For every single response Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker provided while concluding the Skywalker Legend, it raised another concern. The dirty plot ended up being an important problem throughout the December 2019 release, however it might have been the finest sales pitch forRae Carson’s Episode 9 novelization, due on March 17 In the wake of The Rise of Skywalker, fans have actually been anxious to discover how the novelization would clarify some of the underdeveloped elements of thestory

.

While the book isn’t out yet, a couple of essential passages have actually currently sneakedonline It’s appealing to call these leakages, however that isn’t always precise: copies of the book were offered early to guests of C2E2. Photos of passages would undoubtedly go viral.

These early excerpts recommend there are a couple of things that Carson’s book makes clear– and in many cases more complicated. With the book still a couple of days away from release, here are the greatest things that we have actually found out about Star Wars canon thanks to the The Rise of Skywalker novelization.

The version of Palpatine we see in The Rise of Skywalker is simply a clone of the earlier former emperor. This may be the least unexpected, however crucial expose in the unique, a minimum of from the early excerpts. Cloning is a well recognized part of the Star Wars canon at this moment: There were whole clone wars, there was an attack including lots of clones, and there have actually even been a couple of tips that cloners have an interest in Infant Yoda on The Mandalorian. We likewise understand that Palpatine accepted cloning to grow Snoke bodies.

” Emperor Palpatine lived, after a style, and Kylo might feel in his really bones that this clone body protected the Emperor’s real spirit.”

It is a little unusual that he was able to … have a clone with his spirit, and it’s not absolutely clear why he would not choose a much better body to have. A clone Rey appears a bit more powerful than a clone Palpatine (however less identifiable, possibly). In either case, we understand that the Palpatine we see in Rise of Skywalker is the spirit of the character seen in Return of the Jedi now in a clonebody Palpatine clones were something that Star Wars Legends canon utilized regularly, however not something J.J. Abrams and co-writer Chris Terrio stated aloud in the script.

This opens a couple of possibilities with more cloning-centric plots in future Star Wars stories, however it likewise leaves the door open, a minimum of a little, for Palpatine to return– yet once again.

It states Palpatine didn’t even bang.

Speaking of Palpatine clones, obviously that’s precisely who Rey’s papa truly was. In his mission to make an ideal clone, Palpatine wound up with lots of declines. One of the clones, while practical, revealed no force ability at all, making it a frustration. Palpatine permitted the clone to endure so that it might bring on the Palpatine family. That clone was Rey’s papa.

” One hereditary strandcast lived. Prospered even. A not-quite-identical clone. His “child.” He was an ineffective, helpless failure. Palpatine might not even bear to consider such frustrating ordinariness. The young boy’s only worth would lay in continuing the family through more natural techniques.”

Now, this concept appears to break the real plot of the Rise of Skywalker movie, in which we’re informed that it was by option that Rey’s moms and dads ran away Palpatine. That was expected to be the whole factor we understood they were great individuals. We do not count “they offered you to safeguard you” as a redeeming quality here, sorry.

It’s likewise curious that Palpatine’s clone, who didn’t have force powers, would go on to have a kid that does have theforce Cloning force users can be incredibly tough, so Rey’s papa losing the force that the initial Palpatine had isn’t too unexpected. If the midi-chlorians didn’t endure the clone procedure then why would it reignite a generation later on with Rey? And if the midi-chlorians did endure the cloning procedure and Rey’s papa had them the entire time, then truly wasn’t the absence of force powers mainly a fault of Palpatine’s training? This is where bits of a book might not offer the whole brand-new( ish) idea.

The strangest expose of the Rise of Skywalker novelization sheds a little more light on the kiss that Rey and Ben shared at the end of the movie. In the movie version, after Ben utilizes all his strength to recover Rey, they share a kiss in the quick minute they’re both alive. The very same fundamental occasions take place in the unique, however obviously it clarifies that the kiss was not, in reality, romantic.

” His [Ben’s] heart was full as Rey grabbed his face, let her fingers stick around versus his cheek. And after that, marvel of marvels, she leaned forward and kissed him. A kiss of appreciation, recognition of their connection, event that they ‘d discovered each other at last.”

It’s not truly clear what the intent here is, however it absolutely feels needlessly indicate to the Reylos. Ben’s currently dead. Sorry, Reylos.

Finn is Force delicate

This isn’t precisely news, however the book did make this canon. In the Rise of Skywalker movie, Finn invests the whole movie attempting to inform Rey a secret, however he never ever does. We learnt after the movie, thanks to different interviews, that Finn desired to inform her that he’s Force delicate. In the book that’s made a bit more specific … however not by much.

“The minute Rey returned to herself, Finn understood.”

Sadly, do not hold your breath for a Disney Plus series to expand Finn’s arc in thefuture “You ain’t going to Disney Plus me!” John Boyega told Range after being pitched the possibility.

Rey is enjoying a dawn on Tatooine

This does not inform us much about the story, however it is a great conclusion to Rey’s thematic arc. After she informs the nosey old lady on Tatooine that her brand-new name is Rey Skywalker, Rey turns to leave, however stops briefly simply enough time to see Tatooine’s twin suns. When Luke himself views and turns the 2 suns set, in the movie this parallels the minute in A Brand-new Hope. Thanks to the unique, we understand that these suns are in fact increasing on a brand-new day. That’s good.
