As a child, many fan audio listeners and creators had fun reading book series like Choose Your Own Adventure or Find Your Fate, novels where your decisions determined the path of the story. Make a choice, follow instructions, turn to a certain page, and the story was carried out by your design. LucasBooks dipped into this well during recent years, releasing pick-your-path versions of the three Classic Trilogy films as young reader novels. With Always in Motion: Ambush on An'kerra, Rayzur's Edge Audio (Second Strike, Nothing Changes, Anthology, ChronoRadio) brings this unusual method of storytelling into the fan audio drama realm.

 

Always in Motion puts you in the position of choosing the actions of a young Padawan Learner during the Clone Wars. When the Padawan and his Jedi Master, along with a group of clonetroopers, are attacked on the jungle world of An'kerra, your choices will determine whether the central character, the young Padawan, will survive the encounter, fall to the Dark Side, or, perhaps, even meet his ultimate fate.

 

The Always in Motion release comes in 39 separate parts, each of which is one track of the production. Listeners should either have all of the parts on-hand on their computer or MP3 player, or put all of the tracks, in the same order as their filenames instruct (aim1-track-01.mp3 as the first track, for instance), onto a CD. Then, just start listening with the first track and follow the instructions given at the end of each track, moving forward or backward along the production's tracks, as the listener's own choices guide the path of the story.

 

It is a unique experiment in Star Wars fan audio dramas. Your fate is in your hands.
