When Lina Graf and her Rebels team crash land on Mustafar, they need to figure out how to get out of the planet. This means trying to find and/or steal a ship. The only place that may have a ship is Darth Vader's heavily guarded fortress nearby. In order to distract themselves a bit and lower tension, they tell spooky stories. Stories feature characters like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo and Chewbacca, and others.
This volume is basically a collection of light and fun spooky stories for young adult/juvenile readers. The volume features five stories that blend spooky with a sense of humor. If Star Wars characters sat around a camp fire to tell tales, they'd tell tales like this. The book is a light and easy read. The art varies as it is drawn by various artists; some stories look better than others. Stories are light and entertaining. While you can read this any time of the year, it makes for good Halloween season reading. It does have a nice cuteness element coated in Star Wars that works. Overall, I liked it.
3 out of 5 stars.
