We’ve been waiting a long time to see more of Rey. The heroine of the Star Wars sequel trilogy has been waiting patiently for her next adventure in a galaxy far, far away and, with her upcoming film in the works, we were waiting for a big update. Wlel, now we have it as Daisy Ridley‘s most famous role is fnally getting her next story.
Written by Madeleine Roux, Star Wars: Legacy, a new novel, arrives on July 28 and takes place between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. It finds Rey still reeling from Luke Skywalker’s death, with the Resistance trying to rebuild after the Battle of Crait and Rey’s lightsaber causing one or two issues for her, since it’s, you know, broken.
In the wake of Luke’s death, Leia Organa is doing her best to continue Rey’s Jedi training but it’s fair to say that neither of them are in the best place mentally or spiritually. Rey continually has concerns about where she belongs, Leia’s Jedi knowledge is limited at best, and the two of them remain tormented by the presence of Kylo Ren, for very different reasons.
What’s ‘Star Wars: Legacy’ About?
Rey and Leia set off for Tython after ancient Jedi texts point them toward a long-forgotten temple that may hold the key to repairing Rey’s lightsaber, but wouldn’t you know it, the trip soon turns into much more than a repair job. Turns out the temple is chock-full of dangerous trials for them to overcome, long-buried mysteries and a First Order officer busy hunting for refugees. Sounds a bit like a Tomb Raider game, actually.
The book is also promising that it’s going to dig a lot more deeply into the mentor and student bond between Leia and Rey. That relationship was central to The Rise of Skywalker, but for obvious reasons it was difficult to show that relationship off properly given that one of the actors was no longer with us. Being able to write a story about the duo should give it a lot more depth.
Roux has said the novel gets inside the heads of Rey, Leia, and Kylo Ren, while introducing new characters and expanding on Captain Wolstenholme, a First Order figure previously glimpsed in Marvel’s Age of Resistance material.
Star Wars: Legacy arrives July 28.
