Summary
Read on if you dare！ This unique in-world collection hallows the spooky tales and ghost stories that would have kept young Luke and Leia up at night。 Created by George Mann and Grant Griffin--the same team behind the stunning Star Wars: Myths & Fables--these seven frightful fables have been carefully woven from the expansive fabric that is the Star Wars galaxy （including the thrilling landscape from Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland and Disney World）， and beautifully painted in a lush illustrative style that feels intergalactic yet innately archetypal and timeless。

Wow， this was dark and spooky， probably as spooky as it gets for me。 Honestly， I'm not super into spooky books， so I was worried about this， but it was good - more filled with cautionary tales from the Star Wars universe。 Wow， this was dark and spooky， probably as spooky as it gets for me。 Honestly， I'm not super into spooky books， so I was worried about this， but it was good - more filled with cautionary tales from the Star Wars universe。 。。。more

This was pretty good， but maybe not as good as Myths & Fables。 Kinda wish there was dialogue。 The werewolf story and the final one were probably the best。

A collection of ghost stories and fairy tales from a galaxy far， far away。It's a strange experience， coming from the 'Grimm's Fairy Tales' into an "in universe" collection based on 'Star Wars'。 Familiar tropes and allusions abound in this excellent little book from George Mann。 A collection of ghost stories and fairy tales from a galaxy far， far away。It's a strange experience， coming from the 'Grimm's Fairy Tales' into an "in universe" collection based on 'Star Wars'。 Familiar tropes and allusions abound in this excellent little book from George Mann。 。。。more

Summary: Dark Legends is a collection of in-universe fables and spooky stories。 The Orphanage is about force-sensitive children being kidnapped in the night。 Buyer Beware is about a cursed mask corrupting a politician。 The Predecessor is about an Imperial officer losing his sanity。 Blood Moon is about an adventurous crew on a cursed planet。 The Dark Mirror is about a model Jedi Knight that has a dark side。 The Gilded Cage is about the Nightsisters seeking revenge on a Sith Lord。 A Life Immortal Summary: Dark Legends is a collection of in-universe fables and spooky stories。 The Orphanage is about force-sensitive children being kidnapped in the night。 Buyer Beware is about a cursed mask corrupting a politician。 The Predecessor is about an Imperial officer losing his sanity。 Blood Moon is about an adventurous crew on a cursed planet。 The Dark Mirror is about a model Jedi Knight that has a dark side。 The Gilded Cage is about the Nightsisters seeking revenge on a Sith Lord。 A Life Immortal is about a Sith Lord who seeks immortality on Exegol。Overall thoughts: This wasn’t the longest book but all of the stories were great。 It’s a great read for any horror fans that love a heart-pounding story。 Not all of them are scary but they all have a horror-esque feel， dealing about magic or the dark side most of the time。 While the stories all stay away from the main storyline， they all have details that connect and give moments of realization， like seeing Exegol， the Nightsisters， and an Inquisitor。 Each story is a mystery that keeps you reading and wanting to learn more。Favorite Story: These were all great stories， but my favorite is definitely The Orphanage。 I wasn’t sure what to expect coming in， and this one captured my attention instantly。 It’s a tense and mysterious story， and while it never specifically reveals anything， there are details that please hardcore fans。 Final Grade: Dark Legends contains seven mysterious and spooky stories that keep you wanting more， while also teaching valuable lessons about darkness and finding strength within。 9/10 。。。more

Continuing the Myths and Fables series， this is a cool collection of Gothic horror/D&D Ravenloft style stories in Star Wars。

This is a follow-up of sorts to Star Wars: Myths and Fables， also written by George Mann with illustrations by Grant Griffin。 You may recall that I read that book in 2019。 The "Dark Legends" part of this book's title is very fitting。 The stories in it are quite dark and scary， bordering on horror， which you don't normally associate with Star Wars。 I wouldn't read it to very young children， but ages 8 and up should be able to handle it。 And the pictures were fantastic。 I really liked it。 This is a follow-up of sorts to Star Wars: Myths and Fables， also written by George Mann with illustrations by Grant Griffin。 You may recall that I read that book in 2019。 The "Dark Legends" part of this book's title is very fitting。 The stories in it are quite dark and scary， bordering on horror， which you don't normally associate with Star Wars。 I wouldn't read it to very young children， but ages 8 and up should be able to handle it。 And the pictures were fantastic。 I really liked it。 。。。more

