So, why didn't anyone show up? Well, it's not as simple as a bunch of people hearing that call for help in The Last Jedi and just ignoring it. By the time of The Rise of Skywalker, though, the lack of help in that desperate time is still eating at the characters, particularly Poe Dameron, who admits in the film that he very nearly lost all hope that day. Fortunately, Luke Skywalker manages to bail the whole force out at the eleventh hour, and the Resistance lives to fight another day. They sound a distress signal out into the galaxy, certain that their allies will hear it and rush to their aid. In The Last Jedi, as they take the few troops they have left to an old Rebellion base on the planet Crait, the remaining leaders of the Resistance make a last-ditch effort to get reinforcements. **Spoiler Warning: There are spoilers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and its official novelization ahead.** We've been spending our time indoors going through the novel and its many intriguing insights into the world of the sequel trilogy, and today we're tackling one of the great unanswered questions of the last two films: Why did no one show up to help the rebels in The Last Jedi? That, fortunately, leaves room for subsequent installments to flesh out certain things, and that's exactly what's happening in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker's official novelization from Rae Carson. Things move fast in Star Wars, and sometimes they move so fast that the present story doesn't have time to pause and explain every little thing to the viewer.
