a great Star Wars short story collection. Some of the stories like those from the perspectives of Maul, Palpatine, or Anakin were fantastic. Fantastic short tales with amazing narration for the audiobook. There were only two chapters the I didn't enjoy. They were from the perspectives of Luke and Rey. The Luke chapter felt like fan fiction with ridiculous dialog while the Rey chapter tried to be funny and wasn't. Overall though I would highly recommend it to any Star Wars fan, especially if you are a fan of the Clone Wars show as a lot of the stories tie into it.

Not sure what to give short story collections in terms of star ratings. My favorites in this collection were the Anakin/Obi Wan story and the Assajj Ventress story

A couple of the stories are genuinely good, but most are pretty skipable. I liked that it spanned many eras and was organized in chronological order.

This was a mediocre short story collection set in various periods of the Star Wars universe. Even the short stories that I found enjoyable were lacking something extra. Even though this was a middle grade book I think something more could've been added that would enhance the universe as a whole, but I found the stories to be lacking.
