Luke Skywalker might no longer be around but that doesn't mean that the adventures of the Jedi Master are over. The new novel Star Wars: Shadow of the Sith follows Luke as he reunites with an old friend from the original trilogy films and faces off against a villain who was introduced in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker!
StarWars.com has shared the cover art for Adam Christopher's new book Star Wars: Shadow of the Sith which was illustrated by Juan Esteban R. and features Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian along with The Rise of Skywalker villain Ochi of Bestoon. Check it out below.
In addition to the stunning cover art, StarWars.com shared an excerpt from the novel which takes place between the events in Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. You can read the excerpt here.
The description for Star Wars: Shadow of the Sith reads as follows:
"Jedi Master Luke Skywalker is haunted by visions of the dark side, foretelling an ominous secret growing somewhere in the depths of space, on a dead world called Exegol. The disturbance in the Force is undeniable and Luke’s worst fears are confirmed when his old friend Lando Calrissian comes to him with reports of a new Sith menace."
It's interesting to note that the book could also lead Luke Skywalker to Rey, who is set to be his future pupil. In addition to that, Ochi's return is expected to be a big one considering that the villain played an important role in tracking down Rey for Emperor Palpatine in The Rise of Skywalker. With that in mind, this is a novel to look forward to later this year.
Star Wars: Shadow of the Moon is now available for pre-order. The novel will be released on June 28, 2022.
