Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View (w/ Gary Mitchel)

Have you ever wondered how the Dianoga ended up in the trash compactor? Or why TK-421 was so bad has his job? Or perhaps you wanted many many stories about the cantina in Mos Eisley. If so From a Certain Point of View has you covered. 40 stories by 40 authors for the 40th anniversary of A New Hope. With that much going on they can't all be great, but when this book shines it really shines. There are actually quite a few gems here, and we brought on special guest Gary Mitchell to help us talk about our favorites. 

The Skywalker saga may be over, but there are enough books to keep Star Wars fans satisfied for years to come. Chad, Ryan, and Beth have started a series to keep you up to date on all the action. Join our book club as we run down the best that canon, legends, and comics have to offer.
