Rogue One introduced a terrific new cast of characters to the Star Wars franchise, so it's a little frustrating that Marvel's first attempt at capitalizing on the new film is a direct adaptation. Why can't we get a comic about the early years of Jyn Erso or life at the Jedi Temple on Jedha? The fact that Marvel's recent The Force Awakens adaptation was such a dud doesn't help. Rogue One is better executed, at least, but it's still guilty of telling a story that didn't really need to be revisited in the first place.
Issue #1 follows the early portion of the film pretty closely, opening with a flashback to Director Krennic and Galen Erso's fateful meeting and then jumping forward to established Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor's shared mission. The flashback sets a bad precedent for the rest of the issue, blowing through that entire sequence in the span of two pages and completely skipping over significant portions in the process. Rushed pacing is one of the most common flaws with these types of adaptations, and this sequence is a perfect example of what can go wrong when too many story beats are crammed into one page.
