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.

I am waaay behind on my #StarWarsBuddyRead but am making progress. I listened to this on audio and loved it. The interplay between Luke and Lando was comforting, and seeing a more vulnerable side of Lando was revelatory.

The audio production was fantastic with a great narrator, music and sound effects that enhanced the experience rather than detracting from it.

BookwormAHN I've been really impressed with these audiobooks as well 😺 1y
Mollyanna @BookwormAHN I put a hold on a couple more after I finished this one. Looking forward to the listens. 1y

This is the story that is a sort of prequel to the sequels. Or rather this is the story of how Rey ended up on Jakku. And if you play close attention you can see Ben's impending fall as well. On the up side Luke and Lando are a fantastic team and I really enjoyed catching up with them 🖤

Can't we just give Rey this book to read? And there will be a next one, right? Right?!

I loved the Luke-Lando friendship story. And the story about Reys parents. It really, really moved me and I keep questioning myself “What if...“. Also the small scenes with Ben... Total heart-break, really.

BookwormAHN I agree, I have even more sympathy for Rey after reading this and poor Ben. I think he needed Uncle Luke more than Master Luke. 2y
Jari-chan @BookwormAHN You are so, so right! 💔 2y

Last month took us to Endor & the marriage of Han & Leia. And then on to the honeymoon where the real fun began. I enjoyed it. The wedding sounded gorgeous.

BookwormAHN Also I'm working on the new schedule. There are new books that have been released but I'm also thinking of adding a legends book or two to the schedule. If anyone has any suggestions for the legends books let me know. 2y

103/150 Taking place between Return of The Jedi and The Force Awakens, it's been 17 years since the fall of the Empire. This story fills in the background of Rey and her parents and the Sith planet Exegol. Lando Calrissian and Luke Skywalker work well as a team, balancing serious against more light hearted characters, Lando is usually teamed with Han Solo and Chewbacca. I like the Jedi Master Luke much more than depressing hermit Luke.
