The tale of Dr. Evazan & Ponda Baba: 3.5 stars.
This tale refreshingly takes us away from the Cantina and into the future. What happened to the man with the death sentence on twelve systems and the walrus man who got his arm cut off by Ben Kenobi? This story gives us the next chapter, which is grim and mildly entertaining. As you might expect a Doctor who has a death sentence hanging over him isn't exactly ethical.

The moisture farmer's tale: 5 stars. Now this is what I want from a collection of SW short stories. This tale gives us insight into the life of a moisture farmer with aspirations of brokering peace between the farmers, sand people, and the Jawas. A well told first person story that had me rooting for the protagonist against all the long odds. Right up there with the Ithorian's tale for me.

The Spacer's Tale: 3 stars. A little backstory for the guy in a spacesuit who talks to Chewie. Turns out he beat Han's record for the Kessel run, was somewhat force sensitive, and is connected to some kind of monastery on Tatooine. Unfortunately that summary sentence is more interesting than the story presented which consists of these interesting details woven into his escape from the Empire. Meh.

The pipe smoker's tale: Well I guess we needed a little more scum and villainy in our collection of Mos Eisley stories. It's also neat that Star Wars has it's own vampires, but otherwise this was not an enjoyable story, and seeing the Cantina scene from yet another POV is getting tiresome. 1 star.

The Stormtrooper's Tale: 4 stars. Nice to see the nameless faceless Empire get some characterization. This short story intersected a little too much with the movie for my taste, but it was entertaining enough for me to read in one sitting.

The Ranat's tale (rat man). Very, very short. Almost more of an appendix to the previous story. Not awful, not great or even good. Meh. 2/5

The Jawa's tale - easily my second favorite so far behind the Ithorian tale. We get some interesting insights into the Jawas as a people, a plucky protagonist, and a surprisingly open ended conclusion. 4.5 stars

The story of the Devaronian - Meh? It was neat to have this one tied in with both the previous tale and the first one of the collection. I liked the beginning and the backstory to the devil man. Somewhere around half way I found myself asking, "Where is this going?" And the answer was nowhere, kinda. I'll give it 3 stars for being alright.

The tale of Trevagg & Nightlily - You know how some female spiders eat their mates? Well what if that was a Star Wars short story about an arrogant playboy getting his comeuppance? ... Yeah I don't know what to rate this one. I guess I'll give it 2 stars, some of it was at least interesting and it didn't go on too long. Safe to say, not my cup of tea.

The bartender's tale was... baffling. Interesting, slightly grotesque and morbid, and strangely ending with a redemption arc / religious experience to shake him out of his droid bigotry. 3 stars for being entertaining even if I don't know what to make of it.

The Tale of the Hammerhead / Ithorian Mowmaw Nadon. Honestly the best one so far. A gripping character with a little arc. His personal story and struggle between pacifism and the need for justice is well done.
5 stars
