Rey Returns in Stunning Final Jedi Sequel After 6 Years

A brand new Audible story, set after Star Wars: The Final Jedi, will inform the primary new Rey story in six years. The sequel trilogy period has been largely unexplored since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker‘s launch in 2019, with current comics lastly telling Kylo Ren’s story between The Final Jedi and his loss of life. Now, Rey is about to get the identical therapy.

Lucasfilm Press has introduced a brand new Star Wars audiobook, “The Jaws of Jakku,” which can launch on Audible on October 9. Written by Cavan Scott and that includes narration by Helen Sadler, it is set within the speedy aftermath of The Final Jedi. This is the official synopsis:

Following the occasions of The Final Jedi, Rey struggles to let go of her lonely childhood on the desert planet of Jakku. Hoping to have a breakthrough in her Jedi coaching, she returns to her dwelling world with Finn and BB-8 in tow. After they meet a younger lady on a harmful mission to save lots of her household, they journey via pitch-black tunnels beneath the sand the place they encounter scurrying gnaw-jaws, a haunting terror from the previous, and possibly—simply possibly—hope for all of them.

Pre-order The Jaws of Jakku from Audible

Writing in his publication, Cavan Scott teased that that is an uncommon story; it is informed within the first particular person by a younger lady on Jakku, somebody with first-hand expertise of the desert planet’s most well-known resident. You may take heed to a completely pleasant preview over on Audible.

Star Wars Is Lastly Telling Rey’s Lacking Story

The sequel trilogy did not precisely land as deliberate, and Lucasfilm has since been reluctant to discover that a part of the Star Wars timeline. All that modified with this yr’s Star Wars: Legacy of Vader sequence, by Charles Soule, Nolan Woodard, and Luke Ross. This ongoing sequence is ready after The Final Jedi, and it is telling Kylo Ren’s story.

That naturally led to intense hypothesis about whether or not Rey would obtain the identical therapy. There is a largely-unexplored yr between The Final Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, by which Rey started to coach as a Jedi underneath Princess Leia. However “The Jaws of Jakku” is taking a moderately sudden route – one which may be fairly vital.

Rey’s Return To Jakku May Assist Set Up Palpatine’s Return

Jakku is much more vital than most viewers understand. Chuck Wendig’s “Aftermath” trilogy revealed the planet was one in every of Palpatine’s hidden observatories, and there have been even hints Palpatine loyalists tried to carry out a ritual that will resurrect him there. It is fully potential Rey will come across clues to Palpatine’s Rise of Skywalker return.

Star Wars could have largely averted the sequel period since 2019, however tie-ins have gone to nice effort to repair Palpatine’s resurrection into the canon and lore. Rey’s sudden Star Wars: The Final Jedi sequel may effectively be one other step alongside that journey.
