Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Adult/High School-These 21 stories are for dedicated fans and casual readers alike, although knowledgeable teens will get the most out of the jokes and asides. The tales vary as widely as the styles in which they are illustrated, and the lavish use of color will definitely attract attention. Readers well versed in the minutiae of the Star Wars universe will be thrilled to discover something about Boba Fett's personal life or a lesson once taught to young Anakin and remembered much later by Darth Vader. Those conversant in pop culture will be amused by the encounter between Jedi Micah Giiet and a fearsome kitchen droid called MREM-02 (pronounced Moree-Mohtwo). Both the Max Rebo Band and smuggler Vilmarh Grahrk have returned from Volume 1 in new adventures. There are several appearances of favorite characters like R2-D2 and C-3PO and there is even a bedtime story for young Anakin Solo featuring the adventures of his Uncle Luke's hand. Although some of the stories are stronger than others, this is still an entertaining collection. Purchase as interest demands.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good, though not the best,
By "kandladin" (Castle) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Wars Tales, Vol. 2 (Paperback)
While rather pricey, this collection of short stories is quite charming, and well worth the money, if you're a true die-hard fan, and/or are into comics in particular. I never have been, (into comics, that is) but this caught my eye one day at the last minute in the bookstore, so I picked it up just for the heck of it. And I have to say, that I enjoyed it quite a bit as a whole. Some of the spoofs were really silly, (as in, not worthy of Star Wars) but most everything else was great, the story detailing Padme's first boyfriend was sweet, and the one about Darth Vader and Threepio almost had me in tears. So, I'd recommend this one to anyone with a reasonable amount of EU experience, and a good sense of humor. Good for all ages.

More creamy goodness!,
By "jedimasterhoss" (Springfield, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Wars Tales, Vol. 2 (Paperback)
Star Wars. Ever since I've had coherent thought, I've known Lucas' universe. These tales are a series of entertaining yarns that is worth buying just for the Pulp Fiction spoof. I'd advise casual fans to read something like "Heir to the Empire" by Timothy Zahn, but you hardcore Star Wars fans will get all the in-jokes and cross references in these stories. Check these out!
