Lucasfilm and Marvel Comics are teaming up to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story by publishing a series of new one-shot comics featuring beloved characters from the movie.
Revealed exclusively by io9, the five new one-shot comics will be set just before the events of Rogue One, with each focusing on a key character or characters from the movie: Jyn Erso, Cassian Andor, Chirrut Îmwe and Baze Malbus, and Darth Vader.
Jyn Erso’s story, which is written by Ethan Sacks and illustrated by Ramon Rosanas, will be set on Wobani, the planet that she is imprisoned on at the beginning of the movie.
Meanwhile, Cassian’s story by Ben Percy and Luke Ross will take place during the tiniest sliver of canon possible – the gap between the end of Andor Season 2 and the start of Rogue One, in which Cassian arrives on the mining colony of Kafrene.
“When we first meet Cassian Andor, he kills Tivik, a rebel informant, in cold blood,” Cassian comic author Ben Percy stated. “I remember looking around the theater, because I could not believe what I was seeing. That moment on the Ring of Kafrene truly made me understand how different this film was going to be, and I knew I wanted to go exactly there for this opening issue,” Percy continued. “Because there’s a lot happening around the edges that we don’t see. I’m paired on this with the brilliant artist Luke Ross and we’re giving you the story of what leads up to that unforgettable, character- and franchise-defining moment. Get ready for bounty hunters, stormtroopers, Krennic, K2, and whole lot at stake for both the rebellion and the Empire.”
