The book will be released on December 16, the same day as the film. A German Star Wars fan site posted preview pages for a companion book that’s allegedly tied to the movie – and it reveals a lot about the characters in the film that we had no idea about, plus what kind of technology we can expect (yes, a new CGI character). The story guide actually won’t be on sale until January 24, 2017, over a month after Rogue Onecomes out, which makes this early scoop from it all the more ironic.

Now, Vader’s involvement (even if it’s just a cameo) seems confirmed by this new visual guide, with the Sith Lord looming over the confirmed cast in one picture. The content includes character names, and a few more details we previously didn’t know about them (it’s not particularly spoiler-y, and mostly tallies with various rumours and assumptions, but if you don’t want to know their names and brief descriptions this is your warning).
– Pao and Bistan, aliens described as “fierce warriors”.
The visual story guide also teases the “Dangerous Mission” Jyn and the Rebel Alliance embarks on long before Luke Skywalker (Harrison Ford) and the Rebel Alliance destroyed the Death Star during an attack.
The official companion book to fall’s most anticipated release of Star Wars Rogue One. Detailed, in-depth character profiles, iconic vehicles, weaponry and droids.
Felicity Jones plays Jyn Erso, a gifted soldier and warrior. But now we know for certain that it is, and it’s name is K-250, an Imperial model enforcer droid that somehow ends up on the Rebel’s side.
Jiang Wen is Baze, a “freelance assassin”.
– Donnie Yen plays Chirrut, who is described as “a spiritual warrior”.
