It’s hard to think of a better way to honor Rogue One‘s 10th Anniversary (what do you mean it’s been 10 years?!?) than basking in Andor‘s complexities, seeing the heroic efforts afterwards by rewatching the film, and maybe diving into A New Hope for the ultimate payoff. Marvel Comics didn’t want that to be fans’ only option and thus a series of one-shot comics were born. We begin with Rogue One: Cassian Andor #1, which tries to squeeze into the end of Andor season two and the beginning of the film. Read on for my review! Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Rogue One – Cassian Andor #1”
It doesn’t seem possible that we’re already at the 10th Anniversary of Rogue One‘s release, but maybe it’s because we just finished Andor last year? Or I don’t want to admit the passage of time? Either way, Marvel isn’t letting us forget it’s time to celebrate, as they have put together a series of one-shots focusing on key characters, like Cassian Andor, Jyn Erso, and even Chirrut & Baze, which kicks off this May! In other Marvel news, we have our first glimpse at the one and only Women’s History Month variant cover for 2026, done by a new to Star Wars artist, Elena Casagrande! Coincidence the upcoming Rogue One comics only has one marginalized creative? Yes, but not a surprise when it comes to comics. Anyways, head below for the first details on all 5 Rogue One issues, several covers for it, and the preliminary Women’s History Month cover!

The Mandalorian won’t be alone on Disney’s upcoming streaming service, Disney+, as Diego Luna will return to play Cassian Andor in a spy thriller TV series set prior to Rogue One (for obvious reasons…)!

UPDATE: Here’s our review of the series’ three episode premiere; follow along here for more reviews as the series airs!

Ever curious how Cassian ended up with a reprogrammed Imperial droid named K-2SO? Rogue One – Cassian & K-2SO Special #1 answers that very question in a fun and fast-paced manner, but it contains so many kernels of much grander ideas/concepts it ends up feeling like it just scratches the surface of something greater.

Behind every great creature of the Star Wars universe, there are plenty of humans working hard to make them believable for the audience, even if the character might only appear for a few moments on screen. Given how much details goes into even the most minor of background aliens, it’s no surprise one of the creatures could go on to have a giant fan following no matter their screen time. If you’re curious to learn more regarding behind-the-scenes details for the creation of said creatures, specifically those from the most recent of films The Force Awakens and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, then we here at the Manor have a treat for you. Thanks to some connections by Elliot (his network of spies rivals that of only the Bothans, pre-Death Star II of course), we managed to get an interview with Colin Jackman, a sculptor and special effects man who’s not only worked with Lucasfilm on TFA and Rogue One, but has a long list of projects including Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World, Harry Potter, Band of Brothers…and then some. Together Ryan and Elliot cooked up some questions for Colin (though both Qs & As got looked at by Lucasfilm so don’t go expecting any scoops on upcoming films like The Last Jedi), and his answers are full of insightful looks behind the curtains of creatures like Grummgar from TFA and Bistan and Pao from Rogue One, how to have calm under fandom pressure, and advice for anyone looking to get into the field. Check out our interview with Colin Jackman below! Continue reading “Interview: Colin Jackman, Key Sculptor with Lucasfilm’s Creature Department”
