This is a collection of short stories from other "points of view" covering the events of The Empire Strikes Back. Some cover relatively anonymous characters, while others give viewpoints of the main characters. It is essentially a collection of fan-fiction written by a number of big names in science fiction. There are a large number of authors and narrators in the collection. the stories range in quality and length. I enjoyed some that tried to tell the story from the point of view of random "extras". There is the rebel fighter or the person merely working their job for the empire. The stories have obviously been written with modern points of view. (Very interesting that a culture a long time ago seems to evolve with our society today.) There are also bits from the view of "creatures" and main characters. Some of the stories even overlap, giving different views of similar stories.
