'Rogue One' Comic Book Adaptation at Marvel to Take Inspiration from the Novel and Film
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story presumably has a lot of scenes lying on a cutting room floor somewhere, and that's where the good people at Marvel come in. They're going to pick up some of those pieces in an effort to adapt the film to the pages of a comic book limited series akin to last year's The Force Awakens.
“The comics will definitely expand on what was seen in both Rogue One the film and the novelization,” confirms writer Jody Houser in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “Lucasfilm and Gareth Edwards had a bunch of ideas for extra scenes and character moments that didn’t make it into the film. I’m having a lot of fun playing around with those. Adaptations across different forms of media have always been a great opportunity to explore other facets of the story, and we’re excited to have new material in the Rogue One comic."
Emilio Laiso will supply the artwork for Houser's scripts. While these adaptations can often feel pointless, the possibility of adding to the world and story is exactly what a project like this should do. Hopefully, they can pull it off.
