Spent waaaaaaaay too long on Hoth. May do a full review later.[3.5 stars]
This is a collection of forty short stories to celebrate that Empire Strikes Back is forty years old. Each story takes place during the time frame of that movie and incorporates a scene from that movie. Also, each story tells the perspective of a character who is not widely known and might not be a part of the greater scheme.Disney did the same thing for the forty anniversary of A New Hope and I wasn't a big fan of that collection. Unfortunately, I had the same result from this collection. I lik...
I heard this has Canon Siri Tachi and ahhhhh I NEED IT!! Jedi Apprentice was my catnip as a kid (might do a full-series reread if I'm extremely bored or something) and she was always a favorite!
Some fantastic stories here but also some pretty average ones. I tell you one thing the Star Wars Universe owes Gary Whitta and his "Rebellions are built on hope" line from Rogue One because every author writing a story about the rebellion uses it. I did enjoy getting to see more behind the scenes stuff in regards to the empire. Vader killing off his Admirals and how it feels to work in that sort of environment, a Tie Fighter pilot who knows she is flying the cheapest product on the market and w...
To think I almost missed this book, I kept seeing a Certain Point of View and thinking it was the Star Wars (The New Hope) version, days before it came out I realised I realised it was the Empire Strikes Back reciving the FACPOF treatment. Like the first book it is difficult to give an overall rating as there are some stories I enjoyed more then others. I found I really like probobly 35 out of 40 stories so 5 stars it is. Unlike the first book, the stories are not in completely sequential. Some
Yasss!!! *claps energetically*Disturbance by Mike Chen is my absolute fave!!!I just adored the Whills Strike Back!!! They are so cute and their witty banter is everything!!!I CAN'T WAIT FOR 40 YEARS OF RETURN OF THE JEDI!!!
3.5 ⭐Rounded up. While I did enjoy the first book more, that in no way means this was disappointing.My favourite stories were:A Good Kiss by: C.B. LeeThe Truest Duty by: Christine GoldenWait For It by: Zoraida Córdova Standard Imperial Procedure by: Sarwat ChaddaFaith In An Old Friend by: Brittany N. WilliamsThe Witness by: Adam ChristopherThe Whills Strike Back by: Tom Angleberger
This is the second collection of Star Wars stories that take the reader through a whole movie, start to finish, through the eyes of minor characters. I enjoyed the first one and found it a fun way to relive A New Hope. This volume, however, for The Empire Strikes Back, didn’t work nearly so well. Some reasons? The second film in the trilogy is a more tightly focused narrative, so there’s much less room for interesting (or even amusing) side plots happening just outside the frame. Also, ESB is mo...
Wow what a great collection of short stories!! I will have a detialed review of my rating for all 40 stories that are in here so I will come back later in the week and update this reivew. As of now I would give it a 4/5 stars!(:
I'll hide my thoughts on specifics stories under a spoiler tag, in general terms I don't think I enjoyed this anthology quite as a much as the first one, it felt like there was a higher proportion of mediocre stories although, as before, there were a few truly excellent standouts.(view spoiler)["Eyes of the Empire", B: quality writing, the same technician stumbling upon Luke's X-Wing on Dagobah was a little much."Hunger", B-: Sympathy for the Wampa? Sometimes a monster should just be a monster,
Excellent, a perfect follow up to the previous book.
Star Wars has been around for a long time - 44 years, to be precise. This anthology was released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back. Star Wars has had its ups (KOTOR, the Timothy Zahn books, Rogue 1) and its downs (The Phantom Menace, the holiday special, George Lucas getting ideas) over the decades. This book was a refreshing dive back into classic Star Wars, and a welcome reminder of why the universe has been so huge for so long.When I saw the tagline of “40 stories c...
A sequel to the amazing "From a Certain Point of View: A New Hope", this book is forty short stories celebrating the 40th anniversary of the release of The Empire Strikes Back. Unfortunately, lightning doesn't quite strike twice here. Whereas the stories in that first volume make the story seem deeper and richer, most of these seemed silly or superfluous.Eyes of the Empire: Told from the perspective of the operator of the probe droid that found the rebel base on Hoth. I enjoy her arc from Imperi...
I am convinced that there is untapped potential for provocative and exciting literary experiences within the confines of pop genre material like Star Wars. This book doesn't help. A fun concept. Impressive dedication to theme. Not well executed. Two back-to-back stories by Jason Fry and Seth Dickinson stand out as being fun and nicely done. There rest is forgettable. Some day...
