The book travels faster than Han Solo on his famous Kessel run its strange that the pace of the book easily matches and overtakes the movie. And yet such a pivotal and potentially emotional point in the film version of the story was simply glossed over, which is a damn shame.įor those familiar with the movie, the point at which Luke regains his link to the force wasnt given any emphasis, but in the book its truly pivotal. The scene where fate gives Rey the unenviable task of explaining to Luke exactly what happened to Han is arguably one of the saddest scenes in the history of science fiction.

There is little to no humour in the story, and yet ironically, there’s plenty of sadness. All of this is brilliantly described by Mr Jason Fry. The writing of the tech is brilliant, especially the military might of the First Order. The pure manipulative genius of Snoke, too and his hold over Kylo is revealed, and that is a great part of the book. Hints at the depth of the relationship between two of the most famous siblings the galaxy has ever seen are a joy to behold. Hints at what the force is actually is, too, make incredible reading. Glimspes of what lies inside the mind of not just a Jedi, and not just a Jedi Master, but *the* one and only Jedi Master, Luke Skywalker, are enough to leave the reader breathless. As a work of star wars canon, it too, excels. As a novelisation it does the unthinkable: it actually improves on the story telling experience found in the movie. I am tempted to agree.ĪND TO GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT: This book is stunning in so many ways its hard to describe. Some readers might say its close to one of the all time great star wars books. And even beyond, if you are feeling brave. TO USE A STAR TREK VERNACULAR, the novelisation of Episode VIII goes boldly further than any star wars novelisation has taken you before.
