The Face of Evil
In a galaxy far, far away, during a storm-torn night on the planet Takodana, Specimen Nine has escaped from the dungeon—which means the Frigosian cryptosurgeons have lost their latest test subject! So when a thief on the run lands on the planet, desperate to hide, what price will the Frigosians make her pay to disappear all together?

On December 1st, Del Rey released 4 short stories written by Landry Q. Walker within the canon Star Wars universe as we know it, as tie-ins to the Force Awakens. These four shorts will be collected, along with two others, in an anthology called 'Tales from a Galaxy Far, Far Away: Aliens'. These stories, written for a targeted age of 8-12, are still enjoyable little snippets for ravenous fans of the Star Wars book range, as they tell tales of some of the alien creatures we've seen in the trailers and other media. Some spoilers from here on out.
The Face of Evil, the second short story I read from the anthology, takes a more classic horror approach than the others. Ryn Biggleston, a female human and master thief, leaves her longtime accomplice BeeLee Amdas to die. In BeeLee's last moments she betrays the double-crossing Ryn by putting a sizable bounty on her head, making her the 6th most-wanted person in the galaxy. She takes refuge on the planet Takodana, in Maz Kanata's castle. There she meets the three creatures on the cover, two Frigosians and a Snivvian, who offer her a way out.
Now it must be said that the two furry and eccentric Frigosians are crafted and written to be, essentially, like Doctor Frankenstein. They spend all their time experimenting on different species, morphing them into monstrosities. I quite like them, but as background characters. Thromba and Laparo, their names, are actually ridiculously freaky creatures considering their pastime, albeit looking so cute. They're called cryptosurgeons, but for the sake of this tale they're basically plastic surgeons. I'm curious as to what purpose they serve under Maz Kanata.
Maz, the pirate queen herself, is not featured in this story, which is a shame. I'm dying to meet her. The way this short was written gives the impression that her castle is very ominous, spooky, with plenty of passages to lose yourself in. Actually, it fits pretty well with the Frankenstein-castle mold that the story plays around with.
Ryn Biggleston submits to a full reshaping of her face and torso, to avoid being captured. Several pages go to great lengths in describing the process the two cryptosurgeons take in making Ryn a different person. It's really quite strange. I understand plastic surgery to 'better' or 'upgrade ones self or appearance. I can even understand the desire to look unrecognizable. But the lengths to which Ryn is willing to subject herself to, on a whim, are extraordinary. Sure, she's on the run, but she doesn't even give it any real thought. Perhaps, within the realm of Star Wars, it's far more normal of a procedure that she wasn't particularly worried about her final outcome? I wouldn't go so far as to say this is a 'plastic positive' story, as the cryptosurgeons are the last individuals you'd ever want as surgeons, but it certainly gives off a scarily blasé mentality. But then again, our main character doesn't seem to care much about anything or anyone, no less her own state of mind.
Of course, as a no-good criminal, Ryn has to get caught eventually. There is an interesting twist that I'll let you discover, as its a worthwhile reveal. Interestingly there are no protagonists in this story. Either they're creepy aliens, or they're criminals who'll do anything to save their own backs. This works as a short story, and it doesn't even need to take place in the galaxy far, far away to be enjoyable, but that added background stages it so well.

Short and sweet story reminiscent of Frankenstien, set in Maz's castle. It was fun and spooky.

With this story, we get our first look inside the castle of Maz Kanata on Takodana. There is an Edgar Allan Poe feel. It is a dark and stormy night. There's something in the basement. There's also a Frankenstein-like feel to the science.
When I first saw the fluffy yellow creatures featured in this story, I thought they were ridiculous even for Star Wars. But, I like their characterization. I want to explore Maz Kanata's castle more.
I give this short story a 5/5. It is a fun and creepy read.

Holy frick, this should've come with a warning.
Yeah, the stories in this series are all pretty different, but they all tend to be, for the most part, lighthearted enough with a happy ending. And then this one just... frick.
I'm just so squeamish about physical reconstructive surgery and the like. Especially when it's fricked up stuff like this. It's sort of a la Face/Off and some 70's black and white horror movie.
I don't know WHY someone was assigned to write about the two little fluffy monsters from TFA that basically act like that torture droid from RotJ. I really, really didn't need to read this. Admittedly, it's not so bad that it'll probably cause this reaction from everyone, but... it was late lol. This wasn't a great image to have in my mind before I went to bed.
Also, the writing in this one just isn't strong. The very first line where Ryn is introduced, she is described as "tall, red-haired, and has sleeves of tattoos" in ONE line. It's messy and doesn't flow well. And the "plot twist" is fairly obvious. Gosh this was weird. What am I reading?
1.5/5 stars. I just... I don't know, man. I don't know.

The Star Wars link is secondary. This is a damn fine sci-fi story.

