New Star Wars Anthology Explores 40 Years of a Galaxy Far, Far Away

A new franchise that would captivate audiences for multiple generations began in 1977 when “Star Wars: A New Hope” landed in theaters. While Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader and others became household names, the film also introduced a range of ancillary characters worthy of having their stories told.

Del Ray Books plans to let readers learn more about these individuals for the 40th anniversary of “A New Hope” in a new anthology titled “Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View.” The book will be filled with 40 stories from more than 40 authors and follow characters “from X-wing pilots who helped Luke destroy the Death Star to the stormtroopers who never quite could find the droids they were looking for.”

Many of the authors contributing to the anthology teased their involvement using the hashtag #OperationBlueMilk on Twitter. The current list of authors is below, with more to be announced closer to the book’s release date in October:

The name of the town played a huge role in inspiring George Lucas for the name of Luke Skywalker’s home planet of Tatooine. Die-hard fans of the blockbuster often make pilgrimages to the sets elsewhere in the country.

A mysterious hashtag has popped up online teasing something exciting to do with Star Wars. The exact details behind #OperationBlueMilk have now been revealed, as Disney will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the saga with new stories centering on the weird background characters of the series.

The set-up will be very interesting as 40 stories that have been written by dozens of writers will soon be collected in one book. The writers will include Rouge One screenwriter Gary Whitta, famed comic book writer Paul Dini, Thrilling Adventure Hour creators Ben Acker & Ben Blacker, and more.
