Resistance Reborn (Star Wars) Paperback – August 25, 2020
Purchase options and add-ons
The Resistance is in ruins. In the wake of their harrowing escape from Crait, what was once an army has been reduced to a handful of wounded heroes. Finn, Poe, Rey, Rose, Chewbacca, Leia Organa—their names are famous among the oppressed worlds they fight to liberate. But names can only get you so far, and Leia’s last desperate call for aid has gone unanswered.
From the jungles of Ryloth to the shipyards of Corellia, the shadow of the First Order looms large, and those with the bravery to face the darkness are scattered and isolated. If hope is to survive, the Resistance must journey throughout the galaxy, seeking out more leaders—including those who, in days gone by, helped a nascent rebellion topple an empire. Battles will be fought, alliances will be forged, and the Resistance will be reborn.

About the Author
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Leia jerked awake, her head snapping back against the rough fabric of the headrest. Her hands grasped for purchase in the armless chair as she tried to keep herself from falling. She cried out, a small startled breath in the otherwise empty room, as her fingers clasped around the edge of the console table. It took her a moment for her senses to come back to her and for her to remember where she was. The low hum of machinery and the distant clank of someone doing repairs, even at this odd hour, told her she was on the Millennium Falcon. Not on the Raddus, during the First Order’s attack, when she had felt the presence of her son nearby. Not in the cold darkness of space into which she had been flung immediately after.
She had been dreaming just now. The same dream that had plagued her since it happened. She was alone, cold, her body failing, her spirit lost, surrounded by the vast emptiness of space. In real life she had woken, and the Force had flared hot and alive in her. And it had brought her back, guided her to safety. But in the dream, she stayed suspended in the void. Failing her friends, her family, and the people she had vowed to lead. Failing her son most of all. Everyone she loved, dead.
“When did I get so morbid?” she muttered to herself, pushing her aching body upright in her chair. She knew when. Since she had died. Well, almost died. She’d had plenty of close calls in her life. The bombing during her senatorial days back on Hosnian Prime. The torture session with Vader that even now, decades later, spiked her adrenaline and set her on edge when even the barest hint of that memory surfaced. A million narrow escapes with Han back in the days of the Rebellion. But nothing quite like being blasted out of that ship, drifting through space alone.
She rubbed a tired hand over her face, looking around. It had been a long few days since Chewie and Rey had shown up on Crait to rescue them from the First Order. Since she had seen her brother again and lost him just as quickly. She wondered how much she was supposed to suffer in a single lifetime, how much exactly one person could take. But then she put that indulgent self-pitying moment away. She had work to do.
The communications console of the Millennium Falcon was laid out before her, silent as space itself. When she had called for aid on Crait, sending out her distress signal to her allies, she was sure someone would respond. But they had not, and that fact still shook her. Were they alive? Was her signal being blocked? Or—the answer she least wanted to contemplate—did they just not care?
No, she wouldn’t believe that. Couldn’t. Something had happened that prevented her calls from reaching friendly ears. That made more sense than believing she and the Resistance had been so thoroughly abandoned. She would figure out what went wrong, and until then, she would keep trying.
She reached for the communications rig just as the speaker in her headphones buzzed to life and a green light blinked, signaling that a transmission was waiting. Her heart ticked up in anticipation. Someone was trying to reach the Millennium Falcon. She slid the headphones on, adjusting the mike as static rained through the connection. Without the sensor dish, the Falcon’s subspace radio signal was scratchy at best.
She punched in the encryption code, opening the channel to whoever was on the other end and had known the code as well.
“Hello?” she whispered anxiously into the mike. “Who is this?”
At first, all she got was more static, but then the voice resolved, faint but getting stronger. “. . . Zay with Shriv . . . mission . . . remember me?”
A small flutter of defeat flickered in Leia’s stomach. She had hoped it would be one of the Resistance allies, a powerful government offering refuge or ships or other aid. But it was the girl she had met directly after the destruction of Starkiller Base, the daughter of Iden Versio and Del Meeko. She remembered Zay well. Her parents had both been Imperials-turned-rebels, her grandfather the notorious Admiral Garrick Versio. The girl had lost both parents, had already been through so much at so young an age. Well, hadn’t they all? Leia certainly had. It was the nature of war, to put its children through hell, to murder their parents.
“Stop!” she told herself loudly, her voice echoing around the room.
“What?” Zay asked, through the static.
“Not you,” Leia said hastily. “I didn’t mean you.” How embarrassing. Leia shook off her malaise and pressed the headphone to her ear, leaning into the mike. “Say it again, Zay. I’m having trouble hearing you. You’re breaking up.”
“Oh.” And then louder and slower. “SHRIV AND I . . . HAVE GOTTEN . . . SOME PROMISING LEADS . . . ?”
Leia smiled good-naturedly at the girl’s exaggerated overcorrection. “I can hear you fine now. Speak normally.”
“Oh yeah? So, we tracked down some old friends of my mother who were Imperials but have renounced and have no love for the First Order. We’re going to pay them a visit, if that’s okay with you. It will take another three or four standard days, at least.”
“What happened to the Resistance allies I asked you to find?”
“That’s the distressing thing,” Zay said. “They’re all gone.”
“Gone?”
“Or at least they’re not where they should be. We’ve hit over half the names you gave us and found nothing. In some cases, whole homes just abandoned.”
“Maybe they’ve gone into hiding.” Or worse.
“Whatever it is, General, something bad is happening.”
Leia rubbed her neck, feeling the tension locked in her muscles. More allies out of reach. Zay was right. Something was happening, and it scared Leia, too.
“Zay, I want you to keep looking. Find out what you can.”
“Copy. And the ex-Imperials?”
Leia hadn’t imagined ex-Imperials would be the allies she needed, but it looked like their options were thinning. And who knew? Zay’s mother proved that some of the fiercest rebel fighters out there had once been on the other side. People were complicated, and if there was one thing the Empire had been good at it was offering people what they thought they needed—only for them to find out that the peace and order they desired came at too high a price. Leia would never hold someone’s past against them. She had enough demons in her family tree to guarantee she was not one to judge.
On the other end, Leia heard muttering and muffled arguing, as if someone had placed their hand over the mike. After a moment, Zay came back.
“Shriv says you should trust us. After all, what could go wrong?”
What, indeed? “All right, if Shriv agrees that the ex-Imperial leads are solid, go ahead and extend your mission. But be careful. There’s . . . it’s not safe to go up against the First Order.” Like the girl with the dead mother didn’t know that.
“Not a problem, General. We’ll use caution.”
More muffled muttering. “Oh, and Shriv says ‘Careful’ is his middle name. Plus, he’s not dead yet, so somebody or something out there must be looking out for us.”
“Yes,” Leia said quietly to herself, and then into the mike, “May the Force be with you, Inferno Squad.”
“Same to you. Over and out!”
Leia pressed the button to end her connection and leaned back. She hoped she hadn’t given the girl too much responsibility too soon. Zay couldn’t be many years older than sixteen, but at sixteen Leia was already fomenting the Rebellion. If anyone knew that youth could be underestimated, it was her. No, Zay was strong, smart. Capable. And with Shriv as a steadying force, she trusted they’d complete the mission.
A sharp pain in her temple brought Leia’s thoughts up short. She squeezed her eyes shut in sudden agony. These headaches were a side effect of the healing process, the medical droid had said. She was to expect them to last for a few weeks, but between the headaches, the nightmares of being lost in space, and the grief of losing her friends and family, Leia was exhausted. What she wouldn’t give for just a moment of relaxation, of safety; a few days or even a handful of hours of knowing everything would be all right.

