Several characters actually say or think that but it’s apparent too. The story is all the more richer for it.Īnd speaking of Jyn, she has a lot of fire inside her. However in the book, that part of her past also informs the way she responds to danger, what she worries about, even how she approaches going to Scarif. In both that connection is why the Alliance wants her to help Cassian make contact with Saw. They have an effect on the character instead of mainly on the plot.įor example, in both forms of media we’re told Jyn used to fight alongside Saw Gerrara’s crew. Details we’re told about the characters in the movie are put to use in the book. Characters are important to me in any story and here they rise above the film’s muted earth-tone palette and become more vivid, more relatable, more real. It’s not merely added explanations of how someone got from one place to another or background information on locations – although those are both a part of this book. Overall Freed’s novelization adds nuance the movie lacked. While Rogue One itself was close but not quite what I was expecting, Alexander Freed was still an excellent choice for the novelization. Freed had previously written Star Wars Battlefront: Twilight Company and shown he had a good handle on portraying military conflict while growing characters. When Alexander Freed was announced as the author of the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story novelization, it sounded like a good idea.