This story was a lot of fun. Turns out those two cute chicken looking aliebs in the Force Awakens are mad scientists ! In between creature splicing, the pair perform surgeries for those on the run. When a female bounty hunter finds her way to their laboratory in Maz's castle she thinks the scientists are an easy scam but shes very wrong ! Its interesting that Maz would let these two operate in her castle but I guess the arent truly evil. A cute read. I'm enjoying these stories.

So is technically a YOUNG READER level short story. A Disney canon short story, it’s short, fun, and a quick read. It can alternatively be found in the collection, Tales From The Galaxy Far, Far Away: Aliens: Vol. 1
The Face of Evil: 5*
This story is a SW universe retelling of Frankenstein. However, it’s being retold at its finest. I genuinely wish these spin-off movies would focus on different things like this while still being “in-universe.” Imagine Dr. Frankenstein but as two minion-like puff balls. Portrayed like the evil scientist style from films. There’s even an Igor like assistant, a castle, a monster, and a lightning storm.
The only downsides for me are that it was a young reader, because this could so easily have been a full on horror, and the fact that now that we’ve seen TFA, we know this could never have happened in Moz’s castle

Walker has a talent for making each Tales from a Galaxy Far, Far Away short story completely distinctive. The Crimson Corsair is a hilarious, twisty lark, High Noon on Jakku is a well-paced western, and this entry has more of an old-school horror vibe. It works just as well as the other two stories I have read, introducing us to the planet Takodana and Maz Kanata’s dubious castle.
The Face of Evil does not, however, acquaint us with Maz herself. That was a little disappointing, but I guess the fact that she allows Frankenstein-like surgeons to perform experiments for profit in a dark corner of her palace tells us something about who she is.

The Face of Evil
Герои: Ryn Biggleston, Laparo, Thromba, BeeLee, Drix
Място на действието: Такодана и замъка на Маз Каната
Жанр: история с неочакван край, трилър, ужаси
Подобно на: епизод от „Разкази от криптата” или „Зоната на здрача”.
Тази новела отлично съчетава галактиката на Междузвездни войни с готически ужас а-ла Мери Шели или Едгар Алан По! Космическият престъпник Рин Бигълстон предава своята партньорка БийЛий и се измъква с плячката от поредния удар. Преди обаче да срещне страшната си гибел, БийЛий успява да изпрати в Холонет компрометираща трансмисия, която разкрива самоличността на Рин. Отчаяна да намери убежище, Рин се покрива сред колоритните обитатели на замъка на Маз Каната. Там тя се свързва с Лапаро и Тромба, двойка фригосийци (Frigosians), и техния прислужник Дрикс, които обещават да разрешат проблема й. Скрити между стените на древния замък фригосийците провеждат своите зловещи генетични и хирургически експерименти върху различни нещастни форми на живот, а Дрикс (своеборазен Игор) им набавя нови жертви за бъдещи опити. Двамата криптохирурзи обещават нов външен вид на Рин, срещу свръхвисоко заплащане, разбира се. Но и двете страни в тази тъмна сделка имат други планове и назрява предателство…
Криптохирурзите бяха предвидени като персонажи в „Силата се пробужда”, и дори имаше снимка на единия от двамата в компанията на актьора Уоруик Дейвис. Лично аз, уви, не ги видях във филма… Възможно е да съм мигнал!
Луди учени, уродливи прислужници, стари замъци и тайни лаборатории, престъпления и предателство, бягство от закона… „Лицето на злото” е чудесно попълнение в новия канон на Дисни. Носи класически елементи на разказ на ужасите с неочакван край. Освен всичко, има и забележително многобройно женско присъствие сред главните герои – от Лукасфилм всячески се стараят да ни докажат, че Рей не е прецедент, и женския пол е равноправно представен във вселената на Star Wars.

Totally dispensable.
March 26, 2016
Наконец кое-кто добрался до мелких рассказов, предварявших выход SW VII. Ничего особенного ожидать не приходится, но в отсутствие желания погружаться в большие новоканонные книжки и такой фикс в радость. Ориентирована вся серия, насколько я понимаю, на детей вчетверо меня младше :\
The Face Of Evil – это что-то вроде Франкенштейна в декорациях SW. В наборе гениальные микрохирурги, промышляющие полузаконными экспериментами на чердаке и чудовищные последствия их маниакальной приверженности перелопачиванию генов. Где-то в процессе в историю вливается главгероиня, которую ожидает ревелейшн в лучших традициях мастеров психологического хоррора. Все повествование снабжено непрекращающимся дождем и мрачной атмосферой, от которых становится совсем невесело. Дополнительной мерзости добавляют подробности операций – зачем, ну зачем? Я-то надеялась на рассказик про пришельцев с беготней и стрелялками, а вовсе не на анатомические экскурсы. Основная линия с напарницами неплоха (в условиях ограниченного пространства проработана на ура), только что предсказуема до чертиков.
А еще на протяжении всего рассказа мне приходилось регулярно хвататься за гугл-картинки, потому как обилие разнообразных (незнакомых) рас грозило затопить. Я только иторианцев и знаю ._. Такое ощущение, что госпоже автору поставили задачу как минимум раз упомянуть обо всех пришельцах, встречающихся в замке Маз Канаты. Это вовсе не плохо, я просветилась на ура.Уже все забыла х)
В общем, по мне так получилась отличная отсылка к добротному хоррору, так что про детей в аннотации я совсем не уверена. Вот любителям По и Лавкрафта (на крайний случай Penny Dreadful) – милости прошу. Даже щупальца в наборе >;->

