Overview
- The one-shot comics mark Rogue One’s 10th anniversary and are set immediately before the events of the film.
- Individual issues spotlight Jyn Erso, Saw Gerrera, Chirrut Îmwe with Baze Malbus, Darth Vader, and Cassian Andor.
- Lucasfilm senior editor Robert Simpson said the goal is to give fans focused glimpses into each character’s past.
- The rollout begins in May 2026, aligning with Lucasfilm’s return to theaters with The Mandalorian and Grogu.
- The initiative follows Andor Season 2, which debuted in April 2025, won five of 22 Emmy nominations, and helped form an unofficial throughline into Rogue One and A New Hope.
