I read a fascinating book full of short stories called something like "tales 
from the catina."  It took all the zero-dimensional characters from Star 
Wars and wrote short stories/novelettes about each one. It also seemed like 
they were interconnected, as if each author was given the end of the 
previous story to start from.

So there's a story about the guy playing keyboard in the Catina band, and 
how he's down on his luck, so he sells a blaster to the jawa who was 
cleaning up the dead bodies at the attacked jawa transport, who takes it and 
tries to get revenge on the empire by shooting the guards who believed these 
aren't the droids they were looking for, who go rough up the pig-faced guard 
to get an audience with Jaba the Hutt, who is in the process of talking to 
the monster trainer to get a new monster of the type Luke dropped the door 
on, etc etc etc.

A very fun concept. I think they actually made two books full of such stories.

   Forget "focus follows mouse." When do
   I get "focus follows gaze"?
