Even within this desire for things to be canon， I still acknowledge and even crave space to be made for myths， legends， stories that may not be entirely true but they might be。 Legends of Luke Skywalker is a good example of this。 The truth of the stories is up for debate， but they’re all framed as being heard third or fourth hand anyway， so naturally some of the details changed。George Mann’s Myths & Legends feels very much in the same spirit。 It’s a series of short stories that don’t directly fe Even within this desire for things to be canon， I still acknowledge and even crave space to be made for myths， legends， stories that may not be entirely true but they might be。 Legends of Luke Skywalker is a good example of this。 The truth of the stories is up for debate， but they’re all framed as being heard third or fourth hand anyway， so naturally some of the details changed。George Mann’s Myths & Legends feels very much in the same spirit。 It’s a series of short stories that don’t directly feature any named characters – not directly， anyway – that all nonetheless add to the overall “flavour” of the GFFA。 There is no *point* to these stories， no frame narrative holding them together。 They’re tales designed to be told or red at bedtime， and like the fairy tales of old， they are equal parts thrilling and terrifying。[READ FULL REVIEW: https://arezoudeetoo。com/2021/08/15/b。。。] 。。。more

The writing is so beautiful and the illustrations even moreso。 I thought I’d be put off by the original characters but I enjoyed some of the original stories even more than those with established characters。 The myth format itself might be the best aspect of the book， because it’s just handled so so well。 Really a great read and an unique look into the universe。

It's an anthology of fairy tales and myths in the Star Wars universe。 The stories are okay， too simplistic， but good enough for children。 The illustrations that accompany each story are amazing， though。 It's an anthology of fairy tales and myths in the Star Wars universe。 The stories are okay， too simplistic， but good enough for children。 The illustrations that accompany each story are amazing， though。 。。。more

After finishing Thrawn， I had one day left in the work week- and even if I overall thought Timothy Zahn's first novel in the Star Wars Canon was good， it was quite dense and I wanted something light。 George Mann's "Myths and Fables" was just what I was looking for。 After seeing the audiobook length of a mere 3 hours， I picked it up from the Libby app and gave it a listen while spraying blackberry

