I really enjoyed this book. It is really cool when a book expect to be a certain way is that way and delivers.I grew up trading fables from brave knights, warrior princesses and greek mythology. Taking these stories and putting them into a Star Wars setting is genius and recipe for sucess. Add in great artwork at the beginning of every story the chocolate icing on top.Usually rating short stories book is difficult as there would be some I enjoyed and some I did not, however i enjoyed every story...

It's an anthology of fairy tales and myths in the Star Wars universe. The stories are okay, too simplistic, but good enough for children. The illustrations that accompany each story are amazing, though.

I decided to buy a physical copy of this book because I loved the Grant Griffin artwork it includes. He really gives the characters of this galaxy a fantasy, fairy tale story aesthetic that fits the title. However, the title Myths & Fables feels like a bit of a misnomer. People generally define fables as stories that involve animals, and there's really none of that unless you count the dragon in the first story, "The Knight & the Dragon." Oddly, the Krayt dragon in that story has wings, and I ne...

I enjoyed the stories, but this book wasn't what I wanted given the title. This just felt like a collection of short stories moreso than myths and fables. With the title "myths and fables" I expected stories like the morality tales of Aesop or Brothers Grimm. I expected myths of different species and civilizations in the Star Wars universe that those beings told to explain the unexplainable, much like the Greek and Roman myths. I want this book to expose me to the different ideas of the worlds o...

This was fun! A collection of short stories, most with a lesson to be taught. Would be a great bedtime story collection for kids with a love for Star Wars. I especially loved the hidden gems of recognizable characters that were not named but mature readers could spot. 😉

And Now for Something Completely Different This short, beautifully illustrated collection of short fables was a delightful interlude to the heavier lifting of the recent canon novels.If I absolutely had to quibble I'd say that some of the Easter Eggs and canon nods are a little too on the nose or specific to work in a Fable, unreliable narrator kind of format and the numerous references to Batuu seemed a little too timely given the recent opening of the theme park attraction. I would have pre

As the title says, this is a collection of stories told as if they were myths and fables in the Star Wars universe.Overall is an interesting read, as you can see how normal people knows about the stories we've seen in the saga. Sole are better than others, as is typical in this type of books.The Knight and the Dragon: what can I say, there's a dragon (although not a real one, as seen in the mandalorian) and a knight who everyone knows and love (yes, old Ben, I'm looking at you)The Droid With a H...

Enjoyable short stories that provide some extra colour to characters and planets we’ve come across in other stories. I particularly liked the first story as it’s the first time I’ve read anything even slightly sympathetic about the Sand People. Not only is it sympathetic, but it’s got a dragon in it (yes, a dragon!) and a certain Jedi hiding on Tatooine.

A really fun addition to the Star Wars lineup, probably my second favorite Star Wars release this year! I very much enjoyed every story and found my interest waning only a couple of times. I will keep this one in my collection for years to come, for they also make good stories to read to children! Despite some of them perhaps being a little too scary to do. The illustrations are beautiful and the tales are well crafted. I hope Star Wars does more books like this in the future. It's a great way t...

After finishing Thrawn, I had one day left in the work week- and even if I overall thought Timothy Zahn's first novel in the Star Wars Canon was good, it was quite dense and I wanted something light. George Mann's "Myths and Fables" was just what I was looking for. After seeing the audiobook length of a mere 3 hours, I picked it up from the Libby app and gave it a listen while spraying blackberry on one of my work sites. This book overall was not as good as I was hoping, but there were some defi...

For stories bind our universe together. Under the Disney imprint Lucasfilm publish mostly their YA and middle-grade titles (wich to me have been 50/50 on the quality). I think this would be more MG? But honestly I don't really care about their rating or target audience, it was just a lot fun and a really quick read.Myths & Fables has 9 stories, all located in different planets and with a variety of protagonist, but at his very core every tale it's about greed, anger, betrayal and power and th

The history of courageous Jedi Masters and dastardly Sith Lords have always been cloaked in the myths and legends of the past. Children throughout the galaxy are told stories by parents and elders of amazing heroes that they could become, and evil villains that may steal them away, in the hopes that they, too, will find their way forward. Nine of those stories are chronicled here by Galactic Historian George Mann as he retells those tales of the past:THE KNIGHT AND THE DRAGON - the hopes of a vi...

Yes, Myth & Fables is technically a “young adult” or “young reader” novel, but is that really an excuse for such a bunch of lame, inane, boring stories?Again, it’s for kids, and hey, that’s cool. Please, get the kiddos into Star Wars and get them interested in anything other than stupid ass Fortnite and PewDiPie, but can we at least capture their attention with good stories? The stories in Myths & Fables do basically nothing to instill a love for the fictional world of Star Wars. Two of them are...

It was ok. I enjoyed a tale or two, but most were forgettable. I don't even remember the last myth that was told. I'm not quite sure what to think of the Star Wars novels now. I really only cared about connecting pieces of the trilogy with clues here and there, but now that it is over I'm not really sure what to think. The Mandalorian does a great job at rekindling the SW flame for me, with new characters and plots. But there are many characters still out there I want to hear more about. Ahsoka....

A short and strange Star Wars collection of (you guessed it) myths and fables. These are stories set in the Star Wars universe, frequently involving characters and situations we're familiar with, but that don't necessarily hold themselves out as being "true" within said universe.The best of the bunch is the story of Obi-Wan fighting a dragon to save some Sand People (shown in the picture on the cover). I didn't get all of references in many of the other stories but then I've never been a big pre...

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, storytellers were passing on myths and fables. Some had morals, some were adventure stories, all had a little bit of heart. This collection was absolutely fabulous. These stories made you laugh, made you cry, made you think and made you wonder. Many, though specific famous characters were never named featured well known figures such as Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and General Grevious. What I loved most about this book was that, when you knew who the main character...

So I actually did not read this release by George Mann until after I just read this years release, SW Dark Legends. Each story has a unique and beautiful watercolor painting at the beginning (much the same as, Tales From the Galaxy Far Far Away: Vol. 1: Aliens) and this hardcover does a great job with these giant, wonderful title cards and gold plates for the first letter or every story that don’t look cheesy or see-through. Another win for Disney Lucasfilm Press honestly. The Knight & The Drago...

The writing is so beautiful and the illustrations even moreso. I thought I’d be put off by the original characters but I enjoyed some of the original stories even more than those with established characters. The myth format itself might be the best aspect of the book, because it’s just handled so so well. Really a great read and an unique look into the universe.
