From a Certain Point of View

As someone who didn't expect too much from this book, I was really pleasantly surprised. A lot of the stories here were really great, and managed to make me care for certain background characters in a really short amount of time.

Talking about characters - ever wanted to know the stories of the Mos Eisley Cantina Band? Captain Antilles? Biggs? The stormtroopers who were told “These aren't the droids you're looking for”? Hell, even Qui-Gon Jinn and Yoda? You get all of that and more!
Some of the stories do end up being a bit eh, but everything else more than makes up for it.
