Star Wars novels explore Rey’s crystal repair and Leia’s lightsaber origin

An excerpt from the upcoming novel *Star Wars: Legacy* shows Rey attempting to repair Luke Skywalker’s old kyber crystal, reflecting her doubts about the Jedi path. The passage highlights Rey’s use of ancient Jedi texts and her determination to restore the crystal despite lacking a mentor.

Meanwhile, author Beth Revis announced her next novel, *Star Wars: Twin Crossroads*, scheduled for an April 2027 release. The book will depict Leia Organa’s acquisition of her own lightsaber, exploring the origins of her kyber crystal and her training alongside Luke on Ajan Kloss. Revis discussed the project in an interview, noting the challenge of portraying Leia’s journey and the integration of broader saga elements.

Both works expand the post‑saga narrative, offering fans new insights into iconic characters and their connections to the legendary lightsaber crystals.
