Cabot spoke at New York Comic Con over the weekend for the Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View panel and shed some light on why she chose to write about Aunt Beru and how she’s the most important character in Star Wars that barely got any screen time whatsoever.
Meg Cabot argues that Luke Skywalker’s Aunt Beru is the true MVP of the Star Wars universe and after reading her pitch, it really makes a lot of sense, even more so than Greedo wanting to kill Han Solo.
Cabot named Aunt Beru as her second-favorite character in the entire Star Wars franchise with Princess Leia being her absolute favorite character.
While speaking at the Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View panel, Meg Cabot spoke about the book and specifically her entry in the anthology series.
