A big challenge for the TLJ novelization: “translating” storytelling from the visual language of film. The toughest scene was the voiceover reveal after the mirror cave. How do you replicate that surprise in print? You’ll see what I did March 6! https://t.co/IZsvx9m30e

One week till the TLJ novelization! I loved writing Rose and Finn: what’s Star Wars without rat-a-tat exchanges between feuding friends? As a bonus, look for a Legends reference that definitely qualifies as a deep cut. https://t.co/fymWg1sPpp
