Disney figures out how to get a sequel for Rogue One.

It’s a book called… Inferno Squad. And I’ll allow it:

The Rebellion may have heroes like Jyn Erso and Luke Skywalker. But the Empire has Inferno Squad. After the humiliating theft of the Death Star plans and the resulting destruction of the battle station, the Empire is on the defensive. In response to this stunning defeat, the Imperial Navy has authorized the formation of an elite team of soldiers, known as Inferno Squad. Their mission: infiltrate and eliminate the remnants of Saw Gerrera’s Partisans. Following the death of their leader, the Partisans have carried on his extremist legacy, determined to thwart the Empire — no matter what the cost. Now, Inferno Squad must prove their status as the best of the best and take down the Partisans from within. But as the danger intensifies and the threat of discovery grows, how far will Inferno Squad go to ensure the safety of the Empire?

(Via Coming Soon) And why will I allow it?  Because the Mouse played fair with the movie.  We all know what Disney could have insisted Rogue One do, but they respected the story and let it be told the right way.  If they want to cash in now on the flick with what looks like extremely bombastic military science fiction, well, Disney has earned the right to. Do not bind the mouth of the kine that treads the grain, and all that.

Inferno Squad comes out July 25th.

  1. The Mouse has a nose for money, and Star Wars is a gold mine. They’ve been doing great work mining it in other media they control, like Rebels on DisneyXD, which both gave Darth Vader a chance to preview what he’d do Rogue One and officially reintroduced Grand Admiral Thrawn to Disney’s new canon, and the various comic books published by Marvel (again, they put lots of effort into rebuilding Darth Vader’s villain cred).
