It might seem like a big deal that Luke knew about Emperor Palpatine’s secret Sith planet before it showed up in The Rise of Skywalker, but if you look carefully, that’s not the biggest shock. This new book, written by Adam Christopher, is set to illuminate some of Luke’s questing.Īhead of the book’s June release, released an excerpt in which Luke seems to come face-to-face with the Force ghost of his father, Anakin Skywalker, on the surface of Exegol.

We know that at some point before the sequel trilogy, Luke Skywalker was combing the galaxy for all sorts of Sith and Jedi artifacts.

Set in 21 ABY about 12 years after The Mandalorian and 13 years before The Force Awakens, Shadow of the Sith reveals the adventures Luke had with Lando Calrissian, which previously were only hinted at in The Rise of Skywalker. Here’s what this new Luke Skywalker story might mean and how it raises more questions than it answers. And it has everything to do with a pivotal scene from The Mandalorian Season 2. An excerpt released by is mostly focused on connecting pre- Force Awakens Luke with Exegol, but the way he gets there is more important. In a forthcoming new Star Wars novel called Shadow of the Sith, the big reveal is that Luke manages to get to that super-secret Sith planet Exegol - but not the way you think. "Star Wars" fans will notice the words are said in a different order.Luke Skywalker has returned to the planet where Baby Yoda sent out an SOS. but you cannot control it." In "Empire Strikes Back," Kenobi says these words to a young Luke Skywalker who wants to go after and save his friends Han and Leia from Darth Vader. In "The Force Awakens" Kenobi says, "You will be tempted. Obi-Wan Kenobi's "You will be tempted" line Young Obi-Wan: "These are your first steps." Old Obi-Wan : ".But you cannot control it." Old Obi-Wan Kenobi : "You will be tempted." The only one we haven't been able to discern is a line from Obi-Wan Kenobi.

We've added the time stamp from the movie for you to listen closely to if you give the scene another watch. Here's all of the dialogue together for easy reading.
