A new Star Wars book will finally explain plot holes from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Lucasfilm wrapped the continuation set of three up with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, yet unfortunately it didn’t land as the studio would have trusted. The absence of an overarching plan for the spin-off time implied the account felt contradictory, with sudden course-redresses. The most over the top glaring issue was the surprising return of Emperor Palpatine, with the actual film providing no response for how he endure his obvious passing in Return of the Jedi.
Presently, Lucasfilm has officially declared a new clever that will basically fill in as a prequel to the whole Star Wars continuation set of three, focusing on Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian’s mission for the secret Sith redoubt of Exegol, and their quest for Ochi of Bestoon. Composed by Adam Christopher, Shadow of the Sith will be delivered on June 28, 2022. Here is the synopsis:
Shadow of the Sith kicks off something new for Star Wars, since it is the main novel of Luke Skywalker to be told in that whole time-frame; as of recently the nearest Lucasfilm had gone to this was Ken Liu’s The Legends of Luke Skywalker, an assortment of in-universe fantasies surrounding the famous Jedi Master that – while containing pieces of truth – couldn’t actually be viewed as group. Besides, this is Luke Skywalker before his portentous showdown with Ben Solo and the annihilation of the Jedi Temple, meaning it might well uncover insider facts of his Jedi Order too. It’s very conceivable the story will even culminate in a retelling of Charles Soule’s The Rise of Kylo Ren miniseries, in light of the fact that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker appeared to suggest Palpatine just barely figured out how to overcome Luke Skywalker before his arrangements were revealed.
In the interim, it will be interesting to perceive how well Adam Christopher manages the unenviable errand of dealing with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’s plot holes. The basis has effectively been finished by Marvel Comics, who have transformed Ochi of Bestoon into a completely fledged person in his own right, however he should expand upon that establishment. Hardly any Star Wars connections have felt so crucial for the overarching account of the cosmic system as this one, however Lucasfilm has had a really long time to consider the ramifications and ideally the story will settle a portion of the additional troubling secrets.
