Jody Houser’s comic book adaptation of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story features art by Emilio Laiso, Paolo Villanelli, and Oscar Bazaldua and colors by Rachelle Rosenberg. Like Alexander Freed’s novelization of the film, Houser’s story includes scenes that did not make the final cut of the film, such as Jyn’s interaction with her cellmate on Wobani. Houser also condenses some events and moves others, such as Cassian receiving orders to execute Galen, so that they add dramatic weight. In the latter example, Houser portrays Cassian’s orders as him processing them just as K-2SO calls his attention to Jyn’s blaster and her discussion of trust going both ways. Houser also includes flashbacks of Jyn working with Saw. Further added or extended scenes include flashbacks of Galen’s early interactions with Director Krennic, more character development for Bodhi Rook (particularly in his interactions with K-2SO), the Rebels disarming the Imperial inspection team on Scarif, and K-2SO getting the plans of Scarif from another Imperial droid. The film included some quick references to Star Wars: Rebels, but artist Laiso forefronts the Ghost in an image of the Rebel fleet approaching Scarif. Included in this volume is the one-shot story, Star Wars: Rogue One – Cassian & K-2SO Special, written by Duane Swierczynski with art by Fernando Blanco. The story shows how the two characters met while Cassian Andor was trying to find a source for Imperial code on a backwater world, resulting in his reprogramming K-2SO. Swierczynski’s narrative should be particularly interesting as Disney plans to make a Cassian Andor series for Disney+. Blanco’s art resembles the style used in Dark Horse’s 1990s comics set during the Age of Rebellion, adding a nice tone to the narrative. no reviews | add a review
