Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Written with input from director Rian Johnson, this official adaptation of Star Wars: The Last Jedi expands on the film to include scenes from alternate versions of the script and other additional content.
From the ashes of the Empire has arisen another threat to the galaxy's freedom: the ruthless First Order. Fortunately, new heroes have emerged to take up arms—and perhaps lay down their lives—for the cause. Rey, the orphan strong in the Force; Finn, the ex-stormtrooper who stands against his former masters; and Poe Dameron, the fearless X-wing pilot, have been drawn together to fight side-by-side with General Leia Organa and the Resistance. But the First Order's Supreme Leader Snoke and his merciless enforcer Kylo Ren are adversaries with superior numbers and devastating firepower at their command. Against this enemy, the champions of light may finally be facing their extinction. Their only hope rests with a lost legend: Jedi Master Luke Skywalker.
Where the action of Star Wars: The Force Awakens ended, Star Wars: The Last Jedi begins, as the battle between light and dark climbs to astonishing new heights.
Featuring thrilling photos from the hit movie.

The Last Jedi 5⭐️❤️ The most recent of the Star Wars saga movies. This book is an expanded edition of the movie, so there was more detail, and right at the beginning with what I thought was Luke Skywalker and his wife. But no, that’s Jason Fry’s addition to the story of what he thinks Luke did while he was isolated on the island. The women in this series is what impressed me the most! This is the second Star Wars book I read. I read Rogue One because I really liked how they made the women become such a stronger character than in the past movies. Star Wars The Force Awakens was good too. But The Last Jedi really awed me with so many awesome women... and other great characters too. Princess Leia is no longer a princess but a General now, like my sister’s favorite quote “I've lived to see my childhood Princesses become generals” (Robin Wright from The Princess Bride to General Antiope in Wonder Woman, and now Leia). There is new characters too, Rose being one of my favorites. I really enjoyed reading this novel and will be working on reading the other books in this saga (not including the movie stuff from the 90s which we need not even think of).
