EPISODE VIII: REY THE PROTECTOR!

Alone but formidable, Rey goes on a war footing!

Ready to protect the lives of the humble Ahch-To island Caretakers, Rey rushes to their shore dwellings, heeding Luke Skywalker's words to her that the innocent creatures will soon be receiving a visitation. But is all what it seems? And has Luke told her the whole truth?

A deleted scene from The Last Jedi that will not only be appearing on the film's Blu-ray/4K release (expected at the end of March), but also appearing in the pages of the equally-awaited book adaptation from STAR WARS writing veteran Jason Fry, available in UK hardback from CENTURY this March 8th, 2018. (Available in the US from March 6th, 2018).

Rey's relationship with Luke seems more fragile than ever in this tense deleted scene.

But this will be more than just a novelization. Exciting news from LUCAS BOOKS:

**Written with input from director Rian Johnson, the official novelisation of Star Wars: The Last Jedi expands on the film to include scenes from alternate versions of the script and other additional content**

" It has been announced that The Last Jedi official novelisation will be an ‘expanded edition'. In an interview with The Star Wars Show, Rian Johnson revealed that he helped New York Times bestselling author Jason Fry develop "some interesting deleted scenes from the film.”

"Rian Johnson and I had an amazing conversation," says Jason Fry. "We got to write entirely new scenes for the book: Han Solo's funeral, Rose and Paige Tico together, and further explorations of the fascinating world of Canto Bight, to name just a few."
