Perfect for you if...

  • You love Star Wars but want fresh angles on the original film that go beyond the main heroes.
  • You enjoy short story collections where different authors bring wildly different voices and perspectives to the same universe.
  • You're curious about minor characters and want to understand what their moment in the story meant to them.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer long, continuous narratives over episodic short stories that shift tone and style with each chapter.
  • You're after brand new Star Wars content set in unexplored eras, not retellings of scenes you already know.
  • You want your Star Wars stories to advance the larger saga, not pause to examine side characters and background moments.

About this book

A collection of forty short stories that reimagine moments from the original Star Wars film through the perspectives of supporting characters. Created in honor of the film's fortieth anniversary, the book features contributions from more than forty authors, including Gary Whitta, Meg Cabot, Nnedi Okorofor, Pablo Hidalgo, Pierce Brown, and Wil Wheaton, among many others. Each story offers a different viewpoint on events from the film. Examples include Captain Antilles's experience bridging Rogue One and A New Hope, Aunt Beru's intimate character study, a reimagining of the trash compactor creature, Grand Moff Tarkin's perspective, and Biggs Darklighter's role in the Death Star attack. All author proceeds from the book are donated to First Book, a nonprofit providing books and learning materials to educators and organizations serving children in need. Penguin Random House contributed $100,000 to First Book, and Disney/Lucasfilm donated 100,000 children's books valued at $1,000,000 to support the organization's mission.
