The Star Wars saga is set to expand beyond *The Rise of Skywalker* with a new adventure that doesn't come from Shawn Levy, but rather from the pages of a young adult novel. Titled *Star Wars: The Last Order*, this book promises to delve into the aftermath of the 2019 film, offering fans a fresh narrative to explore. Written by Kwame Mbalia and revealed by Penguin Random House, *Star Wars: The Last Order* will focus on the beloved characters Finn, played by John Boyega, and Jannah, portrayed by Naomi Ackie, as they navigate the post-Rise of Skywalker universe.
The official synopsis teases an exciting plot where, following the events of *The Rise of Skywalker*, the Resistance undertakes a mission to rescue a ship filled with kidnapped young passengers from the clutches of the First Order. As Finn and Jannah embark on a quest to track down the responsible First Order officer, they confront their own histories as former stormtroopers, wrestling with the complexities of their pasts under the oppressive regime. This novel marks a significant milestone as the first Star Wars project to explore the universe after *The Rise of Skywalker*, even if it wasn't the first planned project to do so.
While fans eagerly await Shawn Levy's *Star Wars: Starfighter*, which is slated for release on May 28, 2027, and will star Ryan Gosling, *Star Wars: The Last Order* offers an earlier glimpse into the future of the Star Wars universe. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has confirmed that Levy's film will be a standalone story set five to six years after the events of the ninth film. Jonathan Tropper, the writer attached to the project, has expressed his enthusiasm, hinting that the film may arrive sooner than anticipated.
Scheduled for release on October 21, 2025, *Star Wars: The Last Order* will be a must-read for fans looking to continue their journey in the Star Wars universe before Levy's film hits the screens. Meanwhile, the excitement builds for the myriad of upcoming Star Wars movies and TV shows, promising a rich tapestry of storytelling in the galaxy far, far away.