”For Elish， evil was embodied not in the form of monsters but of men， for she understood that all the terrors that had so recently blighted the galaxy were enacted at the behest of individuals and not creatures of the night。”Dark Legends is a collection of in-universe spooky legends and horror stories that include everything from Sith lords to Nightsisters to cursed objects。 The book also includes some familiar characters， most notably the dude from the book's cover， Darth Vader himself， but als ”For Elish， evil was embodied not in the form of monsters but of men， for she understood that all the terrors that had so recently blighted the galaxy were enacted at the behest of individuals and not creatures of the night。”Dark Legends is a collection of in-universe spooky legends and horror stories that include everything from Sith lords to Nightsisters to cursed objects。 The book also includes some familiar characters， most notably the dude from the book's cover， Darth Vader himself， but also some smaller， lesser known characters， such as a sith we were introduced to in Mann's previous book Myths and Labels。 When reading books like these that are all about myths， legends and bedtime stories told in the galaxy far far away， it is fun to spot connections and easter eggs and to think whether the story truly happened or if it's just a legend。 But even then， all legends have their roots in reality， so all that is fun to think about too。I love how George Mann took very classic horror elements （werewolves， ghosts etc。） and settings （orphanage， deserted spaces） and wrote a Star Wars version of them that feels both very familiar from our own world and completely， uniquely Star Wars。 The stories were all fun， but some of them were quite forgettable， except a few。 My favourites were "The Orphanage" where a mysterious monster is stealing children at night， "The Dark Mirror" about the padawan of a seemingly perfect Jedi Master and "The Gilded Cage" which follows the Nightsisters as they attempt to get their revenge on a sith lord that wronged them。 This is not a new favorite or a book that I will or think about for weeks after finishing it， but it is a nice book to read and think about while reading it。 While these kinds of books aren't necessarily my favorite canon books to read， I will continue picking them up because even though they don't blow my mind， they are fun to read！ 。。。more

It is a continuation of sorts of Star Wars Myths & Fables that tells us stories but instead of fables， this are darker and usually end badly for the characters。The text itself would be just 3 stars， but again comparing to the first book， the art is amazing， and for that alone I give it 4 stars。The stories are as follow:The Orphanage: I really liked this one， I liked the main character and the ending was good。 And it brings a character from Rebels TV show。Buyer Beware: At first I thought it would It is a continuation of sorts of Star Wars Myths & Fables that tells us stories but instead of fables， this are darker and usually end badly for the characters。The text itself would be just 3 stars， but again comparing to the first book， the art is amazing， and for that alone I give it 4 stars。The stories are as follow:The Orphanage: I really liked this one， I liked the main character and the ending was good。 And it brings a character from Rebels TV show。Buyer Beware: At first I thought it would be Lord Momin's mask， seen in the Vader comics， but it wasn't。 A story about not letting your greed take over your life。The Predecessor: What to say about this one。 VADER。 That's it。 The ghost sightings didn't work much for me， though。Blood Moon: werewolf attack。 Just that。The Dark Mirror: I figured the ending of this one pretty soon， but I enjoyed it very much。The Gilded Cage: Continuation of the story about Darth Caldoth。 Surprise ending。A Life Immortal: Nice to explore a bit more of Exegol， and a good story too。 。。。more

Fun and dark short stories set in the SW universe。 5 or 6 of them。 Interesting and fun。 Keeps you hanging on until the reveal。。。 each story has a little twist to it。 Nicely done。 Makes me want to write short stories。。。

