About this title

From School Library Journal:

Adult/High School-These 21 stories are for dedicated fans and casual readers alike, although knowledgeable teens will get the most out of the jokes and asides. The tales vary as widely as the styles in which they are illustrated, and the lavish use of color will definitely attract attention. Readers well versed in the minutiae of the Star Wars universe will be thrilled to discover something about Boba Fett's personal life or a lesson once taught to young Anakin and remembered much later by Darth Vader. Those conversant in pop culture will be amused by the encounter between Jedi Micah Giiet and a fearsome kitchen droid called MREM-02 (pronounced Moree-Mohtwo). Both the Max Rebo Band and smuggler Vilmarh Grahrk have returned from Volume 1 in new adventures. There are several appearances of favorite characters like R2-D2 and C-3PO and there is even a bedtime story for young Anakin Solo featuring the adventures of his Uncle Luke's hand. Although some of the stories are stronger than others, this is still an entertaining collection. Purchase as interest demands.