Zahn's first novel in the Star Wars Canon was good， it was quite dense and I wanted something light。 George Mann's "Myths and Fables" was just what I was looking for。 After seeing the audiobook length of a mere 3 hours， I picked it up from the Libby app and gave it a listen while spraying blackberry on one of my work sites。 This book overall was not as good as I was hoping， but there were some definite gems that left me satisfied。 THE STORIES: Myths and Fables is a compilation of fairy-tale style short stories taking place in the Star Wars universe- and although this is technically considered a canon novel （it is actually considered part of the Galaxy's Edge multimedia project）， the book's introduction makes it clear that the reader is not necessarily supposed to take this collection seriously as 100% "true" stories in the timeline。 These are folk tales told by inhabitants of the Star Wars galaxy from all walks of life first and foremost （stated in the book's introduction）- the reader can decide what details to take away as "canon"， and the rest they can ignore completely if so desired。 This book seems meant to be taken simply as a fun， breezy collection of stories that play around with Star Wars' core themes and ideas， and happens to utilize lore from both Canon and Legends。When doing some extra research on this book to clarify some details， I learned that other versions of the book exist that have much more content than the version I listened to on audio （more on that later）。 This review is focused on the nine shorts from the "Standard Edition" that I experienced， and the one that most who check this out will probably read as well。 I am not necessarily going to talk about them in the order they were presented， just for heads up。THE KNIGHT AND THE DRAGON: This one was a really solid way to open up the collection。 It's a fun take on the classic medieval fairy tale set up of a knight in shining armor against a big evil dragon， but with a Star Wars twist。 It takes place on SW's most iconic location， Tatooine- and focuses a village of superstitious people （other reviewers pointed out that this was a Tusken Raider village， and given that the print version has illustrations I will take their word on that）。 The knight， who even just through the audiobook version is heavily implied to be a jedi， was a cool and mysterious figure and his confrontation with the dragon was even more badass and stylistically jedi than I could want。 For reference， this is the story that the book's cover portrays。 3。5/5 just from listening， but probably a 4/5 if I could have had illustrations。 THE DROID WITH A HEART- this was probably my least favorite of the collection。 All of these stories are written in very vague ways， with most of them having little to nothing in the ways of characterization- the stories focus much more on the events and the themes/lessons and the characters are written in a way that those receiving the stories can imagine themselves in these roles， just like those classic fairy tales that you would expect a parent to read to their young children before bedtime。 This one feels out of place because there are obvious references to events and factions that have been very well defined and set in stone as truth/history in the Star Wars saga。 Despite no named characters being mentioned it is very obvious who the central character that this story talks about is supposed to be。 The rest of these entries have little enough defined about them that the time period/central characters/etc can be seen as somewhat nebulous and the events feel removed enough from the rest of galactic history to maintain the feel of an actual in-universe myth or fable。 "The Droid With a Heart" feels like a story that should have been in another compilation more in the style of a collection with more clearly defined stories like Canto Bight from Canon or Tales of the Bounty Hunters from Legends。 Because as is， the writing with this one is too vague to work as an insightful character study but there's too many references to well defined Star Wars lore to feel like an immersive folk tale。This one gets a 2/5。THE BLACK SPIRE: Definitely included as the closest tie-in to Galaxy's Edge， This tale focuses on a simple family from Batuu dealing with a cruel slaver。 The protagonist Anya must rescue her brother and two sisters after one is kidnapped and the others make failed rescue attempts。 She meets a mysterious man who is probably a hidden jedi or something based on the structure of the stories in this collection， but it doesn't actually tell you and it doesn't matter。 This one plays on one of the more subtle themes in Star Wars that frequently appears but doesn't often get talked about- how everyone， even those who don't have the force or extensive combat/pilot training， possesses special traits that define who they are and how those traits can help them succeed at anything they set out to do; and how just because you have more resources and better technology/weapons does not mean you will always win。 It can be seen with what George Lucas was trying to communicate with the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi， and the line in Rogue One about being able to win the day with a sharp stick and nothing to lose。 These same central ideas are on full display here。3/5- wasn't amazing， but it worked for what it was。 GAZE OF STONE- THIS is where we get to the really good stuff， because "Gaze of Stone" was AMAZING。 You like the sith and the dynamics between master and apprentice？ Check！ Do you like darker Star Wars stories and sith being evil？ It doesn't get too graphic （unless somebody who saw the illustrations can confirm otherwise） but otherwise this absolutely portrays the more brutal sides of the Star Wars universe。 You like seeing ambitious apprentices getting more powerful and plotting to overthrow their masters？ Not only will you get that in "Gaze of Stone"， but it culminates in an awesome and brilliantly subversive twist that caught me completely by surprise and presents one of Star Wars' most prominent themes- that of hubris， hunger for power， and how it will always lead to your downfall- in one of the most refreshing ways I've ever encountered in Star Wars， both canon and legends。 This story particularly stands out from the others in that Darth Caldoth was a very memorable presence and I would be completely on board seeing other stories about him， whether they would be vague and mysterious like this or more fleshed out and more definitively established in the timeline。And for an added bonus， this story confirms that the planet Moraband， changed from its legends name "Korriban" by George Lucas in The Clone Wars for the dumbest of reasons， actually was called Korriban in antiquity in the Canon timeline。 Definitely a good way to （kind of？） appease fans who were annoyed by that name change while also honoring the visions/wishes of George Lucas。5/5- I loved "Gaze of Stone" and it makes this whole book worthwhile just for this entry alone。THE WITCH AND THE WOOKIEE- This entry is a perfect meld of utilizing and referencing established characters and lore while also being written to feel like a myth or fable that the galaxy's inhabitants could actually share with others。 By itself， "The Witch and the Wookiee" works well as a fun， spooky romp about terrifying witchcraft and a group of hapless and greedy pirates- offering another spin on thematic elements touched on in "Gaze of Stone"， but this one talks about the dangers of greed。 