Entertainment Weekly's Ultimate Guide to Rogue One, a magazine published independently by Entertainment Weekly, delivered extensive coverage of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. It debuted on December 9, 2016, a week prior to the film's theatrical release. This magazine features a foreword penned by Director Gareth Edwards, a map depicting the galaxy, detailed information on characters like Darth Vader, Mon Mothma, the Rebel Alliance, and the stormtroopers. Furthermore, it includes a section dedicated to the Death Star, alongside spotlights on the new creatures, droids, and some returning favorites. The magazine also showcases production stills from the film, interviews featuring the cast and crew, previews of upcoming toy releases designed to promote the movie, and a comprehensive timeline of the Star Wars saga up to that point.

The map contained within the magazine exhibits several inaccuracies. As depicted on the map, following its departure from its originating planet of Geonosis, the Death Star is illustrated as having visited Scarif and Alderaan before its ultimate destruction at Yavin 4, notably omitting its visit to Jedha as portrayed in the motion picture, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The name of Iego is incorrectly spelled as "Lego." Kessel is erroneously placed within Hutt Space instead of being situated just outside its boundaries. Furthermore, the map cites Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide as a reference, despite the book not having been released at the time of the magazine's publication.
