New 'Star Wars' Book That Slipped Under Everyone's Radar
If it has been said once or a million times, Star Wars is a massive universe with infinite potential for stories. The sheer size and depth of the universe make it the perfect place for anthology stories. That is something that Lucasfilm seems to have realized in recent years. With shows like Star Wars Visions and the recently announced Tales of the Jedi and Young Jedi Adventures, Lucasfilm has finally seen the potential of stand-alone stories that happen throughout the galaxy far, far away. But, of course, television isn’t the only place getting great anthology stories.

The Best Minor Characters in Star Wars
There is a term in the Star Wars fandom known as “Glup Shitto”, which is a joke about the minor characters in Star Wars and how fans will get excited over a character who has two seconds of screen time.
