This book tells the tales of all the people in the cantina during the time Ben & Luke were. Here are a few examples: Greedo's tale, Swap Meet ; the Jawa's tale, When the desert wind turns; the stormtrooper's tale.  wendee | Mar 6, 2009 |  An anthology of tales following the various characters in the Mos Eisley cantina in Star Wars: A New Hope. Some of them may have only gotten a few seconds of screen time, but the various authors flesh them out with back stories that lead to them being in that particular place at that particular time. Some weave the cantina into the story, while others touch on it only tangentially; a few of the stories even interact, with events in one having effects in another. The writing quality is a mixed bag, ranging from so-so to quite good; my favorite is Daniel Keys Moran's Empire Blues, but I must admit I was already a fan of DKM's writing when I picked up the book. Overall, the book is a fun visit to the Star Wars universe. (  ) slothman | Aug 6, 2008 | A fun read. A great job of providing background for the movie that don't necessarily "fit" the rest of the storyline, but provide fun insight. (  ) alcrosby | Jun 9, 2008 | not enough stars, super. same event, different perspective. explains alot, brings different species/characters to life and explains about behaviour etc. great read (steph recommended) (  ) vegaheim | Mar 25, 2008 | This is that rare anthology where the whole is actually less than the sum of its parts. Each author felt compelled to make their character extraordinary, with most of them turning out to be latent rebels in waiting. Why couldn't someone have just written an interesting story about a depressed drunk facing a dead-end job, political oppression, lack of opportunity, and other nasty attributes of the imperial dystopia? Daniel Keys Moran's contribution, about a Devaronian with an ugly secret in his past who was trying to remain anonymous, was my favorite. (  ) clong | Dec 28, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
