Each comic will also feature a cover by beloved Star Wars artist David Marquez. <\/p>\n<p>The Cassian Andor one will be an espionage thriller dealing with events between \u201cAndor\u201d and \u201cRogue One\u201d as Cassian arrives in the lawless maze of Kafrene.  IT goes on sale first on May 3rd with subsequent issues following each month.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Cover art for the recently revealed ROGUE ONE 10th Anniversary prequel comic series<\/p>\n<p>Read more about the new comics (including plot descriptions + release dates) here: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uSILeucf9e\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/uSILeucf9e<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yyPpwBN5sj\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/yyPpwBN5sj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Star Wars Holocron (@sw_holocron) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sw_holocron\/status\/2024920911812370929?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">February 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lucasfilm \u201cRogue One\u201d may have released ten years ago, but its legacy in the \u201cStar Wars\u201d universe lives&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":304151,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[63746,146,85,46,397],"class_list":["post-304150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-bigslider","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304150","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304150"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304150\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304150"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304150"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
