Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Witness the epic final chapter of the Skywalker saga with the official novelization of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, including expanded scenes and additional content not seen in theaters!

The Resistance has been reborn. But although Rey and her fellow heroes are back in the fight, the war against the First Order, now led by Supreme Leader Kylo Ren, is far from over. Just as the spark of rebellion is rekindling, a mysterious signal broadcasts throughout the galaxy, with a chilling message: Emperor Palpatine, long thought defeated and destroyed, is back from the dead. 

Has the ancient Lord of the Sith truly returned? Kylo Ren cuts a swath of destruction across the stars, determined to discover any challenge to his control over the First Order and his destiny to rule over the galaxy—and crush it completely. Meanwhile, to discover the truth, Rey, Finn, Poe, and the Resistance must embark on the most perilous adventure they have ever faced.

Featuring all-new scenes adapted from never-before-seen material, deleted scenes, and input from the filmmakers, the story that began in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and continued in Star Wars: The Last Jedi reaches an astounding conclusion.

    This book was 1,000,000,000 times better than the movie. It adds dialogue and scenes that explain the stuff you don’t understand about the movie. Definitely worth the read.

    Liked the story, and a great expansion on the movie. This explained some things that were not included in the movie. The end is so sad 😭😭, really expanded into that one part, gave some closure and answered a huge lingering question. Dialogue was great too! Great elaboration on the Rey and Ben Solo relationship, 😫🥺😍!

    I tried to give this novel 4 1/2 pts but the system would not allow it. HoHum. Anyway, the novel is well written and was worth purchasing. I was looking for answers the movie failed miserably to impart to the fans of Star Wars. For the most part my questions were answered. I’m still confused as to what Finn wanted to tell Rey. Did he want to tell her he was in love with her? Or, did he want to tell her the Force was becoming stong in him? Or, did he want to ask her to teach him to be a Jedi knight? I guess everyone but I knows the answer. Maybe….
