CLASSIC IMAGE: THE JOYS OF FAMILY...

Despite dark and dangerous years ahead with the birth of the Empire, Bail Organa and his wife make the most of their time with the latest addition to their family in adopted baby Leia, during a beautiful moment from the closing scenes montage of EPISODE III, amidst the picturesque surroundings of peaceful Alderaan.

Alderaan and the Organa's last emotional and defiant days as the Death Star looms, during the later events of A New Hope, are effectively and hauntingly revealed in Madeleine Roux's Eclipse, one of forty short stories memorably created to celebrate EPISODE IV's glorious fortieth anniversary: From a Certain Point of View, out now in hardback from CENTURY.

ROGUE ONE: ESCAPE FROM SCARIF!

As the damaged and in-repair Blockade Runner carrying a special royal personage is trapped in its berth within the dying Calamari cruiser Perfundity, surviving soldiers escaping the terrifying lightsaber-wielding carnage wrought by Darth Vader rush down the now sealed main airlock corridor- one noteworthy individual (played by a certain British director named Gareth Edwards) rushing to activate the clamp release that will send their ship into space and away from further onslaught, as the terrific bridging-saga's scene from ROGUE ONE begins.

Find out what happened next in that short period between Princess Leia Organa and her ship's fast escape from Scarif to its arrival, under Imperial pursuit, above the equally far-off world of Tatooine, through screenwriter Gary Whitta's excellent short story, Raymus, a showcase within the fascinating collection/ homage to Episode IV: A New Hope, celebrating its many diverse supporting characters in 40 special adventures: A Certain Point of View, out now in UK hardback from CENTURY, and earning rave reviews from fans and critics.
