A straight up, almost shot for shot retelling of the film. Plus, a bonus story about how Cassian found K-2SO.

A basic adaptation. Never really read an adaptation before. This was fine for What it was. Nothing too spectacular

Just an exact telling of the film plus a bonus story at the end which is about the capturing of Kaytoo the security droid, which was interesting to read.

It’s very rushed and while it does add a few minor scenes, they ultimately add nothing to the story.

Easily one of the best adaptations from the Star Wars movies. The movie was one of my favorites too, so the story of this one definitely helped. The art lacked in some areas, but I’ve gotten used to that with most Star Wars titles. I did also really enjoy the Andor/K2 one-shot.

Il finale di Rogue One è il mio tallone d'Achille.
Non ho altro da aggiungere.

The artwork is really nice in this adaptation. The characters look just right, but very few panels look like they were just traced from frames of the movie. A few extra scenes fill out the story nicely. The book suffers most during the Scarif battle, though—this adaptation doesn't do well in communicating what's going on in that part of the story, and the end feels rushed and incoherent. Everything up to that point worked well, though.

Buena adaptación de la peli. El dibujo está muy conseguido, y además han incluido un capítulo extra previo de Cassian ✌🏻

Woe to you if you happen to read this adaptation without having seen the movie first.
Movies adaptated in comic book form are more often than not disappointing. I won't particularly put the blame on the authors; they have nearly no margin to work with, all being already set and framed by the movie and the limited number of issues doesn't allow minor unscreened developments like books can.
Still, this one is probably the worst adaptation I've read. It's terribly confused and I spent half the time replaying the (excellent) movie in my head to try to connect it with what I was reading on the page.<- Not a good sign
Add a very, very, awkward storytelling and bland art and you'll get the book you should not read to appreciate one of the very best Star Wars movies (a close second to the Empire strikes back imho).
Try Alexander Freed's novelization instead. This one is on the contrary one of the best adaptation I've read so far.

Not too bad, but not great. This one didn’t really translate well to a comic adaptation. The characters were all too performance based, so seeing it on a page lacked personality. Art was fine… but this lacked the energy and excitement I’d have wanted from a Star Wars comic. This story is definitely meant to be viewed on a screen.

Almost scene for scene from the movie. Art is simple. There is a special of how Cassian & K-2SO ended up together which was cute.

Good companion to the movie. If you like Rogue One like me.
Nice artwork. Some small dialogues not in the movie, including with Admiral Raddus (may he rest in peace), Jyn and Chirrut, and Kaytoo and Bodhi.
Also, this version has a cool bonus: the story of how Cassian met Kaytoo for the first time.

While no where near as good as the novelization (which is honestly the best novelization I've ever read) this was still good. It was nice to go back and be with the crew of Rogue One again even if it was just at surface value.
I miss them :(

