À propos de cet audio
On May 25, 1977, the world was introduced to Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, C-3PO, R2-D2, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, and a galaxy full of possibilities. In honor of the fortieth anniversary, more than forty contributors lend their vision to this retelling of Star Wars. Each of the forty short stories reimagines a moment from the original film, but through the eyes of a supporting character. From a Certain Point of View features contributions by bestselling authors, trendsetting artists, and treasured voices from the literary history of Star Wars:
• Gary Whitta bridges the gap from Rogue One to A New Hope through the eyes of Captain Antilles.
• Aunt Beru finds her voice in an intimate character study by Meg Cabot.
• Nnedi Okorofor brings dignity and depth to a most unlikely character: the monster in the trash compactor.
• Pablo Hidalgo provides a chilling glimpse inside the mind of Grand Moff Tarkin.
• Pierce Brown chronicles Biggs Darklighter’s final flight during the Rebellion’s harrowing attack on the Death Star.
• Wil Wheaton spins a poignant tale of the rebels left behind on Yavin.
Plus thirty-four more hilarious, heartbreaking, and astonishing tales from:
Ben Acker • Renée Ahdieh • Tom Angleberger • Ben Blacker • Jeffrey Brown • Rae Carson • Adam Christopher • Zoraida Córdova • Delilah S. Dawson • Kelly Sue DeConnick • Paul Dini • Ian Doescher • Ashley Eckstein • Matt Fraction • Alexander Freed • Jason Fry • Kieron Gillen • Christie Golden • Claudia Gray • E. K. Johnston • Paul S.

There are however many stories that border on the unbearably boring. The book spends possibly 6 or 7 stories focused on patrons at the Mos Eisley cantina and only one of them were halfway decent, the rest were a total chore.
Also a minor complaint but, the short stories are broken up into multiple chapters per story so going back and re-listening to certain stories is going to be difficult to pinpoint.

It completely refreshed A New Hope for me. The extremely well per Fe r formed narrations of the point-of-view chapters range from Yoda's, and Obi-Wan's inner thoughts to those of the Jawas, Sandpeople and even the tentacled trash monster... and everything and everyone in between
This really is a great format for audiobook and I really hope they can continue this type of companion story-telling by doing it with the other movies
a brilliant way to refresh star wars