The book taken by its own merits is fantastic (hence the five stars). It starts where “The Last Jedi” ended, a broken Resistance looking to regroup, rebuild, and return. It draws upon previous novels, comic books, and even the “Fallen Order” and “Battlefield 2” video games to present a vivid cast of characters who work and fight against the forces of the First Order and manage to bring in interesting new characters both old and new.
But none of those characters or relationships are in “The Rise of Skywalker”. I strained during scenes of the Resistence to see now familiar faces, maybe I wouldn’t know exactly what Nasz would look like in the crowd, in the book she is described powerfully and as a powerful woman but humans all look alike, but Shriv is a Duro and not in any scenes in the movie. And although Snap is in the movie, nothing about his parents and their reaction to...
Yeah, that’s kind of it. Don’t read this book like I did as a prelude to “The Rise of Skywalker”, there is nothing in this book that has to do with the movie. It like a good Legends book, it’s still Star Wars and maybe feels more Star Wars than some of the movies but doesn’t have anything to do with the movie that it’s supposed to tie into. I gave the book five stars, it is well written, well paced, enjoyable. The book shouldn’t be punished for the publisher advertising it as “the journey to the rise of Skywalker”.
But that’s not what the book is, and the movie is a little poorer for it.
⠀
But I kept up with the book, and was quickly proven wrong, as once the story well and truly kicks in it hits you like a jump to hyperspace.⠀
⠀
Resistance Reborn takes places just after The Last Jedi, and before The Rise of Skywalker, and tells the story of how the Resistance begins to rebuild their greatly diminished, overwhelmed fleet.⠀
⠀
In the climax of The Last Jedi, the Resistance's call for help goes unanswered, despite them knowing they have allies out there. The main narrative follows their investigations into what happened to these, and their efforts to seek out and recruit further sympathizers.⠀
⠀
Much has been said about this book being an Avengers-scale crossover, bringing in characters from different stories, across different media from the expanded universe — from the films, to comics, to even the video games — all coming together for a final stand.⠀
⠀
In the hands of any other writer this would have been an unwieldy task, but Roanhorse proves skillful enough to handle it with poise and panache. With Resistance Reborn, she has written a heist story, a thriller, and a political drama that never fails to be fun, and never, ever loses sight of the most important aspect of the whole Star Wars galaxy: its characters.⠀
⠀
Resistance Reborn boasts a huge cast of characters, but it is also mostly Poe's tale, and I love Roanhorse's characterization of him here. Outside of The Force Awakens and his comic book series, Poe is a character that Star Wars doesn't really know what do with. In The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker, he's reduced to an arrogant pilot who is constantly screwing things up in a spectacular fashion, redeems himself, but then fails to learn his lesson as he repeats the same mistakes further down the line. In TFA we were introduced to a character that was hotheaded yes, but also ceaselessly charming, loyal, and optimistic. This portrayal carried on in the books and the comics, but got cast aside as the final two films decided to have him be little more than a Han Solo stand-in. Which is boring and disappointing. ⠀
⠀
Roanhorse also further develops his relationship with Finn, including a handful of scenes that are not only touching and thematically relevant, but also add fuel to the FinnPoe fire. (Literally the only ship I've wanted to see set sail. Alas.) ⠀
⠀
Unfortunately, Roanhorse doesn't get to do a lot with Rey here, however. Her portrayal is fine and serviceable, but it's also very minor. I assume this was because her story was being reserved for TRoS.⠀
⠀
The other characters are great and a lot of fun, with a decent amount of familiar faces returning (including a character that literally made me go "oh daaang," out loud). I want to make special mention of Shriv Suurgav, though, a character pulled in from the Battlefront II video game. He was new to me, as I've never played the game, but he quickly became a favorite. He serves mostly as comic relief here, but brought some pathos as well. I really loved his inclusion here.
⠀
Rebecca Roanhorse has, with a single book, become one of my favorite Star Wars author. For my credits I think she and Claudia Gray could easily carry this entire expanded universe by themselves, and what rich stories we would get.

