A story featuring Jyn and Saw? Please, take my money NOW!
A new Star Wars Book will be released soon, telling the story of Jyn Erso from Rogue One A Star Wars Story. It will bridge the gap between the novel Catalyst and the movie, telling the backstory of the character from these years, when she was adopted and trained by Saw Gerrera, the Rebel extremist.
I can’t say if it’s a bad thing that Rebel Rising will be labeled as “young adult” (age 12+). Hopefully New York Times best selling author Beth Revis can pull it off and present a compelling plot and well told story. It spreads on 416 pages. The release is scheduled for 2nd May 2017.
This is the official description of the upcoming novel:
When Jyn Erso was five years old, her mother was murdered and her father taken from her to serve the Empire. But despite the loss of her parents she is not completely alone—Saw Gerrera, a man willing to go to any extremes necessary in order to resist Imperial tyranny, takes her in as his own, and gives her not only a home but all the abilities and resources she needs to become a rebel herself.
Jyn dedicates herself to the cause—and the man. But fighting alongside Saw and his people brings with it danger and the question of just how far Jyn is willing to go as one of Saw’s soldiers. When she faces an unthinkable betrayal that shatters her world, Jyn will have to pull the pieces of herself back together and figure out what she truly believes in…and who she can really trust.
The book is available for Pre-Order in hardcover and e-book formats. Another Rogue One Prequel is coming this May too – Guardians of the Whills.
