Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Witness the epic final chapter of the Skywalker saga with the official novelisation of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, including expanded scenes and additional content not seen in theatres!

The Resistance has been reborn. The spark of rebellion is rekindling across the galaxy. 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.

Rey, Finn, Poe and the Resistance must embark on the most perilous adventure they have ever faced. And this time, they’re facing it together. With the help of old friends, new allies and the mysterious guidance of the Force, the story that began in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and continued in Star Wars: The Last Jedi reaches an astounding conclusion.

Marc Thompson is magnificent

I loved this. I haven't watched the film since it came out as I genuinely found it so emotional, and the novelisation is too! However, being able to go deeper into the characters' psyches, and to have the memories of my beloved original characters running throughout was wonderful. Marc Thompson's reading is pure genius; the voices of the characters are utterly flawless. I'm so in awe that I think I'll be getting any audiobooks he reads from now on! Thankfully, there are a ton of Star Wars ones!

Fantastic Adaptation

This is a fantastic adaption and adds so much to the movie itself - not to be missed.

In-depth

The audible version runs and sounds like the movie, but with a few bits more of the characters thought processes and how they were feeling, what they were thinking at certain moments.
I’ve enjoyed listening to this very much

Great Book!

The audio for Chewbacca was dreadful and I cringed every time I heard it. Other than that it’s a good audio book!!

A must read for those who were left with questions

Rae Carson has managed answer some of the questions that the film left open or vague but as to he story has to remain the same cannot fix the overall somewhat disappointing ending to the Skywalker saga. Marc Thompson's performance is exceptional as always. his narration is always great but it his mimicry which his outstanding. Every character is immediately recognisable as their screen counterpart from Kylo Ren to his spookily accurate Leia.
