Fans of the Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith comic series by Charles Soule, here’s something for you. Lord Momin, the Sith Lord who lived before the Rule of Two and had his consciousness trapped in his mask when the Jedi stopped his city-destroying superweapon, has now been promoted to Darth Momin. His former master, Lady Shaa, who died on his lightsaber blade, is likewise Darth Shaa.
6. New details of the First Order’s origins revealed.
STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER – Stormtroopers
While we know that the military might of the First Order was built up in the Unknown Regions by the escaping Imperial leadership in the decades after the Battle of Jakku, the First Order also had its start inside the New Republic. Agents of the First Order helped push for a stronger centralized role of the New Republic government, which in turn caused a political stalemate, forcing systems that fear losing control of their autonomy to break away from the New Republic — in a coalition called the First Order.
Okay, so there is a lot more to read about the book here. And you can find more pages to preview on Amazon.
