![]() ![]() Other than that though, I really dug this story.ĭengar is given interesting character traits that connect excellently with his story of rediscovering humanity and human emotions through his romance with Manaroo, as well as his desire to take the mission of hunting Han Solo from Darth Vader. ![]() Wolverton's background from writing The Courtship of Princess Leia definitely shows with the sappy romantic ending here, but I couldn't help but find it really sweet.

The first story, focusing on the cone headed droid IG-88, is easily my least favorite story in the book. THEREFORE I AM: THE TALE OF IG-88- *1 star Hence, I gave the book 2 stars because I enjoyed 2 of the stories. I rated this book differently from most other books/comics I review: there's 5 stories, so for each story that I enjoyed, I awarded one star to the book as a whole.

I put Catalyst - A Rogue One Novel on higher priority because Rogue One was coming out and I wanted to read that book before I saw the film.
