{{Top|real|}}
There have been several exclusive Star Wars audio drama adaptations produced in the German language. While Star Wars literature is translated into many languages worldwide, and standard audiobooks in which a narrator reads the complete or abridged text of a novel exist in many of those languages, the German licensees have created several full-cast dramatizations along the lines of the English-language [[Star Wars audio dramas|radio drama]] adaptations of the original trilogy. These unique adaptations, known as ''Hörspiele ''in German, form an extensive body of audio media with no direct English-language equivalent.

In total, eleven theatrical films, five novels, one animated television movie, and 76 animated television episodes have been adapted into German-language audio dramas, across 71 total compact discs.
