Does that now mean as events of episode 4 are unraving I now have to imagine this going on? Yes.yes I do.Star Wars: Lost Stars also includes all-new post- Star Wars: Return of the Jedi content, as well as hints and clues about the upcoming film Star Wars: The Force Awakens, making this a must-read for all Star Wars fans. I refuse to give it more because of the bland writing, and a risky tampering with cannon. And 2) it's targeted demographic gives it some leeway. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was 1) it was short enough to be over quickly. Most frustrating, the book attempts to retcon the classic movies-or does it? Recount of events in episode 4 are specific enough to mean the narrative isn't completely fictional, but then it is left to the reader to decide if they want to completely trash their view of cannon-or not. Entire "chapters" sometimes no more than a paragraph, with nothing to define it as a "chapter". Without giving spoilers, the book relies solely on throwbacks to a new hope, as it tries to relive the tail through new eyes. Understandably simple in its language given its demographic, but unforgivably unimaginative. This "book" seems like something a 11th grader wrote. I have read all the new Star Wars books, including the "young reader" books, and found most rather entertaining.