However， this one will be particularly rewarding for those who are more familiar with the rest of canon lore- the witch is a character that appeared in the now defunct mobile game Star Wars Uprising （which was far from a great Star Wars game， but I wish it was still supported because it had some interesting lore and I did enjoy playing it）， and will be really rewarding for those who managed to play it and discover the other tidbits surrounding her backstory。 But it still still works for the uninitiated and for this book because the character is obscure enough and disconnected enough from the rest of the Star Wars saga that it still has the feel of a common myth or fable。 This one gets a 4。5/5- rounded up for those more familiar with the wider Canon， rounded down for the uninitiated。 Still pretty great regardless。VENGEFUL WAVES， THE WANDERER， THE DARK WRAITH， and CHASING GHOSTS: I decided to talk about all of these stories in one section because I rate them all exactly the same and I had pretty much the same feelings about them。 All of them definitely maintain the myth/fable feel that this book is going for （making all of them work better than "The Droid with the Heart"）， but otherwise I didn't find them very interesting。 Maybe these need the illustrations in the print version to function better， but on the audiobook I couldn't take away anything memorable about them。 None of the mysterious figures struck the same impact as those from the other stories （even the unnamed characters， let alone Shelish from "The Witch and the Wookiee"， or Darth Caldoth and Ry Nymbis from "Gaze of Stone"）， and thematically they didn't convey anything different from the more memorable and interesting entries of this book。 "Vengeful Waves" had an environmental message that I appreciated because of my background in environmental science and ecological restoration， but beyond that was just these two uninteresting alien nations and a buildup to the themes/morals that was completely forgettable。 With "The Dark Wraith" it was heavily implied at least in the audiobook that the figure in question was Darth Vader， but unless the illustrations confirm this otherwise I actually thought the writing did a good enough job keeping things vague enough to maintain the myth/fable feel。 In particular， those who are versed legends （namely the Old Republic）， could probably insert another character similar in design such as Darth Malak or Darth Malgus into this role and the story would work just as well。 But it still wouldn't change how little I remembered from it， despite reusing the same planet and the same city as "The Wanderer"， which was presented earlier in the book's sequencing of the stories。 All of these get a 2。5/5- they definitely have enough of a fairy tale feel to be right at home in this collection， and maybe I could have gotten more out of them if I read the print version and could look at the illustrations。 But from a story structure alone， none of these ended up hitting for me。 THE OTHERS- "The Sleeping Eye"， "The Leviathan"， "The Golden One"， "An Unwilling Apprentice"， "The Silent Circle"， and "The Skiff and the Galleons" can be found in other editions of Myths and Fables。 The first three can be found in the Target edition， and all six can be found in the Galaxy's Edge edition。 I'm not going to review any of these here because I did not get to read them this time around。 However， when I get the opportunity to visit Galaxy's Edge （probably next year in May 2022）， I will make sure I can acquire a physical copy of this book- because I really want to read all of the tall tales George Mann has to offer。THE AUDIO: My opinions on the audiobook are mixed， especially now that I know that this production didn't cover all of George Mann's available Myths and Fables。 This is by no means an abridged production。 It's still unabridged like practically every Star Wars audiobook is now， but the version presented only covers the nine stories in the "standard" edition， "omitting" the 6 bonus tales found in the "extended" editions of this book。 On the one hand， there's plenty to enjoy- narrator James Monroe Iglehart was amazing and I hope he gets the opportunity to narrate more Star Wars novels。 He reads the text as if he was a sweet loving dad reading you a bedtime story， actively improving the experience。 I also loved the music choices- they were still part of the library of John Williams， but the more "obscure" tracks used were ones that I so infrequently hear in other SW audiobook productions that I almost forgot that some of these were Star Wars soundtracks （they even throw in A New Hope's victory celebration！ when do you hear THAT ONE in any of these？？）。On the other hand， I didn't hear a single use of the Star Wars sound effects that audiobook listeners have gotten so accustomed too。 This might actually be a refreshing change-up for those who experience most or all of their star wars novels as audiobooks。 But it was also quite the reminder as to how spoiled we Star Wars fans are when it comes to these things。 The argument can be made that the lack of traditional sound effects enhances the unique style of this book （given that these stories may or may not have actually occurred as the book presents them）， thus making it immersive in its own special way。 It also could be considered jarring and hard to adjust too。 For me personally I wished we had some of those sound effects to make it feel like a Star Wars experience， but I quickly got used to it and was able to let it go。 After my experience a few months ago with the Dragonlance Chronicles， I was reminded that Star Wars is an exception， not the rule- most audiobooks don't have music and sound effects to enhance the experience and just expect you to listen to one narrator reading the text。 I've been spoiled （as have any other Star Wars fan who reads their books this way） with the Star Wars' audiobooks line and the increased production values put into them。 But those who listen to a wider range of audiobooks on a regular basis may not find any of this to be a big deal。 THE CONCLUSION: Final Rating is 3 Stars。 I'm definitely curious if reading a print copy and having illustrations would have made this book better， but this is the rating I'm going with for now。There's actually a bigger portion of the stories that I disliked vs。 the ones that I liked， but the good ones were mostly really， really good。 I'm certainly going to find an extended print edition and revisit this in the future， because I adore this kind of stuff and I will always want more content like this。 I love the Old Republic Era from Legends （and the High Republic Era in Canon） because of the epic， myth-within-a-myth feel these stories have to them。 It all makes the Star Wars universe feel more like a richer， believable， lived in world。 George Mann gave me more of that feeling with Star Wars: Myths and Fables。Otherwise， take this collection for what it is。 If you read Star Wars books to learn more about the wider history/lore or to learn more about your favorite characters， this won't be for you。 But if you want something different and/or easier/lighter to digest， check this one out。 Hopefully you can find enjoyment out of at least one of these myths and fables。 。。。more

