the classic chosen one, Luke Skywalker, adapted into a manga. This book is a collection of short stories adapted from a novel by Ken Liu, which mirrors a lot of the old Expanded Universe books from the 90's – Tales From Jabba's Palace, Tales of the Bounty Hunters, things like that. When Disney bought Lucasfilm , they declared the entire Expanded Universe to be dead – not canon, while everything else they created afterward would be officially canon stories. This book takes a different approach – it's not really clear if these stories are intended to be actual things that happened to Luke. There's no framing device, where people are sitting around a campfire – in my estimation, that's intentional. They're presented as a series of myths, individualJabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi. This is illustrated by the artist (also in their English manga debut) Subaru. In this one, the parasite – Lugubrious Mote – witnesses Luke's confrontation of Jabba the Hutt and thinks he's kind of an arrogant idiot who needs to get over himself. It's the only story in this collection that questions Luke's character and wisdom, and it totally works. Lugubrious Mote, from a perspective of the smallest creature in the story, questions a whole lot of things about that scene in Return of the Jedi – including Princess Leia's humiliating slave outfit – and befriends her, learning about Leia's vision for the galaxy. Leia envisions a space where everyone, regardless of where they came from, what language they speak
