Luke and Leia's Jedi Story Returns in 2027 Novel

There's a new Star Wars novel coming in 2027 that will bring Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa back together in a way fans haven't quite seen before. Star Wars: Twin Crossroads, written by Beth Reviss, picks up after the events of Return of the Jedi and centers on Leia's Jedi training under Luke's guidance.

The story explores the relationship between the twin siblings as Luke takes on the role of teacher, while also diving into their connection to the Force and what it means to carry forward the legacy of their parents, Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala. At the heart of the narrative is a mission to Coruscant—the former home of the Jedi Temple—which promises to unearth more about that family history and what it means for Luke and Leia as they chart their own path forward.

It's a premise that feels grounded in the kind of character work that makes Star Wars resonate: two people learning not just how to wield power, but how to understand who they are in relation to it. The fact that Leia's Force training takes center stage is particularly interesting, given how much of the saga has focused on Luke's journey. Here, she gets to step into that role with her brother as both student and equal.

With the novel still a few years away, there's plenty of time to wonder where this story might lead—and how it might reshape what we understand about Luke and Leia's early years rebuilding the Jedi Order. For now, it's enough to know that these two characters will have their moment together on the page, exploring the weight of their inheritance and the choices that come with it.
