Hondo is one of my favorite Star Wars characters and doesn’t get enough love. He’s so hilarious.

When Hondo is involved, you know a good time is guaranteed! Extra fun, as the audiobook is read by the voice of Hondo himself - Jim Cummings!

This is the perfect Hondo story, and having nearly the entire text read by Jim Cummings in Hondo's voice is perfect.

Legitimately delightful! Anders perfectly captured Hondo's bluster, giving us a beautiful story of the beloved pirate. Also, porgs.

Aside from some pesky meta-stuff (elephant-styled aliens called Pakiphantos, etc.), this was a super-fun read. Anders nails both Hondo’s and Han’s dialogue quirks.

The Galaxy's Edge hype is real.
I came for Batuu, Black Spire Outpost, and Oga's Cantina. While the details about them were few, existing only in a framing device for the overall narrative, they were rich and exciting.
Otherwise, this book is not meant to be read as a Batuu guidebook. It works better as a setup for what Hondo's role will be in Galaxy's Edge, which is fine. The stories were all right. I liked the ending and the "Rise of the Porgs" part was adorable.
Whenever I was somewhat bored during my read, I would look up footage of his INCREDIBLE audio-animatronic and get inspired again.