I thought this was a neat read and I enjoyed it。 They read like children stories。 Short， to the point， and interesting。 Gaze of Stone was one I enjoyed。 As was Vengeful Waves。The only thing is， this didn't really feel like Star Wars。 Take away the lightsaber and many of these stories could have been plugged into any book。Either way， I enjoyed them。 I thought this was a neat read and I enjoyed it。 They read like children stories。 Short， to the point， and interesting。 Gaze of Stone was one I enjoyed。 As was Vengeful Waves。The only thing is， this didn't really feel like Star Wars。 Take away the lightsaber and many of these stories could have been plugged into any book。Either way， I enjoyed them。 。。。more

This book is good for light reading and some of the stories are really enjoyable。 I'm not sure where/if they fit into the Star Wars canon， but if you take them at surface value， it doesn't really matter。 A lot if the stories take place on Batuu so the book is a little limited there， but still not bad。 This book is good for light reading and some of the stories are really enjoyable。 I'm not sure where/if they fit into the Star Wars canon， but if you take them at surface value， it doesn't really matter。 A lot if the stories take place on Batuu so the book is a little limited there， but still not bad。 。。。more

This was a fun and interesting book。 I do feel like it was a bit。。。 I don’t want to say unfinished？ Though I did suspect that the wanderer was the same character as the wraith maybe？ Nothing came of my suspicion though。 It felt like there should have been more stories， or more of a finale？ I wouldn’t say no to a sequel。 Anyway， yes， I recommend reading this one， or listening to it — the narration on the audiobook was superlative for sure。