After all the positive buzz surrounding this, I was extremely excited to read marvels comic adaption of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. I was blown away Alexander Freed's novelization, so when I heard the comic added a bunch of extra scenes, I couldn't wait to see what happened. While it certainly is nowhere near as good as the novelization, this comic delivered.
THE MOVIE: Normally I would give a quick synopsis of the story, but because this is an adaption of another story, I take this time to talk about the source material: the 2016 movie directed by Gareth Edwards.
I'm not that big fan of the film. Yes, that Darth Vader scene was awesome. Yes, the third act was spectacular. But most of the rest left much to be desired. And in terms of the new movies, I found The Last Jedi and even The Force Awakens to be far better.
I'll start with the good real quick. I like the story alot. It's a compelling prequel on how the rebels got the death star plans. Through that we get to see lots of different points of view in the galaxy, particularly the idea that not everybody in the rebellion was what you would call a good person.
Some people connected with the characters and really loved them, others found them completely flat and bland. I'm somewhere in between. On the one hand, the movie's portrayal of Jyn was a bit weak. To this day, I'm left completely unconvinced that Jyn would so quickly be willing to lead the team to scariff after the rebels killed her father. Yes, K2SO and Chirrut Imwe were fun, but they didn't leave much of an impact beyond that. I didn't get very emotional for any of the main cast when they were killed off.
On the other hand, Cassian Andor is seriously underrated. He was by far the best written character and Diego Luna gave the best performance in the film.
Now for the problems: yes, I think the bor gullet scene is stupid too. Yes, the cameos from R2 and 3PO as well as Pondo Baba and Dr. Evazaan were forced. But lets get to my other problems. First, Forrest Whitaker's performance was pretty goofy. He's a great actor (as proven by Denis Villeneuve's "Arrival") and he can be fantastic in the role (Rebels proved that), but with this movie, something didn't translate well, and when he was trying to be intimidating, I just sort of cringed.
But the biggest problem? Director Krennic. Ben Mendelson did the best he could with the role, but the character himself was without a doubt the lamest villain from any Star Wars movie. At least Ziro the Hutt nearly doomed the republic's war effort in the god awful clone wars movie. Heck, even General Grievous killed a jedi master in a deleted scene. Krennic was just there to be pushed around by Tarkin (who shouldn't have been in the movie), and Vader. He wasn't even able to kill Cassian Andor!
THE BAD: Ok, enough bitching and moaning about the flaws of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story? What flaws does the comic have?
Honestly, not very many. I can say everything feels rushed, but that's just because the comic cuts out a lot from several scenes, namely the opening with Jyn as a little girl, as well as spending alot less time on the battle of scariff itself. But this can be forgiven because this is a comic, and its constrained by its length. I personally give it a pass because cutting the content we have seen already allows the comic to focus on the new little moments and scenes that it adds in. Even if it doesn't improve the story or characters for some readers, it's still something new that gives those who have scene the movie multiple times a reason to read this comic.
I wish the comic gave us some more with Director Krennic. The book was able to make Krennic better by focusing on the political side of the character, not even trying to give him a villainous presence. The book just takes what the film had and put it in here, adding nothing.
The last big problem I have is that the last issue doesn't add any new scenes. All the other issues had so many juicy little bits that greatly enriches the story that film tries to tell, but the last issue is just a quick summary of the last 20 or so minutes in the movie.
My final little nitpick is that the drawings of the faces sometimes don't look very good.
THE GOOD: This was a satisfying adaptation that captured the core of the story, was a well made comic on its own, and added something new to the story.
I'll start with the extra scenes, because that's what most readers will pick this up for. And this comic certainly delivers. The character of Saw Guerrera is so well done here, with extra moments that enrich not just his relationship with Jyn, but him as a character on his own. In the film, he felt like just another dead father figure/mentor, just going along with Qui Gonn, Obi Wan, Yoda, Galen Erso, and now Han Solo and Luke Skywalker as just another redone trope. But in this comic, I actually felt for him because of how tastefully his death was handled. Canon junkies are really going to love the clone wars connection it makes too. Bodhi is given more background on why he's defecting, and the Bor Gullet scene is actually pretty terrifying. It also provides more flashes of backstory. And in the other beats from the film extra scenes are inserted that actually develops his character in a charming and endearing way, much like Alexander Freed's novel did. Baze and Chirrut have a couple of great extra moments, that enhance both characters greatly. Jyn was also well done, and they added an extra scene that nicely smoothed out Jyn's transition from being bitter toward the rebels to leading them to scarif. It also enhances the dialogue she had with Cassian right before.
Now lets get too the rest of what works. Afterall, this is still a comic, and extra scenes alone do not make it good.
The artwork is excellent. The action is not as good as it is in the movie, but as comic book action on its own, it's still fast paced and great to look at. But what really stands out is the placement of panels: it brilliantly integrates extra little visuals that greatly enhance quite a few of the boring expository scenes that the movie was filled with in the first two acts.
The writing is also very good, in that it keeps everything moving at a fast and exciting pace. Most of the funny lines were kept in, but we got some new lines that were profound. I also respect the decision to get through some of the more familiar scenes quickly, particularly the ones that added little to the story: I'm looking at you, opening with Jyn as a little girl.
THE CONCLUSION: Final rating is 4 stars.
The stuff hat was actually from the movie feels rushed at times, but it is made up for by being crammed with so many extra scenes that are highly effective and inserted in exactly the right places. This comic deserves respect for the effort that it made to stand on its own while also adapting the film as faithfully as it could, much like the novelization. No matter how many times you have watched Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, both the novel and the comic are great reads that work wonders in adding to the story as part of Star Wars lore.

