The Star Wars anthology series returns with From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back to celebrate 40 years of Episode V. Like its predecessor, From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back will feature 40 stories by 40 authors reimagining the classic sequel through the eyes of background characters — heroes, villains, droids and creatures.

​

Karen Strong’s story “Into the Clouds” introduces an original Star Wars character, Jailyn Cirri, a Tibanna gas heiress with a love of fashion and a streak of rebellion inspired by Princess Leia Organa.