Another short story under the Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens flag. Spoilers.
This one tells us about two unappealing, fluffy, yellow creatures, apparently avid Doctor Frankenstein fans, whose surgical mania is constantly forcing them to transmute one spiecies into another, of course with help of their humble servant,Igor Drix. Who is limping.
There is also a thief involved, who decides to go under complete plastic surgery in order to run away from bounty hunters. Which this whole story is mostly about. But what would a good horror tale be without a monster at some point in it? There is one and it is the most ridiculous creation you could possibly think of in Star Wars universe.
In general, it is truly unnecessary attempt to putMary Shelley-like, Allan Poe-like, Star Wars-like story into the new canon. You simply can not take some blaster pistols, some alien races that appeared in the movies, an idiot thief and pretend it's Star Wars. And it all takes place in Maz Kanata's castle. It's a trap.

A fun, quick read!
If you are like me and want to delve into and read all things Star Wars, then take a half hour break and read The Face of Evil. It mostly takes place on a new planet we are introduced to in The Force Awakens and we meet our new characters. It's Star Wars meets Frankenstein as we get a clever take on the old tale! Our new characters include a thief on the run, a couple of scientists with a penchant for wild reconstructive surgery , their faithful yet maimed assistant, and of course their own monster they created in an ancient castle on a dark and stormy night! The read is fun and fast paced, but I admit I did see the end coming after halfway through. Overall it's a good story and we get to learn a little more about the planet Takodana and Maz Kanata's castle that are featured in The Force Awakens. Give the story a shot and relive the tale of Frankenstein Star Wars style in a galaxy far, far away...

I was a little taken aback by the chapter count when I started this, but the pace of these (really short) short stories quickly became clear. (Very few chapters are more than one page.) These four "Tales From a Galaxy Far, Far Away" aren't as good as "The Perfect Weapon" or the three short stories set amidst the original trilogy, but they're good for what they are; quick glimpses of background characters seen (or in one case, not seen due to late production edits) in The Force Awakens. Unlike the original trilogy books, which did that in the context of big character development stories about the classic four, there's a clear "no main characters" rule in place here in closer proximity to the new trilogy.
This one reads like a (very predictable) Roald Dahl short story. In space. The characters of Laparo and Thromba are hilariously yet creepily represented, and just might be my favorite of the Takodana background characters we've met thus far.

This has a mad scientist/Frankenstein feel to it. Like the other stories in the Tales From a Galaxy Far, Far: Aliens collection, it has a fun twist at the end. I enjoy how all these short stories get straight to the action and this one is no exception. The faces on the cover of this story (the two little guys with furry yellow heads) look familiar to me for some reason. I tried watching A Force Awakens and I couldn't see them in the castle even in passing. This is set in Maz Kanata's castle.

Bravo! This new canon Star Wars short story played out like an episode of Tales From the Crypt or The Twilight Zone. A thief goes on the run and in the process of trying to disguise herself, makes life so much worse. This one was twisted and made me laugh a lot at the end. I hope we see Thromba and Laparo again soon!

Star Wars has dabbled in genres of all kinds, from monster movies to film noir, and this is one of those entrants. It's a little bit "Frankenstein" and a little bit "Face/Off." Unfortunately, the "surprise" ending was pretty obvious far before the ending, but otherwise it was an interesting read and gives me more things to look for the next time I watch "The Force Awakens."
January 26, 2016
This was an interesting Twilight Zone like tale of a thief who after multiple double crosses, gets double crossed herself.
It was a fun little story, but for it really to payoff, it needed to be a little darker in tone.

This was a better story than the constable one. Maybe the soft-core horror appeal did more for me. It also adds to some of the mystery of what's going on inside Maz's castle. It's a short, simple read. But it was worth the dollar I paid.

While not as (apparently) revealing of larger plot points behind the scenes of Force Awakens, this quickie of an interstellar criminal on the run has a twist worthy of O Henry and The Twilight Zone.

wicked little story

Unappealing characters, an unimaginative plot, and a terrible attempt at a "surprise" ending all combine to make this a wasted opportunity. At least it was short.

The book is Canon and gives a couple of interesting items into Maz Katana.

Disturbing and fascinating
An unusual subject for a Star Wars short story but one which makes sense for a galaxy like this one. It was the perfect length.

I'm not sure if this novella really added much to the new canon of the Star Wars universe but it was an okay read with a cute little twist.

Interesting, laboratories, some minions and betrayal. Short and to the point.