Rogue One is easily the best movie of the Disney era for me, just a pure Star Wars adventure with relatable characters, a simple uplifiting story of rebellion shot with beautiful cinematography, well acted, and it managed to fix the dumbest thing on the original movies, which was the hole in the Death Star. If only the sequels had learned something from this simplicity.
This adaptation does the movie justice, the art is good, with cool backgrounds, an odd face here and there, got the job done, but I wouldn't recommend picking this up as a replacement for the movie, cause some of the moments won't feel the same if you never watched the movie, the pace is so much faster here, you'll probably miss the intended result, this is a book for collectors, pure and simple.

79th book read in 2018.
Number 422 out of 739 on my all time book list.
Does not catch the magic of the movie. Really a 3.5 star book. On a side note this is 100th Marvel book I have read.

This is a really good adaptation of the movie, and I loved the short story at the end for Cassian and K-2SO

While the graphic novelisation isn't the best it could be, I'm glad to have read it. The one-shot at the end is excellent. The major events from the movie are present, even though they are distinctly more lifeless. This story isn't the best introduction to the Star Wars universe, though it's a good enough story in its own right. I dare say I like these characters more than many others in the Star Wars universe. I guess the movie was simply better. Anyone rooting for Rogue Two? Or Rogue One The Return... Forever... Unlimited...
Galen Erso is an imperial collaborator working in weapons development. He is forced into it by the imperials. They find and arrest his daughter Jyn who rejected her father years before, but she is soon freed by the rebels opposing the empire. They have found that the empire is developing a weapon with Galen's help that is able to destroy a planet. Casian Andor leads the mission involving Galen, but it's not one of retrieval - it's an assassination instead. Meanwhile they learn that Galen has installed a flaw in the design of the weapon the imperials have dubbed the Death Star.

The Marvel comics adaption of the excellent film, this plays really well and includes some nice additional scenes that flesh out the story. The artwork is good across the board (though, at times, it looks a bit too clean), the pace zips along and there’s even an extra story, which explores how Cassian came into contact with K-2S0. If you liked the film, this works very well as an accompaniment and I’d heartily recommend it.

Perfect for Star Wars fans
Lots of fun for Star Wars fans. This is an almost scene for scene adaptation of the film with an added comic story of how Cassian met K2.

Way better than the IDW version. There’s extra detail in here that help connect the dots for a few scenes. Some quick little moments from the Catalyst novel, too. Wonderful artwork.

I LOVE this comic it has extra scenes, I also LOVED the flashbacks!

