desertcart.com: The Rise of Skywalker: Expanded Edition (Star Wars) (Audible Audio Edition): Marc Thompson, Rae Carson, Random House Audio: Books

Review: Finally, Insight into Kylo Ren! - *Spoilers Ahead-If you've already seen the move, feel free to read on.* I never really cared before about the Star Wars universe until The Force Awakens introduced me to the character of Kylo Ren. Some out there hate him because he's too "emo", but I think that's exactly what makes him so incredibly interesting. He's not the stereotypical Big Baddie sitting on a throne, twirling his mustache and laughing maniacally, being evil just for the sake of being evil (there are already many characters like that). No, he's a real person who feels inner conflict about the things he does, and you feel for him because of that struggle. The whole reason I read all three novels is that I wanted to dive more into his head, but I was disappointed that the first two novels only give rare snippets of insight into Kylo's inner workings and mostly take insight from Rey's perspective. However, this book is fantastic in that while Kylo is questing and engaging with other characters, it gives his inner dialogue, so you can now know his true motivations and thought process throughout. It also does the same for Rey and a bit for the secondary characters as well. Fans will also be glad to know that the novel explains how Palpatine is still alive, how he was able to have a "son", how Kylo survives falling into that crevice, how Kylo is able to get off Kef Bir when Rey steals his TIE, more details about Zorii Bliss, and other things I'm forgetting. There are also added or extended scenes that help flesh out the fast paced movie. Of course, as a Kylo Ren fan, I was incensed watching the movie when Ben Solo found the light and gave up his life force for Rey, only to have Rey look sad for two seconds as he fades into the Force, and then goes on with her life as if he never existed. In the book, it gives a more satisfying conclusion to the scene where Ben loses his life and shows that Rey does acknowledge the pain of his loss, the importance of his life and his place as her other half (dyad). So, if you enjoyed The Rise of Skywalker movie and are looking for more inner dialogue from characters and a few more detailed scenes, this is the book for you! It was my favorite of the three sequel novelizations; my only complaint is at 247 pages, it was too short!
Review: Star Wars nerd approved. - Loving this book so far. It tells so much more of the ROS story that movies leave out. It expands on the knights of Ren and their impact in the movie. Plus each supporting character has additional backstory provided in the readings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally, Insight into Kylo Ren!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Slightly Improves the Movie
*by C***N on December 11, 2020*

Let's state up front, I liked TROS (Episode IX). I didn't love it, and I wasn't keen about the direction it took amid all options, but since it's what we got, I thought it was a nice, fun theatrical experience and better than the prequels. Novelizations tend to help with flawed movies, and this is no exception. If a movie has dangling plot points or ideas that seem incomplete, they will often find explanation in the pages of the novelization. This is certainly true of this book. Rae Carson shows most of her skill handling the internal struggles of all our key players, Rey, Kylo Ren, Finn, Poe, and Leia and delving into the more 2 dimensional characters from the film such as Palpatine, Pryde, and Hux. Added context is also given to questions such as the all important "How did Palpatine survive?" or even the crucial "What did Finn never tell Rey"? A key addition is the (presumably cut) scene of the Eye of Webbish Bog. It conjures really cool mental images and makes you wish it hadn't been cut. All the improvements are helpful and well presented, but leave the story generally where it was to begin with, meaning a lot of the bigger picture questions will have to be answered in future stories. It is certainly well written, and great for fans of the Star Wars movies. If you're a fan who regularly rewatches the Skywalker Saga, it should definitely enhance your future watching
