So is technically a YOUNG READER level short story. A Disney canon short story, it's short, fun, and a quick read. It can alternatively be found in the collection, Tales From The Galaxy Far, Far Away: Aliens: Vol. 1
The Crimson Corsair And The Lost Treasure Of Count Dooku: 5*
First of all... what a sick name for a short story in general, I mean really
This story was a great attempt at giving a SW story a real world pirate feel. A Corsair, captains, first mates, barges and skimmers. A sea (of sand?), storms, and monsters too. Rigged barges and boarding parties using hand-weapons for close combat? These are all things I like to see and read.
Not to mention ties to the Clone Wars and Count Dooku? Need I say more?
Maybe even a few other familiar references too... high-FIVES all around amiright?
This was a pretty enjoyable story, but then suddenly the unexpected happened... they find Kix, or Clone Trooper CT-6116, who was onto Order 66 from back during The Clone Wars series. That was such a nice surprise that I had to mention this separately. :) It almost made me bump this up to four stars, but I feel like that might have been too high for a short story where you don't get all that much time to invest in a lot of what's going on.
But ayyy, pirates!
