'From A Certain Point Of View: The Empire Strikes Back' Will Include Stories About Tauntauns, The Wampa, And Dengar & IG-88

In 2017, Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View gave readers 40 short stories set during the events of A New Hope. Now, the sequel is on its way. From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back will provide fans with 40 new stories set during the events of Empire, and a full list of authors – along with some story details – have officially been announced.

Last week, we ran a story revealing a handful of writers working on From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back. Now, Star Wars has gone ahead and announced the full list. They've also included some story details as well.

Austin Walker explores the unlikely partnership of bounty hunters Dengar and IG-88 as they pursue Han Solo.

Publisher Penguin Random House will also donate $100,000 to First Book, and Disney/Lucasfilm will donate 100,000 children's books — valued at $1,000,000 — to support First Book.

From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back arrives November 10.
