Star Wars Canto Bight is a collection of “okay” short stories, I’m wondering why and if there’s a follow up.
There is about a masseuse and his adopted daughter caught up with the Kanto mob—gangsters and favor racing. It ends well, like the others, except for the fourth story, which I can’t remember clearly.
The another story is about sommelier an expert drink maker. As a foodie, I liked that. It’s set in a shady club with two twin sisters from another galaxy. They reminded me of the daughter in the Mortis gods arc. They don’t explain much about them, but it hints at another part of the galaxy.
The most entertaining: a down-on-his-luck gambler with 24 hours to make some cash. It’s a fun adventure with three interesting characters helping move the story.
The the last story is about a salesman who won a trip of a lifetime. It’s kind of funny but ultimately falls flat.
Overall, it’s a good read not bad, just what it is. The whole thing is pretty long, maybe too long. If you’re a fan looking for the average people of the galaxy, this could be a good read. 3/5
