    That would make sense. Judging by the title this is about Dantooine.

    Luke: Ben, will you please turn off those Imperial rap albums?

    Ben Solo: Oh come on Uncle Wormie, you are so uncool!

    As for Dantooine, I do hope there is some feasible method shown on how one scours an entire planet for a military base.

    Presumably, although the preview illustration shows a bunch of confused stormtroopers wandering around in the wilderness... :p

    Honestly, the hands down most exciting thing about this book is how many new authors are getting in on the Star Wars Universe. Mur Lafferty, Ken Liu, Griffin McElroy, Mallory Ortberg, Elizabeth Wein, Glen Weldon, Wil Wheaton, etc. The possibilities are endless.

    This is great. Motti is probably one of the only people brazen enough to report Vader to HR.

    You already know that Meg Cabot is writing a Beru story (from online copy), but that's the only outstanding card.

    A story about Qui-Gon during ANH by Claudia Gray. This is the best thing to happen in the history of things that have happened.

    I believe on the internet the response to a surprise Qui Gon story is supposed to be "A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one."

    This is the most emotionally invested I have ever been in a SW short story. I can't even.

    Haha, and to think. With my insertion of characters (which I will never publish because it's my own stuff), I'll have a short story done from the perspective of my OT character's father who was a TPM character and got more prominence in canon to Legends (even my characters get the switch lol) by being in Rebels and Rogue One (and Aftermath trilogy lol).

    Who decided Jon Hamm would be a good fit for Boba Fett? Is Temuera Morrison suddenly unreachable or something? Or Daniel Logan. Logan loves the role so much he'd probably turn up for the part if you bought him lunch. Why Hamm? Is he going to try to fake a Kiwi accent too?