Star Wars: Myths and Fables sets about telling stories that may or may not have happened in the Star Wars galaxy。 I really enjoyed reading these stories， knowing anything I didn't care for doesn't really have to be considered canon， but thankfully I did enjoy these and could tell that these events could have been inspired by real ones in-universe。 I thought that these were very similar to elements we might find in real world myths。 The Knight and the Dragon put me in mind of the season two premi Star Wars: Myths and Fables sets about telling stories that may or may not have happened in the Star Wars galaxy。 I really enjoyed reading these stories， knowing anything I didn't care for doesn't really have to be considered canon， but thankfully I did enjoy these and could tell that these events could have been inspired by real ones in-universe。 I thought that these were very similar to elements we might find in real world myths。 The Knight and the Dragon put me in mind of the season two premiere of The Mandalorian， but I have also heard it compared to events in the legends book， Kenobi。 There were plenty of other great short stories， like The Droid with a Heart， Vengeful Waves， The Wanderer， The Black Spire， and Gaze of Stone。 These all invoke Star Wars in the best way。 Gaze of Stone offers a cool story of Sith Mysticism。 There are others that tell us of great deeds of Jedi and one's that relive moments through another perspective。 Obviously the Black Spire story tells of Battuu and helps build a legend around the planetary outpost， which I really liked too。 This book has some fun stories and is a fun one to check out。 I also LOVE the artwork。 These pieces make the book for me。 I think it's worth owning to revisit。 I listened to the Audible version while flipping through the book for the imagery。 I also know that there are other editions to this book that contain more stories and maybe one day I will come across that one and read it too。 This is a fun genre in Star Wars and I look forward to reading more myths， legends， and fables from a galaxy far， far away。。。 。。。more

There is some darkness in these stories， but like real-world myths and fables， these have a moral to each story。I like the illustrations with each。 They help lay the foundation of the story for me。The Knight & the DragonThis is about Krayt the dragon， that devises a plan against a Sand People village。 They feed it others from another tribe until a Knight learns about what's going on。 The Knight is a Jedi， but I don't think it's Obi-Wan。 For one， the dragons are now called krayt dragons; for anot There is some darkness in these stories， but like real-world myths and fables， these have a moral to each story。I like the illustrations with each。 They help lay the foundation of the story for me。The Knight & the DragonThis is about Krayt the dragon， that devises a plan against a Sand People village。 They feed it others from another tribe until a Knight learns about what's going on。 The Knight is a Jedi， but I don't think it's Obi-Wan。 For one， the dragons are now called krayt dragons; for another， it's mentioned that after that the Sand Poeple don't attack each other。 And for some reason my head canon already had that in place by TPM。 Anyway， the Knight deals with Krayt in his own way。The Droid with a HeartThis is definitely about Grievous。 He was a man who found strength in droid replacements， and thought himself above all in different ways--from humans because of his droid parts and from droids because of his heart and brain。 But his heart。。。he feels it holds him back。 This is a great story about how changing ourselves because of depression or whatever doesn't actually make us happy。Vengeful WavesGreed caused the Anselmi to lust after everything the Nautolans have。 They go against the ocean spirit's wishes of them all sharing everything。 The Anselmi get their comeuppance。 I do see some interesting parallels between these species and the Native Americans vs。 white settlers。The WandererIn the city of Solace on the planet Cerosha （both of which sound familiar， but the Wook says that this book is their only mentions）， a Wanderer （Jedi） comes thrice to help when the city is in dire need。 This explains those times。The Black SpireA tall black tree on the outpost remembers a very relatable family of a single mom of four。 It's super odd the youngest follows the advice of a random guy after her older siblings are taken by slavers。Gaze of StoneThis is dark yet sad， and I grapple with my feelings on it。 Before Korriban's name was changed to Moraband， a Twi'lek on Ryloth is born with a strange aura。 It's the Force， but the boy has been shunned and harbors a darkness in his soul。 Cue Darth Caldoth who trains him in a very macabre way， and the boy grows to a very angry man。The Witch & the WookieeThree pirates search for a place on Jhas （in the Hoth system） to hide a treasure they stole from the Empire。 On the planet， they meet a woman who they try to double-cross， but her Wookiee ally makes them change their minds。 And she is a definite witch。The Dark WraithThis is about the destruction of Solace， after the events of "The Wanderer。" He's like a real boogeyman who punishes ANYONE who /truly/ misbehaves。Chasing GhostsAnother one on Batuu where a criminal flees after months of being pursued by a bounty hunter。 While I don't like him， I did chuckle with this， and feel it was a good end to the book。 。。。more
