The scenes that suffer the most, though, are the most important. Terms like “elysium” and “quintessence” join the list of Star Wars science-fantasy jargon. The workings of the Starkiller Base are described in great (if nonsensical) detail. It’s a brief point of view, but a useful one. We learn that Leia’s aid Korr Sella was sent to the Senate to gain support from the New Republic, and that’s her that the camera zooms in on just before the planet’s destruction. An observation missing from the movie, her guilt and fear in that moment made for one of the strongest moments in the book. The scene of the firing of Starkiller Base benefits from the novel format in other ways, too. The novel also tugs at the heartstrings when it notes that the Ileenium System is the second galactic disaster to unfold in front of Leia’s eyes because of the people she was fighting. She thought she could protect Han from the problem, but that didn’t work out well for the family.
In what appears to be dialogue trimmed from the script, she explains that the First Order’s Supreme Leader Snoke has been watching her family for her son’s whole life, and that she never told Han about these sinister observations. One of the biggest revelations in the book comes from General Leia Organa, whose role is, as in the movie, mostly one of letting the people she presumably commands do their jobs. Meanwhile, Finn, who “had grown immune to compliments he didn’t think he deserved,” gains a bit of pathos. Poe’s first confrontation with Kylo paints Poe as slightly different than in the movie, using his joking tone to disguise a keen mind for strategy. They’re “astonished” and “overwhelmed” to see one another alive on D’Qar. Poe and Finn are likewise characterized sparely but with moments of endearing clarity. He’s interested in making her his apprentice from that very first moment, something we don’t quite see until the end of the film. His childish actions are highlighted even further when he calls other people childish, and Rey’s first confrontation with Kylo is one of the more interesting departures from the movie. Added to his conflict in the script is a consistent hypocrisy.
