Here are some of the stories in the From a Certain Point of View anthology

The Penguin-Random House listing for Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View, an anthology of 40 Star Wars short stories, now describes some of the stories in the anthology.

Check out the tweet and the accompanying screenshot below.
