#044 - The Legends of Luke Skywalker Review

In The Force Awakens, Rey says she thought Luke Skywalker was a myth. Separated by only a few decades, the hero of the Rebellion and torchbearer of the Jedi Order has become less a rarified celebrity and more of a Paul Bunyan-esque tall tale character. Author Ken Liu, whose recent Dandelion Dynasty has made huge waves in Sci-Fi literature, expands on this motif with five stories told by weary travelers on their way to Canto Bight, the Las Vegas/Monte Carlo-type city teased in recent promotional material and trailers for The Last Jedi. We review Liu's book as well as discussing recent TV spots for TLJ and reveals in Forces of Destiny with huge implications.
