The events of Lost Stars run parallel – and sometimes intertwine – with the events of the Original Trilogy of Star Wars.
Through the eyes of star-crossed lovers Ciena Ree and Thane Kyrrell, we get to see the beats of these movies in a whole new light, including:
- The destruction of Alderaan
- The destruction of Death Star I
- The rescue of Darth Vader
- The Battle of Hoth
- The pursuit of the Falcon into the asteroid field
- The plot to capture the Falcon at the end of Empire
- The Emperor’s arrival at Death Star II
- The (space) Battle of Endor
And they encounter some famous characters, too, including Darth Vader, Grand Moff Tarkin, Princess Leia, Mon Mothma, General Riekkan, General Madine, Wedge Antilles, Admiral Piett, and more.
