Reirin by Sabaa Tahir

This is the first story that did not have a direct connection to the plot of the movie.  Instead it is an independent scene that happens in the background while Luke and his uncle trade R2 units after their first choice malfunctions.

Reirin is a young, female who dreams of leaving Tatooine and her clan of Tusken Raiders for a life among the stars.

While the two humans negotiate for a new droid she sneaks on board the sandcrawler.

I found it to be a bit similar to the previous story of Jot the Jawa, but still, it goes to expand the desperation on Tatooine.

I just love how much richer these stories are making the movie.  What a terrific idea.
