(3) 4-6 Star Wars series. Illustrated by Tyler Scarlet. Droids, bounty hunters, scrap dealers, robberies, theft, and a fable...slices of life in a galaxy far, far away. The six short novellas in this collection build on minor characters and settings from the motion picture Star Wars: The Force Awakens, though the stories can each stand alone. And beware: some of these tales can lean a tad toward the dark side.
