The Legends of Luke Skywalker by Ken Liu - OPTIONAL

Liu, Ken The Legends of Luke Skywalker, 425 pages.  Disney, 2018.  $15.  Content: G (some danger).

A group of young galactic beings are headed to a ritzy planet to find new lives.  On the last night of their voyage, they exchange stories that they have heard about Luke Skywalker, the mysterious, force-wielding figure that is such a large presence in the galaxy.  They also learn something important about themselves.

Liu brings a variety of stories about Luke to this novel.  Some odd, some interesting, some humorous – they all show Luke at some point of his journey to learn about the Force (except for the farcical one that starts the tales off).  All of the tales are from new places around the galaxy with new characters and from different times of his life.  Hardcore Star Wars fans will enjoy this most for filling in the holes between movies.
