Some of the writers are pretty raw, but the seasoned professionals like Barbara Hambly, Esther M. Friesner, and George Alec Effinger are definitely not slacking when they write in someone else's universe. More of the writers resist the temptation to have every character cross paths at some point in their past with the main characters of the films, their writers content to simply show the effects of having these heavy hitters pass through their lives in the palace. (  ) slothman | Sep 1, 2008 | The second Tales from anthology is a bit more of a miss than the previous hit-and-miss Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina. It does boast one of the cooler pieces of Star Wars short fiction - the strangely noirish 'Old Friends' - but some of the stories do devolve into pure silliness (for instance, Weequays worshiping a magic eight ball) and it just takes a few too many liberties with the source material for my taste. (  ) badgenome | Oct 16, 2007 | Collection of short stories about, well, Jabba's palace. There were some *weird* stories in there, yo -- I had only read the one about Mara before. I liked the one about the Rancor keeper, and the one about the six-breasted dancer, and the one about Oola; I didn't much care for the one about the invisible assassin. But my two favorite things were: 1, Boba Fett being digested by the Sarlacc, 'cause heh! digesting Boba Fett! and 2, the monks who were just brains in jars that use spidery metal walkers to get around, 'cause heh! That gives me so many inappropriate TMNT/SW crossover thoughts. :) (  ) lysimache | Jul 6, 2007 | Awesomeness (  ) kaledrina | Nov 14, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review
