‘From a Certain Point of View: Return of the Jedi’ Reveals New Excerpt Narrated by Adam Scott as a Stormtrooper
A new excerpt from the upcoming anthology book, From a Certain Point of View: Return of the Jedi, has been revealed. This time, it’s from the short story Trooper Trouble by Laura Pohl, focused on stormtrooper TK-423’s journal entries as he works on the second Death Star.
Entertainment Weekly had the exclusive to the text, a portion of which you can find below. In addition, it’s been revealed that Adam Scott, of Parks and Recreation and Severance fame, will be narrating the short story for the audiobook — although, given the structure of it, it’s essentially like he’s playing the character. Check out a portion of the excerpt below, and make sure to visit the link above to read it in full:
TK-423 LOG—DS-II—ENTRY11
There is still no caf in the cafeteria. One would think this elementary since it is impossible to spell one without the other. When I mentioned that this may be due to lack of planning on the part of the Empire to the unkind worker behind the counter, TK-293 told me to shut up because we will get into trouble, and troopers who get into trouble get sent through the air lock, which explains the lack of personnel the officers are constantly complaining about. I don’t want to point fingers but perhaps the solution for the “we need more men” problem would be not to throw all available men through the air lock once they complain there’s no caf.

Locked inside the refresher on our floor, no doubt the diligent work of R2-Q9. Hammered on the door until someone opened it for me, all while hearing it malignantly beep on the other side.
You can also listen to the excerpt in audio form on the latest episode of Entertainment Weekly‘s The Dagobah Dispatch:
From a Certain Point of View: Return of the Jedi will be available as a physical book, ebook, or audiobook on August 29.
Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as movies from Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
