Some of the most popular Star Wars stories from the Legends line of continuity came in anthologies such as Tales of the Bounty Hunters, Tales from Jabba’s Palace, and Tales from Mos Eisley Cantina.

Lucasfilm and Del Rey hope to continue that legacy with A Certain Point of View, celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Star Wars universe.
The star-studded list of authors includes Greg Rucka, Delilah S. Dawson, Kieron Gillen, Gary Whitta, Paul Dini, Ashley Eckstein, Matt Fraction, and Pablo Hidalgo.
The stories are meant to highlight quieter moments in the long-running history of the saga, featuring the Stormtrooper who captured Leia, Mon Mothma planning for the future, and Lando Calrissian’s gambling habits.
Now Del Rey and the authors are offering hints of their stories and key quotes revealing what they’re about with posts to Twitter using the hashtag #FromACertainPOV.
Check them out below before the book comes out on October 3.
Achley Eckstein, E.K. Johnston, Kieron Gillen, Gary Whitta, and Jason Fry
