What with the fairly recent announcement of a The Force Awakens Beginner box set would you'd like to see a Rogue One version of this?
If not what would you rather see?

Sure, why not? Especially if they include some candy like the galactic map. But anyway, this product line hasn't let me down yet, so until that happens I'll buy whatever they produce.
Do I think it's necessary? Not really. Would I buy it? Unfortunately, yes. The mind control devices they place in their products compells me to.
Unless it brings something exceptionally different to the setting, I don't see how Rogue One is going to be all that different from your run of the mill Age of Rebellion game. Anything introduced can just be worked into an AoR book. It would seem a cash grab even more than the TFA game (or, more accurately, a contractual obligation on FFG's part).
I would probably still buy it. But that's besides the point.
It really depends... I know, that's a cop-out. As Blackbird888 said, Rogue One is, essentially, an AoR campaign. Unless the movie contains shocking revelations, I can't see the necessity of a new product. If, on the other hand, a Rogue One boxed game offers something really interesting & new that I can't get from another source... then yes, I would probably buy it.
Then again, I may just mine it for ideas and run it my own way so that I can put Kyle Katarn back where he belongs.
Maybe a Rogue One adventure, but not a basic set.
An expansion on Rescue from Glare Peak one we can all buy?
TFA I think could justify a separate beginner box because it's outside the classic Rebellion Era that the three core rulebooks are set within. How much new info on the setting said box will provide (apart from the galaxy map) remains to be seen, but it is enough of it's own thing that the folks in charge of such things felt there'd be enough of a market to warrant a separate starter box for that era.
But with Rogue One, it is effectively a "boots on the ground" Age of Rebellion adventure, taking place during the Galactic Civil War and featuring the Rebel Alliance fighting the Galactic Empire. And that sort of theme is already covered by the AoR Beginner Box, which has the PCs sneaking into a secret Imperial base with the goal of co-opting it for the Alliance's usage.
How about they focus on one part of Rogue One?
Explain why those rebels were being led away as prisoners allowing your players be part of the mission to free them, but whilst the Rogue One cast move on to chase the Death Star plans your guys are on the run distracting the Imperials to give the movie cast the chance to complete their mission.
So it involves multiple worlds with a short adventure sequence on each until they're ready for the endgame where Krennic figures out he's being duped so now they're trying to throw off the Imperials to insure the plans are transmitted to the Tantive IV.
Does that sound worthy of a box set, maybe better as an adventure book?

If with Rogue One you mean a squadron based beginner box? Sure, I would buy that. But it is kind of redundant and let's be honest here for a moment: Those official adventures are all badly written, not on par with for example pathfinder adventures and all basically aimed at beginners anyway. A box with cool toys in it is still nice to have, even when in most cases you will only use the official adventure as inspiration for your rewrite. ;-)
In general I think that using enough hand-outs, markers, cheap included dice, etc are decent value for their money.
So let me say I would rather see a Rogue One Expert Adventure Box with tons of modular encounter ideas, tokens, maps, stuff, etc and maybe those 2 pages on squadron combat as well as not everyone likes to buy 3 GM screens for just 2 pages ;-)
I agree with Donovan that I don't think we will see one.
But if there was such a thing, then