The main resistance characters, Rey, Poe, Finn, Leia, etc., all appear in the book to varying degrees. But, like many of the "fill in" novels, the "main" characters do not really dominate the story, and more ancillary characters take a larger role. The author does a good job conveying that Rey is feeling lost having incomplete Jedi training, and losing the one person who could have trained her. She also does a good job conveying split emotions among the rank and file resistance members who are left, with some wanting to fight on, and others seeing the fight against The First Order as a losing battle.
Overall, it is a good novel that bridges part of the time gap between TLJ and TROS, while also leaving a lot of room for further stories from that time period to be fleshed out. It is a moderately easy read, and the chapters are easily digestible lengths so you can read as much or as little at one time as you want. If you are one of those people who only get some, but not all, of the novels, this one is definitely worth picking up.

Besonders schön hat mir das aufgreifen der Charaktere aus Nachspiel und Bloodline gefallen.
Das Buch besteht aus dauernd wechselnden Hauptcharakteren, darunter Leia, Poe, Wedge (OT und Nachspiel), Shriv (aus Battlefront 2) und einige Imperiale. Diese verschiedenen Perspektiven laufen zusammen und wieder auseinander und im Finale wieder zusammen, was die Geschichte doch zu einem befriedigenden Abschluss bringt und diese damit nicht nur der schnipselhaften Fortsetzung so vieler Geschichten dient.

Quanto detto però non deve trarre in inganno: ci troviamo dinanzi a una delle migliori pubblicazioni degli ultimi anni, con un ottimo ritmo e davvero un'infinità di collegamenti con gli altri media.
Riesce a commuovere in più di un'occasione: un acquisto obbligato per i fan della saga.

Resistance Reborn is, in my opinion, not of the level of other Star Wars books released in 2019. Master and Apprentice, Dooku: Jedi Lost, Alphabet Squadron, Thrawn: Treason - all of these outdo Resistance Reborn in terms of writing quality and that "fun factor" that makes me not want to put down a book. However, Resistance Reborn is still a good Star Wars novel (that I very much enjoyed) and it does a good job of bringing together characters from the movies, other books, comics, and even the video games. YouTuber Star Wars Explained described it as a love letter to the new Star Wars Canon's fans. That is a sentiment I wholeheartedly agree with.
If you are a fan of the new Star Wars Canon EU, and want to see how the Resistance is coming along after the events of The Last Jedi, I suggest you pick up this book. It is overall a good story to experience before The Rise of Skywalker. Resistance Reborn has a fun story that sees the return of several fan-favourite characters. It also has quite a few new characters that are interesting additions to the new Canon. Roanhorse does a decent job of getting into the heads of the characters and making us really relate to a lot of them. She even makes you sympathize with this one Corellian character who is loyal to the First Order and a ruthless taskmaster to his subordinates, a complete and total sell-out who cares not what happens to his home-world and her people.
