4.0

I liked this book, it gave some more in depth look into what Luke was doing during/after the war. But it's hard to tell how exaggerated it was. Wondering if any of these will actually be of use in The Last Jedi. I was hoping though for more OLDER Luke. This seems like a lot of the stories (besides the ones that are just a retelling of movies) are right after Return of the Jedi.

This was a fun, little read. It was lighthearted and silly; not to be taken to seriously. I enjoyed some of the stories, and others were a bit odd. Overall, it was a quick and fun read.

Très peu d’enjeux, ni vraiment de secrets dévoilés dans ce recueil d’anecdotes et histoires à propos de Luke Skywalker. C’est tout de même assez fun et divertissant, rythmé par les changements de narration et la diversité parfois comique des narrateurs. C’est court, et ça se lit vraiment tout seul, je recommande si vous êtes particulièrement attachés au meilleur Maître Jedi de la saga (oui c’est une hot take que j’assume).

Only two stories stood out for me in this anthology and were bloody excellent. The rest were either dull as heck or solely re-tellings of events from the original trilogy.
