A fresh glimpse into the Star Wars universe beyond The Rise of Skywalker awaits, though not from director Shawn Levy just yet. While anticipation builds for Levy’s upcoming Star Wars film, fans can soon explore the galaxy in the wake of the 2019 film through a new young adult novel, Star Wars: The Last Order.

The novel, announced on Penguin Random House’s website, delves deeper into the stories of Finn, the beloved hero played by John Boyega, and Jannah, the Resistance ally portrayed by Naomi Ackie, both introduced in The Rise of Skywalker. The publisher不分页

The official synopsis from Penguin Random House describes the novel, penned by Kwame Mbalia, as follows:

“After the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the Resistance uncovers a ship carrying young captives of the First Order. As Finn and Jannah embark on a mission to track down the First Order officer behind the abductions to prevent further harm, the former stormtroopers confront their complex histories as soldiers of the oppressive regime.”

In a February interview with Deadline, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy discussed the project, stating, “It’s a standalone Star Wars story set roughly five or six years after the first nine films.” Last month, Jonathan Tropper, the film’s writer, expressed optimism about its progress, telling Screen Rant, “I hope it’s coming sooner than expected.” At Star Wars Celebration Japan, the film’s release date was confirmed as May 28, 2027, with Ryan Gosling announced as the lead.
