I am a HUGE Star Wars fan, so when I got the opportunity to be a part of this book tour, I jumped at it! Luke Skywalker is, some would argue, the central character of the Star Wars franchise. He is the "Savior" of the galaxy and also the catalyst for future destruction. Luke has been regular farm-boy, Padawan, and Jedi Master. He is from a powerful lineage, and uses that power to protect, not harm.
There is so many stories that have yet to be told within the Star Wars Universe about all the characters, but I'm so glad that the exploration of those stories is including Luke himself. Reading the legends, you get a sense of both the man and the hero. A person whispered about in awe and in fear.
If you're a Star Wars fan, this book should not be missing from your home library!
