I am a long time fan of the Star Wars movies, so I thought this would be a great chance to see it from the "Other Side".  I was disappointed in this very short story.  I expected more... alot more.  I don't mean just length.  The characters were shallow, the backstory nonexistent, and the conclusion... well it wasn't a conclusion at all.  I thought it might just be this first book.  I was wrong.  I sadly read all six hoping for improvement.  I was left with more disappointment.