Well I gotta say。。。 Star Wars and horror mix fairly well！What’s it about？In this book we get a collection of short horror （or at least darker than usual） stories set in the galaxy of Star Wars。What I thought of these stories:The Orphanage ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the first story in the book and it is very interesting， intense and creepy！ Predictable but overall very good。Buyer Beware ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Another predictable but nevertheless good story。 It is very dark， intense and well written！ Sorta Twilight Zone- Well I gotta say。。。 Star Wars and horror mix fairly well！What’s it about？In this book we get a collection of short horror （or at least darker than usual） stories set in the galaxy of Star Wars。What I thought of these stories:The Orphanage ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the first story in the book and it is very interesting， intense and creepy！ Predictable but overall very good。Buyer Beware ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Another predictable but nevertheless good story。 It is very dark， intense and well written！ Sorta Twilight Zone-esque。The Predecessor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Started somewhat meh but ended up becoming a very cool， horror-esque take on a very iconic character （not gonna spoil stuff though） so I definitely liked it in the end。Blood Moon ⭐️⭐️⭐️ A fairy standard and predictable werewolf story。 That being said it is still pretty intense and the ending， while predictable， is pretty sweet so not a bad short story by any means。The Dark Mirror ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The story is okay but I think it only slightly fits this collection。The Gilded Cage ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing！ I didn’t know that witchcraft， revenge and Star Wars would be such a great mix！ It is interesting and well written with intriguing characters。 Very suspenseful too。 The ending is really twisted but I like some twisted shit， especially in horror so I loved the twisted ending！A Life Immortal ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In this story a character learns that immortality， which she has been chasing her her whole life， may not be as great as it sounds under certain circumstances。 This story is very dark and pretty twisted （especially the ending）。 It is a pretty great way to finish this collection。Bonus points:There is a well written， tone setting introduction。 It reads sorta like a warning that once these stories are heard they can’t be unheard， it was a pretty cool way to begin the book。Each story has a little illustration at the beginning， they’re mostly pretty good！Overall:This is a really cool book。 As a fan of Star Wars and BIG fan of the horror genre， this definitely worked for me。Sure， some of it can be predictable and not every story in this set is a masterpiece （though the last 2 stories are！） but it is well written， dark and intense throughout which is ultimately what I wanted。I think people who want to explore the dark （sometimes twisted and creepy） side of the Star Wars galaxy should definitely go give this a try！4/5 。。。more

An absolute （spooky！） delight。 Aided by the evocative illustrations of Grant Griffin， George Mann’s short story collection is a kind of Star Wars content I didn’t know I needed: refreshing， new tales that feel like they’re being told around a campfire。

Very good book， fast read。 Loved the short story concept。 Almost would have like to have seen what the short stories would accomplish had they been written by a different authors。 Still， not perfect， but a lot of fun。

Another Fun Collection of Star Wars Tales for KidsLike the previous "Star Wars Myths & Fables" by the same author， we have another set of stories with fuzzy details that are presented as stories passed down person-to-person。 The previous book was obviously lighter in tone， this one may spook some of the younger kids。 Just a fun entry into the Star Wars mythology。 Another Fun Collection of Star Wars Tales for KidsLike the previous "Star Wars Myths & Fables" by the same author， we have another set of stories with fuzzy details that are presented as stories passed down person-to-person。 The previous book was obviously lighter in tone， this one may spook some of the younger kids。 Just a fun entry into the Star Wars mythology。 。。。more

Dark Legends is the followup to Myths and Fables， telling stories that are told in the Star Wars universe， which may or may not be true 'in canon。' It's a bit meta， but once you wrap your head around the concept it's a lot of fun and gives the author some unique freedom to play in the galaxy far， far away。As the title suggests， this collection focuses on the darker side of the universe， and features Sith Lords and evil rulers and generally bad people， or good people that get stuck in bad situati Dark Legends is the followup to Myths and Fables， telling stories that are told in the Star Wars universe， which may or may not be true 'in canon。' It's a bit meta， but once you wrap your head around the concept it's a lot of fun and gives the author some unique freedom to play in the galaxy far， far away。As the title suggests， this collection focuses on the darker side of the universe， and features Sith Lords and evil rulers and generally bad people， or good people that get stuck in bad situations。 Be prepared for the skin on the back of your neck to tingle， and don't read it too close to bedtime if you have a tendency to have nightmares！ George Mann does a great job telling varied stories that all fit a common theme， have few if any connections between them， but nonetheless feel like they belong together。While there are certainly some classic Star Wars evil themes like dark lords and evil witches， I appreciated some of the more unusual tales - how often do we get to see werewolves in our science fiction？ All the stories are great， but I really like it when creators get to push the boundaries of what we've come to expect。If you like horror stories， tales that teach you a lesson， or don't like sleeping through the night， give Dark Legends a read！ It's a great set of myths that happen to be set in the Star Wars universe but don't rely on that to be enjoyable。 。。。more

