Review:This is the story of the original three Star Wars movies written in a new, interesting, happier way. It’s hard to describe without giving away the plot, but I think the author describes it best in their note about how they came up with the story idea.

The idea for this story was born at a family reunion, of all places. I discovered some Star Wars fans among my cousins there, and in talking to them, I got to thinking about family ties... and how so much of who we are is defined by our family and our environment. Then, of course, I got to applying that to the Star Wars universe and the Skywalker family... and this happened.

The Tusken Raiders have always fascinated me. We see some intriguing snippets of their culture in the films, but not enough in my opinion. I think, like the Native Americans in the days of the Old West, they've been misrepresented as barbarians and savages. I imagine that sure, some of them might hate and attack the human settlers of Tatooine, but just like the Native Americans there must be friendly, peaceful tribes among them. And besides, wouldn't we be upset if total strangers claimed our backyard as their own, just as the Native Americans lost their land to the Europeans... and the Tusken Raiders suffered with interlopers on their own territory?
