From a Certain Point of View (Star Wars)

Product Information

I’m so glad not everything is dialogue from the movie. I really like Obi-Wan’s POV and love how he sees Anakin’s fighting style in Leia’s diplomacy, and Anakin’s physicality in Luke. All of the stories featuring Rebel pilots like Wedge Antilles, Norra Wexley, and Green Leader were incredible, as was the absolutely chilling perspective of Emperor Palpatine in the moments before his death. Nnedi Okorofor brings dignity and depth to a most unlikely character: the monster in the trash compactor. Celebrate the lasting impact of Return of the Jedi with this exciting reimagining of the timeless Star Wars film featuring new perspectives from forty contributors. 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.

Little Golden Book · The Power of the Dark Side · The Film Novel (French) · So You Want to Be a Jedi? ISBN 9781524797607; October 5, 2017; Del Rey; US hardcover, New York Comic Con 2017 Limited Convention Edition [3] [9] The 3rd story is called The Key to Remembering, by Olivia Chadda. After C-3PO and R2-D2 are gifted to Jabba the Hutt by a hologram of Luke Skywalker, they are taken to the dungeon of Jabba's Palace. There, they run into a droid named EV-9D9, who revels in torturing her fellow droids. This story is book-ended by scenes that actually take place after the events of ROTJ, where EV-9D9 is working at the Cantina from A New Hope. And she recalls how she came to have a change of heart. StarWars.com: How does the role of editor on an anthology like From a Certain Point of View differ from working on a traditional novel?

Tropes in this collection include:

This is another great entry in the From A Certain Point of View series. The stories mostly ranged from very good to fantastic, with only one or two clunkers.

There is Another", by Gary D. Schmidt: Taking place from the perspective of Yoda as he meets Obi-Wan's Force Ghost during his exile on Dagobah.

Jerjerrod is relatable! He is a physical person, needing physical schematics and being hands-on with the work. I like how he takes Vader’s words and makes them work for what the Emperor wants. The Angle", by Charles Soule ( Lando, Obi-Wan & Anakin, Poe Dameron, Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith): Taking place from the perspective of Lando during another one of his gambling sessions. Reincarnation: Omi, the dianoga, certainly believes this will happen to her after the Death Star explodes with her on it, and her connection to the Force seems to reinforce it. My Greatest Failure: Qui-Gon sees asking Obi-Wan to mentor Anakin as this, as training Anakin would have been a challenge even for best of Jedi and Obi-Wan was barely more than a Padawan himself. He apologizes to Obi-Wan for more or less forcing him into it by making it his dying wish.
