A New Star Wars E-book Will Give Finn the Highlight

This weekend is Star Wars Day, and a method Lucasfilm is celebrating the event is the announcement of a brand new ebook. Not like more moderen ones set across the Original Trilogy, this one takes us to the Sequel zone—particularly, to Finn.

Based on a latest Penguin Random House posting, the ex-Stormtrooper performed by John Boyega within the movies would be the lead in The Final Order. Written by Kwame Mbalia (Tristan Robust Punches a Gap within the Sky), the YA ebook will see Finn and Jannah from Rise of Skywalker seek out a First Order officer answerable for kidnapping youngsters to transform them into future troopers. Throughout their journey to search out this particular person, the pair will “wrestle with their very own sophisticated pasts  as troopers of the oppressive regime.”

If it’s been awhile because you’ve seen Rise, that film ended with a tease of Jannah (Naomi Ackie) and Lando teaming up with Lando to search out her household. It’s by no means been clear if Lucasfilm ever meant to observe by on that with Lando’s in-flux film/TV present, however that thread might proceed right here, ditto Finn’s personal previous. Recall he’s the one member of Star Wars’ sequel trio whose backstory wasn’t fleshed out like Rey and Poe’s. If that is the best way to take out two birds with one stone, and in addition give an thought of the place Finn’s at together with his Force training, we’re all for it.

Based on Penguin’s itemizing, Star Wars: The Final Order releases October 21.
