While anticipation builds for Shawn Levy's upcoming Star Wars film, Star Wars: Starfighter, fans won't have to wait quite as long to delve back into the galaxy far, far away. A new young adult novel titled Star Wars: The Last Order is set to explore the aftermath of The Rise of Skywalker, offering a fresh perspective on the universe.
Published by Penguin Random House, Star Wars: The Last Order promises to take readers deeper into the lives of beloved characters Finn and Jannah, portrayed by John Boyega and Naomi Ackie, respectively, in The Rise of Skywalker. The novel, penned by Kwame Mbalia, is set to follow the Resistance's rescue of a ship full of kidnapped children, with Finn and Jannah embarking on a mission to stop the First Order officer responsible. As they navigate their quest, the duo confronts their own complex histories as former stormtroopers.
*Star Wars: The Last Order* stands as the first project to delve into the post-*Rise of Skywalker* era, though it's not the first planned venture in this timeline. Shawn Levy's *Star Wars: Starfighter*, a standalone story set five to six years after the events of the ninth film, is still eagerly awaited by fans. In a February interview with Deadline, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy emphasized that Levy's film would expand the *Star Wars* timeline post-*The Rise of Skywalker*. Jonathan Tropper, the writer for *Starfighter*, recently expressed his excitement to Screen Rant, hinting that the film might arrive sooner than expected. Furthermore, the project's release date was confirmed as May 28, 2027, with Ryan Gosling set to star, announced during Star Wars Celebration Japan.Every Upcoming Star Wars Movie and TV Show
