Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Kabe is revealed to speak like this, if you can understand her squeaks. It goes well with her little-con-artist personality.

The Max Rebo-starring “Fancy Man” story by Phil Szostak is downright hilarious, and Saladin Ahmed’s tale about the rancor’s caretaker is surprisingly sad. Tara Sim’s Boba Fett story sees the infamous bounty hunter reflect on all the things that happened to him during the War of the Bounty Hunters comic series. Brotherhood - I do love this idea, I didn't feel the characters as much as I would have liked but I still think it's very good. The 21st story is called The Man Who Captured Luke Skywalker, by Max Gladstone. It's self-explanatory. Luke's first step in redeeming his father, Darth Vader, A.K.A., Anakin Skywalker, is to surrender himself to the Empire. The Imperial Commander who brings Luke to Vader is called Altadan Igar. He lingers around just long enough to hear Luke refer to Vader as "Father."

Unreliable Narrator: Several examples, tying in with Broad Strokes, as the many overlapping stories have various inconsistencies big and small. And of course, the title of the book hangs a huge lampshade on this. The 38th story is called Brotherhood, by Mike Chen. This story has the same title has as Mike's full-length Star Wars novel. Like that novel, this story is about Anakin and Obi-Wan. It details their reunion in the Force after Anakin's redemption and death. Imp Trooper Riz and her partner Gir are walking through the forest of the Endor moon. Riz recalls when her commander was shot in front of her and I thought it was part of the current story.And she second-guesses a lot about the Empire.

Chief Kase recalls how Wedge was a former Imperial TIE pilot and that General Syndulla had to vouch for him when this information was met with suspicion. From a Certain Point of View: Return of the Jedi ( audiobook), released in 2023 for the eponymous film The 32nd story is called The Emperor's Red Guards, by Gloria Chao. In ROTJ, Papatine is flanked by a pair of red-clad Imperial Guards. I've always thought they were so cool-looking. When Luke is brought before Palpatine, he dismisses the Guards from his quarters. They eventually discover Palpatine's death, and witness Darth Vader's death. Luke shows them mercy by letting them escape from the 2nd Death Star as it's being destroyed. Both stories, as well as a few others, are full-circle moments for these characters whom so many have loved over the decades.Originally, E. K. Johnston was listed as an author, [1] but she did not contribute to the book due to family obligations. [59] Sources [ ] FACPOV: Return of the Jedi feels like the most poignant and focused of the trilogy of From a Certain Point of View books. The book’s pacing is steady as it deftly moves the story and readers through more than three dozen different stories, several planets, a Death Star, and the forest moon of Endor. Contemporary Motivators · Droids: 6, 7, 8 · The Special Edition: 1, 2, 3, 4, TPB · Manga: 1, 2, 3, 4 One of the standout stories is definitely "The Veteran," as it provides us with an update on Dexter Jettster.

Full Book Name: From a Certain Point of View: Return of the Jedi (From a Certain Point of View, #3) Austin Walker explores the unlikely partnership of bounty hunters Dengar and IG-88 as they pursue Han Solo. What's also odd is the omission of a couple things I really thought would be touched upon. For one, I thought there could be a Rex story, maybe even poking fun at how he and Nik Sant get confused with one another. But there is no such story. TBH though I'd rather there not be such a story than there be a story confirming that Nik Sant is him. There is also no story about the Bothans who died to obtain information about the Death Star. The word "Bothan" never so much as appears. The story in which Mon Mothma receives the information via a droid mentions a cloth with blood on it and is so vague that the actual details regarding the Bothans is shrouded in mystery. It really seems like Lucasfilm is refusing to define Bothans in this era of Star Wars storytelling in case there's an onscreen appearance, but I don't see any sign of them appearing explicitly onscreen unless Andor season 2 introduces them. It's so frustrating.