Schon das Cover der Rogue Oen Graphic Novek sieht sehr stark nach Adaption aus, da die Charaktere so herrlich nah an die Schauspieler gezeichnet wurden. Genau das habe ich eigentlich auch erwartet, als ich mit Rogue One begonnen habe: Eine klassische Adaption, die das Filmgeschehen in Comicform wiedergibt. Das passiert auch. Mehr oder weniger. Wir erfahren beim Lesen den gesamten Film in genau der gleichen Zeitspanne, wie es auch dort der Fall war. Allerdings doppelt sich nichts. Das geschehen wurde aus völlig unterschiedlichen Perspektiven erzählt. So hat man - wenn man den Film kennt - zwar immer eine sehr gute Orientierung, wo man sich gerade befindet, man erfährt aber an allen Ecken neues über die Handlung in Rogue One und so gab mir der Comic einen enormen Mehrwert.
Mit dem Zeichenstil habe ich mich auch enorm wohl gefühlt. Wie oben schon erwähnt, waren die Figuren sehr nah am Aussehen der Schauspieler im Film, was ich hier sehr toll fand, da der Comic ja eine nachtrglich adaptierte Fassung war. Aber auch abgesehen davon fand ich die Zeichnungen und die Anordnung der Panels wahnsinnig angenehm aber auch experimentierfreudig. Zusammenfassen kann man außerdem, dass enorm viele Emotionen in den Zeichnungen stecken und diese sehr viel transportieren. Wenn ihr Star Wars Fans seid, solltet ihr euch den Comic also nicht entgehen lassen.
Die Graphic Novel Adaption zu Rogue One: A Star Wars Story ist für alle Star Wars Fans ein echtes Muss. Nicht nur die Zeichnungen sind wunderschön, ausdrucksstark und sehr nah am Film, die Geschichte überzeugt darüber hinaus mit vielen neuen Details und Blickwinkel, die man im Film nicht bekommt.

Este livro tem duas histórias. Aquela do filme, Rogue One - Uma História de Star Wars, e a de como o Capitão Cassian Andor conheceu K-2SO.
Uma vez que Rogue One é o meu filme favorito do universo de Star Wars, gostei bastante do livro. Foi tudo o que estava à espera que fosse, apesar de esperar, lá bem no fundo, algo mais...alguns detalhes...enfim. Tal não aconteceu. A história está bastante sintetizada aqui nesta banda desenhada, tudo acontece como no filme, mas de modo super rápido o que não me fez sentir aquela emoção do filme. Mas não me desiludiu.
As personagens estão tal e qual no filme. Jyn Erso é uma rebelde excelente, que no início não o assume ser, mas que depois luta com incrível pujança. Cassian Andor é um capitão dos rebeldes que tem uma missão dupla, o que fá-lo entrar em conflito com os seus sentimentos por Jyn a meio da história...e todas as outras personagens são excelentes. A relação entre o Capitão e o seu robô, K-2SO, também é aqui representada de forma muito interessante. Claro, Darth Vader rouba a cena sempre que aparece. Foi principalmente na última parte que fiquei à espera de mais...Aquela sequência final, dentro dos túneis!!! Tem tão pouco na banda desenhada!
Em relação à outra história, tenho a referir que gostei bastante de saber como é que Cassian e K-2SO se conheceram e como correu. Tem ação e uma grande dose de amizade. Gostei.
Ou seja, um livro que se lê num ápice e que vai agradar a todos os fãs de Star Wars. A arte presente na obra é muito bela e cheia de detalhe.

This adaptation from the movie features Jyn Erso and her quest to save her father, the man who has designed the Death Star. When her mission turns into getting the plans for the Rebellion, Jyn and Cassian team up to take the first step in bringing the Empire down. The neat thing about this adaptation is that it comes with "Cassian & K-2SO" Special #1, the story of how Cassian meets his soon to be droid friend while on a mission with two other Rebels. Aiming to reprogram an Imperial droid proves to be a challenge, but well worth it when a new friend is gained from the hardship of the mission.
Being an adaptation, there are a few things that need to be moved around ever so slightly to maintain the flow of the graphic novel. While the art is once again beautiful, thanks to the awesome teams Marvel has for its new line of Star Wars comics, it does not have quite the same feeling as a visual space battle with the sound effects that come with shooting and blowing things up. The Vader scene at the end was still beautiful, but not as heart-pounding as its visual counterpart. Overall, a great adaptation to review the story swiftly if one does not want to take the time to watch the whole movie again (but who wouldn't?).

