NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - This unique Star Wars experience offers fresh insights into the original film. On May 25, 1977, audiences met iconic characters like Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Darth Vader, and to celebrate the fortieth anniversary, over forty contributors present a retelling through the eyes of supporting characters. Each of the forty short stories reimagines a moment from the film, showcasing a diverse array of voices. Notable contributions include Gary Whitta's exploration of Captain Antilles, Meg Cabot's intimate portrayal of Aunt Beru, and Nnedi Okorofor's deep dive into the trash compactor monster. Other authors, such as Pierce Brown and Wil Wheaton, share poignant tales of rebellion and sacrifice. The anthology features works from acclaimed writers like Ben Acker, Claudia Gray, and Chuck Wendig, all of whom have chosen to forgo compensation, with proceeds benefiting First Book, a nonprofit that provides essential educational resources to children in need. In support of this mission, Penguin Random House has donated $100,000, while Disney/Lucasfilm has contributed 100,000 children's books valued at $1,000,000. Together, they have donated over eighty-eight million books to First Book over the past sixteen years.
