The Rebellion has arrived! The year's most significant cinematic release makes its way from the silver screen to the pages of a comic! The Rebellion's situation against the Empire appears dire as they uncover the existence of a new super-weapon: the Death Star. Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor, new heroes, embark on a perilous quest to procure the blueprints needed to dismantle this new super-weapon. Join Jody Houser (MAX RIDE), the writer, and Emilio Laiso (STAR WARS ANNUAL; HERCULES), the artist, as they establish the foundation for the grand saga that will unfold…
The prologue of this issue features the caption "Fifteen Years Ago," which corresponds to 15 BBY, echoing a line of dialogue spoken by Jyn Erso in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. However, supplementary materials associated with the film, including the novelization, junior novel, and Visual Guide, clarify that Erso's "fifteen years" was merely an estimation; the actual event transpired thirteen years prior, specifically in 13 BBY.
