Go beyond the film with a novelization featuring new scenes and expanded material.
As the shadows of the Empire loom ever larger across the galaxy, so do deeply troubling rumors. The Rebellion has learned of a sinister Imperial plot to bring entire worlds to their knees. Deep in Empire-dominated space, a machine of unimaginable destructive power is nearing completion. A weapon too terrifying to contemplate . . . and a threat that may be too great to overcome.
If the worlds at the Empire’s mercy stand any chance, it lies with an unlikely band of allies: Jyn Erso, a resourceful young woman seeking vengeance; Cassian Andor, a war-weary rebel commander; Bodhi Rook, a defector from the Empire’s military; Chirrut Îmwe, a blind holy man and his crack-shot companion, Baze Malbus; and K-2SO, a deadly Imperial droid turned against its former masters. In their hands rests the new hope that could turn the tide toward a crucial Rebellion victory—if only they can capture the plans to the Empire’s new weapon.
But even as they race toward their dangerous goal, the specter of their ultimate enemy—a monstrous world unto itself—darkens the skies. Waiting to herald the Empire’s brutal reign with a burst of annihilation worthy of its dreaded name: Death Star.
Great film novelization I read this book the day it was released having not seen the film. I enjoyed and could not put it down. Lots of inner character dialogue which to a fault probably made a key battle last much longer in reading, but no doubt brings out more of the characters than can be conveyed visually in the movie.
Excellent This is a great novel to accompany the movie. Generally the novels give you a lot more depth to go with the story like a player’s guide for an RPG. This does that and more, well done.
Excellent story Nice tie up between this and episode IV. You should probably read Rogue One Catalyst if you want the bakcstory of Galen and Krennic.