Written by Jody Houser, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is Marvel Comics adaptation of the hit 2016 movie. The adaptation features art by Emilio Laiso, Paolo Villanelli, and Oscar Bazaldua and collects the six issue limited series along with the stand alone Star Wars: Rogue One—Cassian & K-2SO Special #1 (October 2017) which was written by Duane Swierczynski and illustrated by Fernando Blanco.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was a big question when it was released. With a plot that everyone knew the solution to (aka the Rebels get the Death Star plans), it became a big question on how to make the story that leads up to it interesting. The surprising aspect of Rogue One is that it was such a compelling Star Wars movie and the adaptation works to tell the story while expanding upon it.
The adaptation is pretty flawless. I think it gets a bit rushed at the end, but it does what all good adaptations should do. The story is forced to present a movie story that fans will have probably seen and will already know how it ends. It must provide a solid telling of the story while giving a few extra nuggets and conversations to make the adaptation worth reading if you know the movie. It succeeds in this front.
The story adaptation is paired with a stand-alone issue revealing how K-2SO and Cassain Andor first met. Often when these stories occur, you could write them off as non-canon, but in theory, everything being produced by Marvel is canon and this is how the story for Rogue One is set-up (even if we never see it on camera). It is a short story, but I do enjoy the relationship between K-2SO and Andor so it is worth expanding a bit on.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is just an adaptation. If you know the movie and don’t particularly care about the K-2SO and Andor story, it isn’t worth seeking out. If you enjoyed the film and want to slightly expand the story, it is a worth checking out. Don’t expect to be wowed and don’t expect a ton of extra incite, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is what it is…and you’ll need to just take it as that.

This is an excellent adaptation of the Disney prequel film, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The art is quite good in most respects, and although there isn't a lot of extra material (not seen in the theatrical version), I really do not understand why that might be a prerequisite (or even a minor consideration) for anyone in assessing this book in a mostly positive light.
I mean, come on! It is what it is. It's a classic style comic book adaptation of a blockbuster science fiction-fantasy adventure film - one of my personal favorites in the Star Wars canon - and not a dramatic attempt at the reinvention of the wheel itself! And what, pray tell, could possibly be wrong with that?
Again, the art by Emilio Laiso, Oscar Bazuldua, Paolo Villanelli, and Fernando Blanco is quite well done. The likenesses of most of the major characters are spot on in most panels, and the covers of all six collected issues are nothing short of stunning. Further, writer Jody Houser is obviously smart enough do what any good adaptive author does, and just plain stays faithful to the source material. So what's not to like?
Therefore, I really cannot say that I understand why anyone who claims to be a fan of the Star Wars saga would not absolutely love this book to pieces. So I will simply have to end this missive by firmly challenging anyone who thinks they could have done a better job than this (obviously better than average Marvel Comics effort) to simply stop writing off the cuff, nit-picky little reviews on social media, and get down to the business of actually doing it all better themselves.

Una adaptación decente de la película. Prácticamente está trasladada escena a escena, viñeta a viñeta. Algunos diálogos me perdieron, no sé si están mal traducidos o mal escritos, pero hay veces donde la distribución del diálogo en la viñeta no coincide. También hay errores al trasladar la acción a la viñeta y a veces la línea narrativa se cae y hay saltos muy grandes de página a página.
También Houser se toma la libertad, pocas veces lamentablemente, de ahondar un poco más en los personajes, le da más protagonismo al androide y a Bohdi el piloto, hay un par de diálogos entre ellos que me gustaron mucho. También hay varios diálogos interesantes entre Chirrut Imwet y baze malbus.
También hay un par de viñetas añadidas sobre el pasado de Saw Gerrera que también me gustaron. Creo que como adaptación hace un buen trabajo siendo adaptación y va un poquito más lejos dándonos información extra muy apreciada.
Este tomo también tiene un número extra con una aventura de Cassian Andor y el androide que siempre olvido su nombre. En esa historia vemos cómo se conocen y de dónde viene la personalidad sarcástica y honesta del androide, me sacó risas varias veces tanto en la adaptación como en la historia extra. La historia extra no es muy necesaria para entender todo lo que pasa en Rogue One pero está entretenida e introduce dos alienígenas que se comunican con aromas que me parecieron personajes interesantes y ojalá aparezcan en la serie de Andor para Disney+.
