Set just before the original Star Wars film, Rogue One follows Jyn Erso, a determined but reluctant rebel whose father, the unwilling designer of the Emperor’s Death Star superweapon, is captive within the Empire’s grip. As Jyn assembles a ragtag team including rebel Captain Cassian Andor, the enigmatic Guardians of the Whills Baze Malbus and Chirrut Îmwe, defector Bodhi Rook, and the reprogrammed Imperial droid K-2SO, they embark on a desperate mission to steal the Death Star plans. Amidst the backdrop of war, sacrifice, and political intrigue, this novelization by Alexander Freed expands the film’s story with deeper character insights, new scenes, and a gripping portrayal of hope and heroism in the darkest of times.
Alexander Freed’s novelisation is praised for its immersive storytelling, providing additional background and emotional depth that enrich this pivotal chapter of the Star Wars saga.
