The Last Jedi

Star Wars: The Last Jedi by Jason Fry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Easiest 5 stars every. I am a huge Star Wars fans and loved the Last Jedi movie. I love this book even more then the movie. It does exactly what a book should adds to the story , adds to my Star Wars experience and great continuity between the books and the comics. Some people do not like having read other books/comics or play the game. I love this continuity. I am so glad Disney continued it when they took over the franchise.

From the intro the book starts with Luke having a Force dream telling him a change is coming. There are honorable mentions to people from the Aftermath series, and an incident that happened at the end of the aftermath comics. There is also a reference to the Inferno Squadron. The context of this is a bit confusing which could be hinting at things to come. They do also mention bits from Leia Princess of Alderaan.

The character development is also great I like the fact that Rose did not just forgive Finn for his attempted desertion. I saw her attitude change slightly along the way. Poe’s change from hot head fighter pilot to a leader is also better developed in the book. Finn’s journey is also done well. Remember he did not actually join the Rebellion in the Force Awakens, what he did he did to save Rey. This is carried on in the book. Remember the movies have a very little gap between the movies.

All in all a great addition to the Star Wars universe. I have heard there is an extended version of the movie when released on the Blu-ray I hope it is as good as this. I loved this book. I even like the extra 8 page of colour photos in the centre. The book is awesome and I would have loved it to be extended by another 200 pages. This is a must have for all Star Wars fans.
