Adaptations are tricky for the most part and I tend to avoid them. I was interested in Rogue One simply because the film went through so many changes and I was curious what they would draw from, what would get expanded upon, and what might be different. There are some neat things in here and I love the little touches that tie to Catalyst and wish there were more to give it a deeper foundation to pull from. Houser keeps things moving well as we try to get a two hour film into six issues and Laiso does some solid work even if a number of his background characters simply don't work for me in how they're presented. Perhaps it'll come together when read in full in a way that I can't quite see yet in terms of the artwork. Read Full Review

The Vader scene is no where near as awesome as it was in the film but there are still some cool moments in this book. More flashbacks that give new information to the movie as well. This adaptation is still very much worth reading.
