Star Wars

We haven't had many new canon books focused on Luke yet (except for Heir to the Jedi, which we don't talk about). I think his stories will be free roam as soon as The Last Jedi releases, but until then, we get very, VERY, small tidbits.

This one doesn't really add anything to the overall canon, or to the character of Luke himself. What has this book confirmed once again? Luke is a pretty good dude.

The stories (or “legends”) told here though, have to be taken with a grain of salt. This is established as the first story sort of retells the start of A New Hope, and refers to Luke as “Luke Clodplodder”. Other stories are about the characters in this one talking about their experience meeting Luke, and they all range from “really?” to “cool”, but nothing that really stands out. I for one refuse to take the “Jabba's Palace” story seriously, while I did like “I, Droid” a lot.

A fun and surprisingly short read, but not a required one.
