“Terrible things will always happen. They happened on Kiffex and they happen on Naboo and they happen on Tatooine. There will always be a war, and there will always be someone who wants us locked up. But the only thing we can do is survive, Sen. Survive until they won’t let us.”When I heard the words "Jawa POV," I instantly knew that From a Certain Point of View is something I simply must read.

A match made in heaven, despite my dislike of short stories and anthologies.

And that’s all well and good, but there was sand in my butt crack and the day wasn’t getting any cooler, so quite frankly I wished he’d hurry up and get to the point.Essentially, the more minor the character and the more bullshit their job, the more I liked it. I wish I could get a full novel of some of those, especially the antics of bored stormtroopers who are sick of dealing with sand up their asscrack or bureaucrats going on about their daily life.
