DescriptionEdit
5-Minute Star Wars Stories is a collection of 11 tales spanning every film from the Star Wars saga in existence at the time the book was published, from Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace to Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. All are retellings of events from the films. While some were created for the volume, others were originally released individually as World of Reading titles.
