and Aaron Allston.
I have recently managed to get my hands on the Entire series (9 Books) in audio format. I was overjoyed by this, but now, I feel glum 
The audio versions are HEAVILY abridged, and the best they have cut out seem to be either the funniest bits in the books (hence the reason I like them so much) or what I consider from reading the books to be key plot points! I have read the books o many times that they are worn out. In fact, it’s a tradition now that I take all 9 on holiday with me every year, and read them in order, at least once. So I know the books inside out, and it really winds me up when I am listening to the audio version when they miss something out, or even worse, change the plot or dialogue completely!
It’s a real shame, as I was really looking forward to these books. I hope that at some point in the future they (Bantam/Del Rey Audio) release an unabridged version, but seeing as I can’t find anything on their website(s) about audiobooks, I doubt it
