From a Certain Point of View retells the story of the original Star Wars trilogy through the eyes of minor and background characters - stormtroopers, cantina patrons, droids, and other bystanders - rather than its central heroes. Published for the saga's 40th anniversary and continued across three anthologies covering each original film, the collections gather short stories from a rotating slate of authors.
