As a cargo ship rockets across the galaxy to Canto Bight, the deckhands onboard trade stories about legendary Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker. But are the stories of iconic and mysterious Luke Skywalker true or merely tall tales passed from one corner of the galaxy to another? Is Skywalker really a famous Jedi hero, an elaborate charlatan, or even part droid? The deckhands will have to decide for themselves when they hear The Legends of Luke Skywalker. A collection of myths and tall tales about the legendary Jedi Luke Skywalker, written by Nebula, Hugo, and World Fantasy Award-winning author Ken Liu.

About the Creator
Featured Article: The Definitive Guide to the Canonical Star Wars Timeline
The Star Wars timeline is complicated. With a recently reestablished canon, a tendency toward nonlinear storytelling, and an ongoing creative surge of new films, television series, books, and comics expanding the already massive universe, it can be incredibly difficult for even the most dedicated among us to keep the Star Wars timeline straight. This unofficial timeline explainer offers a brief illumination of each period and the stories set within.

BUT...January LaVoy was not the right choice to read this book. She is AMAZING in other Star Wars books (Phasma for instance) but a book about Luke--and one incorporating a wide gamut of voices and characters needed Marc Thompson for sure. Had he read this book, it would have gotten 5 stars for sure.
Ms. LaVoy is great for those young female characters...and she does a great Imperial accent...but she always makes males sound offish and dumb. ...and Luke never sounded offish and dumb in the movies--especially post RotJ Luke.
I definitely wish i had read this one myself rather than listened, and i highly recommend that you do the same. Again, GREAT book....but not the greatest reading.
Read this one--not the best in audio format

This book serves to enhance the legend of Luke Skywalker. Remember in The Force Awakens how Rey and Finn reacted to hearing about Luke and that he might actually have been a real person, first on Jakku, and then later on the Falcon with Han? This book is made up of stories that create that kind of awe about Luke. You have to decide what part of the stories seem real, fake or too good to be true, and thus stories of a legend.
I was enthralled by the narration. January LaVoy is the narrator of this book and was the narrator of the pervious book I listened to, Phasma. She is extremely skilled, fun to listen to, and as is always the hope, she brings each story to life with her passion and emotion.
There are a couple of stories in this book that may very well lead us into The Last Jedi while one story is a retelling of events seen from Return of the Jedi, and a few that it was hard to tell when they might have occurred, but every story was entertaining, interesting and even a little emotional (much of that credit goes to the narration stylings of January LaVoy).
I recommend this book and suggest that readers go into with an open mind and with the thought that you will be hearing stories about Luke Skywalker told by normal sentient beings from across the galaxy who have heard about or even personally know Luke, but seem to hold him in very high regard and that each telling is designed to increase his reputation and status as both a person and a Jedi - likely for the purpose of then reintroducing him in the soon to be released Star Wars: The Last Jedi as a larger than life legendary figure,
