Lit Books FROM A CERTAIN POINT OF VIEW: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

I think we all knew this was coming this year sometime. Looking forward to the inevitable story from the Wampa's point of view where it turns out he just wanted to give Luke a hug:

I hope 4-LOM and Zuckuss get a good story again.

 

Heck yeah! The first one was really excellent, and I'm looking forward to this one as well.

 

Yay, so happy to hear this is happening! I'm browsing the Twitter tag (#FromaCertainPOVStrikesBack) and so far I've spotted these authors announcing their participation:

Spoiler: partial author list

Mike Chen
Tracy Deonn
Christie Golden
Rob Hart
Lydia Y. Kang
Mark Oshiro
Amy Ratcliffe
Beth Revis
Lilliam Rivera
Emily Skrutskie
Karen Strong
Catherynne M. Valente
Austin Walker
Martha Wells
Django Wexler
Kiersten White
Gary Whitta
Brittany N. Williams
Jim Zub

and possibly Tom Angleberger, Zoraida Córdova, Delilah S. Dawson, and E.K. Johnston

 

im hoping for stories based on Kes Dameron and Shara Bey, Wilrow Hood, Adon Fox, his wife and blade squadron. I would say Twilight Company but they got their own story that was set during this time period.

 

I already joked more than once that we could just cut/paste Namir/Chalis' Hoth scenes from Twilight Company into FACPOV ESB and be done with it.

 

YES!!

 

i want a one shot dash rendar story since he was recanonized in the solo tales from vandor reference book.

 

FYI this person is keeping a running tally of the revealed authors:

 

*checks on Veers Watch to make sure their heart didn't explode*

Thinking about the mouse droid short from FACPOV-ANH and wondering what the 'weirdest' POVs will be this time around and which may have the most unique or creative prose styles. Luke's bizarre bacta tank dreams. Luke's severed hand as it falls. Dyspeptic exogorth. Lobot and his implants communicating with Cloud City's central computer.

 

I'm expecting each of the bounty hunters to get their own stories.

 

Spoiler

Mark Oshiro?!?!?!?!??!
Now, that is a name I haven't heard of in a very long time.
Used to follow his Reading and Watching blog years ago.

 

I look forward to seeing Battle of Hoth stuff.

Lol, perhaps we may even get a name for the poor Imperial captain who goes boom in the asteroid field and his ship.

 

Who were the two cantina aliens in Cloud City again? A Walrus head and a... Snivvian?

Did What's the Story establish they were crime-solving buddy cops or something in Legends, or am I just making that up?

 

Lutrillian (Treva Holme) and Snivvian (Wiorkettle).

 

PUT LIEUTENANT PAGE BACK ON HOTH YOU COWARDS

 

He's a sergeant in canon. Check Rebel Files.

@jasonfry you got a piece in this? I hope you do. I hope you got Rogue Group Battle of Hoth.

 

I will do no such thing.

 

I posted it and then rechecked Wookieepedia. So confirmed for Jason Fry's awesome participation.

 

How about a story about Willrow Hood and his desperate attempt to escape cloud city with the most precious thing in all his life?

 

Yeah, we need a Willrow Hood story.

 

John Jackson Miller tweeted too about it

Finally! I've been waiting for this this year!

 

This is great news. I hope Lobot gets a chance to shine and I hope there's at least one story that is totally bonkers.

 

There are multiple stories that are - from our point of view - "totally bonkers"
