New Rogue One Prequel Comics to Explore Characters from the Film

Marvel Comics, in collaboration with Lucasfilm, is set to release a series of prequel comics based on the characters from ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.’ These new comics follow the success of the ‘Andor’ TV show, which reintroduced audiences to the Rebel Alliance’s fight against the Empire. The five one-shots will focus on main characters like Cassian Andor, Jyn Erso, Chirrut Îmwe, Baze Malbus, Saw Gerrera, and even Darth Vader, delving into their backstories before the events of the 2016 film. ‘Rogue One’ has long been celebrated for its strong ensemble cast, and these comics aim to fill in the gaps in their pasts. Each comic will be illustrated by top artists including David Marquez, and the first in the series is scheduled to release in May 2026, with subsequent issues arriving throughout the year. Fans can look forward to stories that explore espionage missions, personal struggles, and key moments from the characters’ pasts that shaped their roles in the Rebellion. This series promises to expand the rich narrative of the ‘Star Wars’ universe, offering fresh insights into some of its most beloved characters.
