Synopsis

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.

Thank you, Rae Carson. Thank you for making the book feel like Star Wars. I have no doubt that if Rae was given free reign, she would have written a 5-star book that would have corrected all the mistakes in the movie.

Goodreads review by Gerhard on March 25, 2020

I can honestly say that not only is this one of the most enjoyable Star Wars novelisations I have ever read, but also the one that adds the most to its source material.

Goodreads review by Bria on March 09, 2020

It is impossible for a novelization to fix the biggest problems I had with the movie but it can bring some new depth and appreciation for the story. That’s exactly what Rae Carson has achieved here.......more

Goodreads review by Scott on November 22, 2023

Rae Carson's novelization of "The Rise of Skywalker" is, according to the cover, an "expanded edition". All this means, in reality, is that it includes scenes or extended dialogue that never made it into the movie, for whatever reason. If this were a DVD, these would all be in the "deleted scenes" s......more

Goodreads review by Jesús on March 20, 2020

"Se volvió hacia Kylo una última vez. Lo odiaba por decírselo. Y sin embargo estaba contenta con ello. Una díada ..." Una estrella más por la emoción que trajo consigo para mí toda la saga de esta última trilogía y su buena adaptación por este libro. Pasé un gran rato de emociones viendo a estos dos......more
