Series: Epic Yarns
Jack and Holman's previous series, Cozy Classics, stages handcrafted felt puppets in scenes from classic literature and summarizes the famous texts in twelve total words per book, one word per scene. The result is a series that's accurate, funny, and smart. Star Wars Epic Yarns applies this device to one of modern culture’s favorite epics: the Star Wars Saga. Timed to coincide with Disney’s release of Episode VII, these books begin with the original trilogy: Episodes IV-VI, one book per movie. In Episode VI, Return of the Jedi, Luke, his Droids, and his Lightsaber find success in their fight for the Rebel soldiers against the Dark Side.
