This book is definitely a perfectly adequate thing that happened.
There were a few standout stories—Meg Cabot, Ken Liu, and Nnedi Okorafor in particular—who gave their characters voices and a strong sense of style. They felt like they were telling a story for a reason, not just to fill in the gaps.
I think I would have preferred this book out of chronological order, especially all the bits in the Cantina. Two were fine, but man did that go on.
Also, Leia was described as small a LOT. Once per story is a bit much.
A good book for fans, but possibly meant to be read a story at a time.
