As with every other movie in the franchise, Star Wars: Episode 8 – The Last Jedi will also get a novelization and a comic book. Both of them will offer to the reader exclusive experience in the form of added scenes and events that had to be cut from the movie as well as brand new scenes, like Han Solo’s Funeral, for example.
The novelization is scheduled to be released very soon, on 6th March. It’s written by Jason Fry. You should recognize that name. In fact you are likely familiar with some of his other creations like Rogue One Secret Mission, Moving Target and Bomber Squad for example.
From the ashes of the Empire has arisen another threat to the galaxy’s freedom: the ruthless First Order. Fortunately, new heroes have emerged to take up arms—and perhaps lay down their lives—for the cause. Rey, the orphan strong in the Force; Finn, the ex-stormtrooper who stands against his former masters; and Poe Dameron, the fearless X-wing pilot, have been drawn together to fight side-by-side with General Leia Organa and the Resistance. But the First Order’s Supreme Leader Snoke and his merciless enforcer Kylo Ren are adversaries with superior numbers and devastating firepower at their command. Against this enemy, the champions of light may finally be facing their extinction. Their only hope rests with a lost legend: Jedi Master Luke Skywalker.
Recently Disney and Marvel announced also the adaptation of The Last Jedi in the form of comic books. The miniseries will include 6 issues. The story has been adapted by Rogue One screenwriter Gary Whitta. The first issue is expected on 2nd May 2018.
