‘From a Certain Point of View: Return of the Jedi’ Announces Every Story & Author
This trilogy of books retells the Star Wars story you know and love. And it does it ‘From a Certain Point of View’
The 2017 Star Wars book From A Certain Point of View was made up of an interesting idea and a whole bunch of our favorite writers. Each chapter is a stand-alone short story taking place during A New Hope, but from a different point of view.
In other words, what if instead of hearing about the Galactic Civil War from Luke, Leia, and Han, what if we heard what Aunt Beru‘s day looked like, or from the rebels left behind on Yavin? And what if those thirty original stories were written by people like Wil Wheaton, Pablo Hidalgo, and Griffin McElroy? The project was made up of well-known Star Wars writers as well as relative newcomers, and gave us a glimpse of the galaxy beyond who we usually see. It was pretty neat.
A few years later in 2020, From A Certain Point of View: Empire Strikes Back was published. Same idea, different characters, and some new writers. And now we can finally complete our original trilogy collections (from a certain point of view) when their look at Return of the Jedi its shelves later this month. All of the story titles, authors, and featured characters were recently announced. And we can’t wait to get in their heads.
