Heroes in Hiding
Author: Ken Steacy
Illustrator: Ken Steacy
Medium: Picture book
Publication Date: February 1997
Timeline Placement: 0 BBY"We don't serve their kind here! Your droids. They'll have to wait outside. We don't want them here."
– Wuher, A New Hope
C-3PO and R2-D2 hide from stormtroopers in various places after being kicked out of the Mos Eisley cantina. That's it, that's the book. It's ten pages long.
Okay, here's a continuity tidbit: the droids already know about Luke and Obi-Wan booking passage on the Millennium Falcon, which means this story can't take place immediately after Wuher kicks them out of the bar, because they hadn't met Han Solo yet at that point. After leaving the cantina to find a buyer for his landspeeder, Luke must have met up with the droids and tasked them with making their own way to Docking Bay 94. The book ends with Luke reuniting with Artoo and Threepio, who are hiding in the storage compartment of someone else's landspeeder, right before they all enter the docking bay together and blast off aboard the Falcon for "thrilling new adventures."
