The Red One by Rae Carson

I continue to be impressed at how enriching these stories are to the original 1977 movie.

This is the story of the little red droid, you know the one.  The one who had a bad motivator.

How did R5-D4 come to be on that sandcrawler with R2-D2?

Perhaps things would have been very different without R5-D4’s involvement. 

On of the themes running through this collection is that there are no unimportant parts. No matter how small or brief, parts are played to allow the story to continue.

I also like reading about the wants and desires of all of these characters.  Everybody has a plan to improve their lives.  Everybody has hope, perhaps that's a requirement for this collection, that everybody embody A New Hope.

A good lesson to remember in all of our lives.
