For decades, one of the biggest stories that has never been told in Star Wars has been Leia Organa's journey as a Jedi. The announcement also arrives at an interesting moment for Star Wars publishing. Star Wars: Legacy, which is set between Star Wars: The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, follows Leia as she attempts to mentor Rey. Fortunately, Twin Crossroads looks like it's ready to deliver the next best thing, and for longtime Star Wars fans, that's a journey well worth taking. The novel is scheduled to hit shelves in April 2027 as part of Star Wars' 50th anniversary celebration.
