Review of 'Star Wars: The Perfect Weapon' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This is telling a short story based on a character we see all of like two seconds in The Force Awakens. You really don't need this for the movie at all (well, the ending does seem to suggest something that applies to it, but we're just not sure), but it is still an interesting look at the character. We get her background, how she got into her bounty hunter line of work and how she gets through the job as mentioned in this story. Not needed to really understand anything at all in TFA or after, but it was good for a ~2 hour story.
