Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Khurram on March 06, 2025

A great book. An excellent addition to the sequel trilogy. It acts very similarly to the other books in the sequels, which gives greater depth to the sequel movies. This was one of the most anticipated books to come out in the Disney era, and for me, it really delivered. It was great to have Luke in......more

Goodreads review by Arezou on June 27, 2022

Rating is probably closer to 2.5. I will be perfectly honest, I went into Shadow of the Sith unsure what to think of it, and hesitant at the premise to say the least. By the sound of things, it was going to at least partially bridge the gap between Star Wars Original and Sequel trilogies, which I am......more

Goodreads review by Jim on March 20, 2023

This is a book that is set before the the new trilogy of sequels. In this one Lando comes across a a plot to kidnap a young girl. Lando sets out to help this girl even though he has no idea who she is. Meanwhile Luke senses a disturbance in the force and he investigates. These two different story li......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on June 29, 2022

For many people this has been been a long time coming. Some of us have been waiting for a book filling in the gaps of The Rise of Skywalker. Some of us have been waiting for a good Luke Skywalker story, some of us have been waiting for another ROTJ-TFA story. Finally it is here. I mention people wait......more

Goodreads review by Ben on October 19, 2024

Now THIS is what I’m talking about. For the most part, most of the “Star Wars” novels that have been published since Disney’s acquisition of the franchise back in 2012 have played things relatively safe, story-speaking, preferring to depict narratives in corners of the galaxy far, far away that are b......more
