TLJ novel tidbits part 2. • r/StarWarsLeaks

His scraggly appearance didn’t trouble Rey. He was still a Jedi and could teach her more about her special talents, which she could not control or comprehend by herself. And he could save the Resistance from the First Order, as he had saved the Rebellion from the Empire. The galaxy needed Luke Skywalker to return. But when he tossed his old lightsaber over the cliff without saying a word, Rey felt all her hopes fall with it.

The Last Jedi, A Junior Novel by Michael Kogge

So unlike with the TFA novelization the director and author of TLJ actually met up and exchanged ideas instead of just shoving a script at the author like they did with ADF

It was baaad. But ADF did give us some classic gems though: “Alone in the room, Kylo Ren— saturnine of aspect, lithe of build, tortured of mien, and troubled of eye—gazed at the silent recipient of his confession.”  😂

It’s an absolute classic and I’ll have no one disparage it! Remember Kylo spouting poetry to mitaka? Beautiful.

ADF’s novelization is so iconic no shade

The caped figure did not turn. He did not have to. Mitaka knew Ren was as aware of his arrival as if he had watched him approach. He was tracking the lieutenant with something other than eyes.

“Something to report, Lieutenant? Or have you come, like myself, to marvel at the view?”

“Sir?”

A gloved hand rose to take in the sweep of light and energy arrayed before them. “Look at it, Lieutenant. So much beauty among so much turmoil. In a way, we are but an infinitely smaller reflection of the same conflict. It is the task of the First Order to remove the disorder from our own existence, so that civilization may be returned to the stability that promotes progress. A stability that existed under the Empire, was reduced to anarchy by the Rebellion, was inherited in turn by the so-called Republic, and will be restored by us. Future historians will look upon this as the time when a strong hand brought the rule of law back to civilization.”

kylo is a poet and a scholar, we been knew. ADF knew what was up.
