Review Update
So, I'm looking at my Goodreads list for the year and it shows this is the longest book I've read this year. Except I didn't finish it. Then I came across it on Libby and decided to give it another go. Fortunately, I remember where I left off.

I let this go just at the point where the book transitions from Tatooine to the Death Star. I have to admit that I liked the stories after Tatooine better. There are only so many perspectives of watching Han hook up with Luke and shoot Greedo I care to read. In the end there are some really good stories and some that didn't grab me. And now I can know I honestly read that whole book!

Original review:

There were stories I really liked in this book. However, it quickly felt like another Tales From... book. Some of the characters I didn't care about and reading the full story was work. Many of the stories didn't resonate with me. I found myself falling asleep reading regularly. I was committed to finishing, but after failing to get traction on the fourth borrow from the library, I think I need to put it aside. Maybe it's time for me to move on from Star Wars books. They were good friends and I enjoyed them 20 years ago, and part of me wants to relive those years, but I am finding that this universe no longer holds the place it once did.
