Star Wars: Rogue One Adaptation | An NWN Comic Review

Author: New Wave Nerds Network May 22, 2025 Duration: 29:12

After finishing up the second season of Andor, Brennan couldn't get enough of Cassian so we're back to review the comic book adaptation of Star Wars: Rogue One!

The Rebellion is here! The Rogue One crew makes the leap from the big screen to the comic-book page in this action-packed adaptation! All looks lost for the galaxy when the Empire's new super-weapon is discovered. Any insurgency will quickly be thwarted by the devastating new Death Star! But maybe there's hope for the rebel cause when Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor lead a crew of new heroes on a desperate mission to steal the plans to the planet-destroying threat! A crucial tale in the Star Wars saga is told at last! Plus: In an all-new story, flash back to the ill-tempered first meeting between Cassian and scene-stealing droid K-2SO!


The adaptation is written by Jody Houser and illustrated by Jan Bazaldua and Emilio Laiso. The Cassian & K-2S0 Special is written by Duane Swierczynski and illustrated by Fernando Blanco.


The Star Wars: Rogue One Adaptation is currently available in a hardcover collection with the Cassian & K-2S0 Special at your local comic book store and on digital storefronts!
