In a bit of a return to form to the “Tales” books of Legends EU (Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina, Jabba’s Castle, etc), Landry Q. Walker wrote this anthology to flesh out the backstories of some of the ancillary creatures seen on screen in The Force Awakens. While not a particularly consequential book, it’s an absolute blast and will enhance your appreciation for the new characters established in Episode VII. He was able to switch between several different genres with the various short stories—a classic pirate adventure story about Sidon Ithano (the red alien Finn almost splits with), a horror story about what’s happening in the basement of Man Kanata’s castle, even a Clint Eastwood-esque Western starring infamous peg warmer Constable Zuvio in place of Clint Eastwood. While labeled as “Volume I,” a Volume II is yet to follow (though perhaps Canto Bight is a spiritual successor for The Last Jedi).
