NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian return in this essential novel set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.

The Empire is dead. Nearly two decades after the Battle of Endor, the tattered remnants of Palpatine’s forces have fled to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. But for the heroes of the New Republic, danger and loss are ever-present companions, even in this newly forged era of peace.

Jedi Master Luke Skywalker is haunted by visions of the dark side, foretelling an ominous secret growing somewhere in the depths of space, on a dead world called Exegol. The disturbance in the Force is undeniable . . . and Luke’s worst fears are confirmed when his old friend Lando Calrissian comes to him with reports of a new Sith menace.

After Lando’s daughter was stolen from his arms, he searched the stars for any trace of his lost child. But every new rumor leads only to dead ends and fading hopes—until he crosses paths with Ochi of Bestoon, a Sith assassin tasked with kidnapping a young girl.

Ochi’s true motives remain shrouded to Luke and Lando. For on a junkyard moon, a mysterious envoy of the Sith Eternal has bequeathed a sacred blade to the assassin, promising that it will answer the questions that have haunted him since the Empire fell. In exchange, he must complete a final mission: Return to Exegol with the key to the Sith’s glorious rebirth—Rey, the granddaughter of Darth Sidious himself.

As Ochi hunts Rey and her parents to the edge of the galaxy, Luke and Lando race into the mystery of the Sith’s lingering shadow and aid a young family running for their lives.

Books are just as important as the movies

And they deserve to be. This doesn't just connect the movies and flesh them out, it also branches into Wendig's Aftermath Trilogy, Soule's Vader run, and Pak's Vader run. Read if you want to get lost in the characters and easter eggs.

Meh

Not a great story. Didn’t progress the story much. Kind of slow and boring. Nice try

A Star War worthy of the screen

It’s a Star War like many others.
Fills a lot of holes and deepens a lot of lore whilst giving you all the things that a Star War should.
If you have any feeling about Star Wars you should check this one out.

a must read

a must read for all fans of the sequel Trilogy. ochi is a blast!!!!

Best SW Novel since Kenobi

I am not a giant Disney Sequel fan. That said this book did what any good SW novel should which is to enhance the film narrative. I want to immediately turn on Rise of Skywalker and watch it with new eyes after finishing this story.

Tightest storytelling, most cohesive and overall best addition to Star Wars literature since John Jackson Miller’s Kenobi!
