We know what Lando Calrissian did to take down the Death Star. We know that Han Solo was rescued from Jabba the Hutt. We know what the main characters did because we've all seen it more times than is healthy! But what about the background characters? What went through Bib Fortuna's mind when he barely escaped the destruction of Jabba the Hutt's sail barge? How did the Red Guards react when they realised that the Emperor was dead? And how do the great histories of the Ewoks get handed down through the generations? All these snippets and more are told in this well presented book bringing in dozens of authors to bring these stories to life. Well read by a great cast including Jonathan Davis, Sam Witwer, January Levoy and Marc Thompson this is a must for any real Star Wars nerd!

A great end to the series
