NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • You are cordially invited to the wedding of Princess Leia Organa and Han Solo.
The Death Star is destroyed. Darth Vader is dead. The Empire is desolate. But on the forest moon of Endor, among the chaos of a changing galaxy, time stands still for a princess and her scoundrel.
After being frozen in carbonite, then risking everything for the Rebellion, Han is eager to stop living his life for other people. He and Leia have earned their future together, a thousand times over. And when he proposes to Leia, it’s the first time in a long time he’s had a good feeling about this. For Leia, a lifetime of fighting doesn’t seem truly over. There is work still to do, penance to pay for the dark secret that she now knows runs through her veins. Her brother, Luke, is offering her that chance—one that comes with family and the promise of the Force. But when Han asks her to marry him, Leia finds her answer immediately on her lips . . . Yes.
Yet happily ever after doesn’t come easily. As soon as Han and Leia depart their idyllic ceremony for their honeymoon, they find themselves on the grandest and most glamorous stage of all: the Halcyon, a luxury vessel on a very public journey to the most wondrous worlds in the galaxy. Their marriage, and the peace and prosperity it represents, are a lightning rod for all—including Imperial remnants still clinging to power.
Facing their most desperate hour, the soldiers of the Empire have dispersed across the galaxy, retrenching on isolated planets vulnerable to their influence. As the Halcyon travels from world to world, one thing becomes abundantly clear: The war is not over. But as danger draws closer, Han and Leia find that they fight their best battles not alone, but as husband and wife.

      This title has a frustrating incompleteness about it. The listener knows that much came before, and much will be resolved later. It seems that Anakin Skywalker's (aka Darth Vader's) grandson, Jedi Jason Solo, is being lured to the dark side of the Force-the Sith side. It's a family drama featuring most of the surviving central characters-Master Luke, Han, Leia, and their children. Reader Marc Thompson does not attempt to impersonate the characters, but rather to speak for them in their intonations and pacings and accents, but with his own well-controlled voice. As always, the sound effects-intercoms, light sabers, laser cannon, John Williams's music--are understated and highly effective. D.R.W. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine

      A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, two familiar rogues become embroiled in a quest to save civilization from certain doom. Marc Thompson, Daniel Jos� Older, and January LaVoy co-narrate a story that spans 20 years and 12 (or so) parsecs. Having three narrators helps to keep the story's three timelines distinct: Thompson narrates the bulk of the story, which takes place now, while Older narrates Han's flashbacks, and LaVoy narrates Lando's. Each narrator captures the personalities of the characters, with Thompson in particular doing near-perfect impressions of Han, Lando, and Chewbacca. The familiar sound effects and music add to the immersive experience, and, more importantly, capture all the excitement of seeing STAR WARS for the first time.

      After THE FORCE AWAKENS revitalized Star Wars and launched a new film trilogy, THE LAST JEDI arrived as the thoughtful, challenging second chapter. The novelization, and the audiobook in particular, further enriches the story. Top-notch production values, ambient sound effects, and the iconic orchestral music immediately immerse the listener in a galaxy far, far away. And Marc Thompson holds nothing back in his spirited narration. Amid the thrilling space battles, Thompson dials up the humor, emotion, and drama while expertly portraying the film's indelible characters. A curious exception is Finn, the stormtrooper turned rebel fighter, whose voice does not match his defiant personality. Overall, though, this production expands on the film and delivers hour after hour of delightful listening. A.T.N. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
