Whatever else happens in Adam Christopher’s Star Wars writing career, he’ll always have a very interesting footnote on his Wookieepedia page: he was scheduled to write a tie-in novel for THE MANDALORIAN, but the book was canceled, with Del Rey/Star Wars offering up this in a tweet: 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.Īs 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. 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. Ochi’s true motives remain shrouded to Luke and Lando. 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. and Luke’s worst fears are confirmed when his old friend Lando Calrissian comes to him with reports of a new Sith menace.Īfter Lando’s daughter was stolen from his arms, he searched the stars for any trace of his lost child. The disturbance in the Force is undeniable.

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