Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is a novelization by Alexander Freed of the 2016 film of the same name.
Freed had previously written for story lines for and the novel Battlefront: Twilight Company, often focusing on the stories of "ordinary" characters. He was given access to the film script, which he divided into chapters with distinct point-of-view characters rather than using an omniscient narrator. Freed also incorporated sections of "Supplemental Data" to add a "documentary feel" comparable to the camerawork of director Gareth Edwards.[1]
As was the case with the previous novelization, to avoid spoilers the hardcover book was released after the film while the ebook was available on the day of the film's US release. The novel held a 4.16/5 rating on meta-critic site Goodreads, as of June, 2022.[4]
