Marvel Comics is set to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story with an exciting series of character-centric one-shots, scheduled for release from May to September 2026. This initiative not only enriches the lore of the celebrated film but also provides collectors and retailers an opportunity to engage with new material around beloved characters.
Launching in May, the series will feature distinct one-shots each month, highlighting key figures from the film: Cassian Andor, Jyn Erso, Saw Gerrera, Chirrut & Baze, and Darth Vader. This monthly rollout underscores Marvel’s commitment to deepening the narrative fabric of the Star Wars universe, allowing a diverse audience of fans, collectors, and retailers to access fresh storytelling set against the backdrop of the Rebellion.
“Ten years ago, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story introduced the group of unlikely heroes who stole the plans to the original Death Star and set the stage for the Rebellion’s greatest victory. Announced earlier today at io9, Marvel Comics will celebrate the anniversary of the beloved film by publishing five one-shots spotlighting its key characters, starting in May with Cassian Andor, who went on to headline the film’s Emmy and Peabody Award-winning Disney+ prequel series, Andor. Returning to the grit and glory of a Rebellion on the brink of war, the all-new stories will be set just prior to the events of the film, revealing never-before-told back stories and adventures from this pivotal era.
“From the moment the first images of Cassian, Jyn, Saw, Baze, and Chirrut were revealed fans have wanted to know more about the brave outsiders who risked everything to help combat the Galactic Empire and its terrifying superweapon, and to learn more about what Vader was doing before A New Hope,” Lucasfilm Senior Editor Robert Simpson told io9. “We always knew the end of Rogue One wouldn’t be the end of their stories, and we’re so excited for fans to get these glimpses into their pasts.”
“This has been one of the most incredible Star Wars anniversary projects to work on!” Editor Mark Paniccia shared. “Just look at this roster of talent and these amazing covers by David Marquez! If you can’t get enough of these intriguing and memorable characters, this is for you! An absolute must for fans of Rogue One and Andor!”