All in all， a fun collection of spooky stories from the galaxy far， far away！ I think this is ultimately more memorable than its predecessor Myths and Fables， but both are really interesting and valuable additions to Star Wars！Favorite stories were Blood Moon and The Guilded Cage！

A fun collection of scary Star Wars short stories。 It's under the "Legends" label so none of it is canon so all bets are off and Mann can have as much fun as he wants。 I enjoyed Mann's Star Wars "Myths and Fables" from last year and this collection is very much in that vein。While most of the stories are predictable and there is no doubt this is a YA title， it's still a very enjoyable read。 These are more like camp fire stories: Cheesy， predictable， and wonderful。 A few of them even had me chuckl A fun collection of scary Star Wars short stories。 It's under the "Legends" label so none of it is canon so all bets are off and Mann can have as much fun as he wants。 I enjoyed Mann's Star Wars "Myths and Fables" from last year and this collection is very much in that vein。While most of the stories are predictable and there is no doubt this is a YA title， it's still a very enjoyable read。 These are more like camp fire stories: Cheesy， predictable， and wonderful。 A few of them even had me chuckling in delight。 。。。more

Last night I finished reading a new Star Wars book。 A sequel to the Myths and Legends book that I thought would be simple bed time stories。 This one was Star Wars: Dark Legends also by George Mann and this one was even better。 The darker tone of it was a huge refresher for Star Wars， there were so many new Sith to learn of and a lot of them some badass women。 We actually meet one Sith woman who could be a potential threat in a future Star Wars trilogy set after Episodes VII-IX。 Of course the new Last night I finished reading a new Star Wars book。 A sequel to the Myths and Legends book that I thought would be simple bed time stories。 This one was Star Wars: Dark Legends also by George Mann and this one was even better。 The darker tone of it was a huge refresher for Star Wars， there were so many new Sith to learn of and a lot of them some badass women。 We actually meet one Sith woman who could be a potential threat in a future Star Wars trilogy set after Episodes VII-IX。 Of course the new planet Batuu and Black Spire Outpost were shoe horned into this just like in the other book， but it works and it’s nice having new stories to explore about the park you can visit in real life。 There was a wonderful story about Darth Vader in here， a new story for The Grand Inquisitor that gives him a new design， we see more of Exogol from Episode IX and explain more of the planets deep Sith history。 Surprisingly they also show that Palpatine is not the first Sith to use that planet to find the secret to immortality。 We also see The Nightsisters and I always love seeing them and their sick magic。 Also， there’s a werewolf in here， that’s cool， more stories on bounty hunters and scoundrels， but in the Nightsister story we actually see a story from the Myths and Legends book again but built on and from a different perspective。 I really liked the story on the cover of the book， this story about a Jedi fighting a mysterious shadow tormenting the Coruscant Underworld。 We also get our first full story set in the new High Republic era that Star Wars is trying to sell really hard despite no content for it just yet。 We also see Maz Kanata in here， I’m gonna say it， not enough Maz content in Star Wars， she was a great character in the sequels。 I’m giving this a very enthusiastic 10/10 and I highly recommend giving it a read， there’s some absolutely excellent Star Wars content in here set in all the major eras so far and the new era that could be a whole new classic。 This novel is so accessible to all Star Wars fans both die hard and more chill， along with the fairly new fans。 Good for all ages as well just a bit darker than normal for the series。 -Tyler。 。。。more
