  • Rogue One^[5]

Jyn Erso was a humanfemalesoldier and former criminal who became a pivotal member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic when she led Rogue One in stealing the Death Starplans during the Battle of Scarif. She was the daughter of Lyra Erso, a devout member of the Church of the Force, and scientistGalen Erso, who was forced into helping the Galactic Empire build the Death Star. Erso's mother was killed when DirectorOrson Krennic, the commander of the Death Star project, kidnapped her father—who affectionately referred to his daughter as 'Stardust.' She was raised by resistance fighter Saw Gerrera and became a child soldier in his army.

After being abandoned by the Partisans, Erso spent several years on her own, committing a number of crimes in order to survive in a dangerous galaxy. In 0 BBY, she was recruited by the Rebel Alliance to find Gerrera on Jedha, where he had information about Galen and the Death Star project. She found a holographic recording of her father who confirmed the existence of the Death Star and that the plans kept on Scarif would reveal a fatal weakness he planted in its design. She attempted to save her father on Eadu, but he was killed. With little support from the Rebel Alliance, Jyn and CaptainCassian Andor led a squad, Rogue One, to Scarif where they stole the plans from the Imperial security complex. She transmitted the plans to the Alliance Fleet that arrived in orbit, but the Death Star soon fired on Scarif in an attempt to eliminate the Rebel threat. Erso and Andor were the last surviving members of their squad, and they died when the blast reached the complex.

Erso was remembered fondly by the Rebel leader, Mon Mothma, who believed that she would have become an even more extraordinary person if she had survived. Her sacrifice was not in vain, however. The Rebel Alliance used the plans to discover the flaw Galen built into the battle station, and the weapon was destroyed by Luke Skywalker during the Battle of Yavin, starting a chain reaction which would see the doom of the Empire.

BiographyEdit

Early lifeEdit

Jyn Erso was born on the Outer Rimiceplanet of Vallt in 21 BBY during the Clone Wars to Galen Erso, a pacifist scientist working for Zerpen Industries, and Lyra Erso, Galen's wife and colleague in the company. Born within a Separatistprison due to her father's refusal to use his intelligence and knowledge of kyber crystals to help the Confederacy in their war against the Galactic Republic, Jyn spent approximately six months in the care of her mother and the caretakers of the complex. At that point, Jyn and her parents were unexpectedly ordered onto a carriage and sent to a spaceport where, to the surprise of her parents, Lieutenant CommanderOrson Krennic of the Republic Navy, who Galen knew from their time in the Republic's Futures Program, was waiting to extract them and bring them to Coruscant.^[1]

For the next several months, Jyn lived in an apartment in Coruscant's Galactic City while her father looked for work. As the Clone Wars approached its end, Jyn's father was notified by Krennic that he had been offered a position in Helical HyperCom on the planet Lokori. Accepting the offer, the Ersos moved to the world and settled there while Galen worked on the company's renewable energy project.^[1]

In 19 BBY, after several attacks by the Separatists on the planet, the Confederacy launched a large assault on the Helical HyperCom facility and the surrounding area. With a large force of B1 battle droids advancing on the complex, Jyn's parents fled the facility with her in a carrier into the surrounding settlement. With battles raging on multiple sides, the Ersos were rerouted by a group of clone troopers but were eventually surrounded. Climbing up a mound of rubble in front of a building, Lyra and Galen attempted to get atop the structure but found it was too tall. With the battle droids approaching and killing the remaining Lokori in the vicinity, Galen placed himself in front of Jyn and Lyra. To their surprise and relief however, the droids suddenly shut down. Unknown to them, the Clone Wars had just ended.^[1]

Age of the EmpireEdit

Living on CoruscantEdit

With the war over, the Republic was reorganized into the Galactic Empire by former Supreme Chancellor, now Emperor, Sheev Palpatine. Krennic, having convinced Galen to work for the Empire in a supposed kyber crystal sustainable energy project which was in fact a superweapon development program called Project Celestial Power, relocated the Erso family to the project's complex, built upon the former B'ankor Refuge. As Galen's work went on he became more distant from Jyn, who spent a lot of her time in the care of an MVnanny droid nicknamed 'Mac-Vee.' During this time, Jyn would watch bedtime holodramas, such as The Octave Stairway.^[1]

When she was three years old, Jyn, along with her mother, Has Obitt and Nari Sable, traveled to the Outer Rim planet of Alpinn on Krennic's request to help with the archeological project being conducted there. While there, Jyn would go exploring with the three of them and would revel in being at the center of attention back at the archeological camp. After returning to Coruscant, Jyn's father was more distant than ever, especially in regards to Lyra. Unbeknownst to Jyn, their indifference was a product of their conflicting views of Project Celestial Power, with each of her parents keeping secrets from the other.^[1]

Sometime later, Galen approached Jyn and asked her about a picture she was drawing, to which she told him it was a character from The Octave Stairway named Brin. Galen noticed the figure looked similar to him, and Jyn told him he could be Brin if he wanted. A sudden flush of regret and love washed over Galen as he expressed his regrets in not being around her more. Later, Galen and Lyra shared their doubts about Krennic and realized Galen's kyber research was in fact being used for nefarious ends. Knowing they could not merely resign, the pair decided to attempt an escape. Arranging an extraction point and time with Has Obitt, Galen and Lyra, with a four year-old Jyn in her arms, left the complex and struggled through the parading crowds. However, with Obitt having been caught by Krennic, the smuggler's colleague, former Onderonianfreedom fighterSaw Gerrera, met with the Ersos and led them to his ownstarship.^[1]

Leaving Coruscant, Jyn and Gerrera surveyed the stars from the front window of the ship. Confirming a suitable planet, Jyn and Gerrera told Galen and Lyra about a world they could go into hiding on: Lah'mu. Before departing into hyperspace, Gerrera handed Jyn's parents a com card that they could use to contact him if they ever felt the need. Though she was sad that she had to leave her toys and Mac-Vee behind, Jyn found comfort in the company of her parents and the fact she had found a new friend in Saw Gerrera.^[1]

Into hidingEdit

Jyn Erso Actress

For the next four years, Jyn lived with her parents in a homestead on the remote world of Lah'mu in order to avoid the Empire.^[4] In the event of compromise, the Ersos established a plan which involved a hatched room hidden underneath a rock that Jyn would escape to. This plan was put into effect^[5] in 13 BBY,^[4] when Orson Krennic, accompanied by a contingent of death troopers, arrived at their home. After contacting Saw Gerrera, Galen said a solemn goodbye to Jyn before heading out to face Krennic, while Lyra led Jyn around the back. Handing Jyn a kyber crystal pendant necklace, Lyra told Jyn to go to the hideout before leaving to also confront Krennic. However, Jyn decided to follow and hide in the long grass, watching as Lyra pulled a blaster pistol on Krennic. As he ordered his troopers to fire, Lyra managed to fire off one shot into Krennic's shoulder before being killed. Realizing it was time to get away, Jyn ran to the hideout as Krennic took Galen and ordered his death troopers to search for her.^[5]

After spending some time in the underground room, Jyn heard footsteps approaching above. When the hatch opened, she saw Gerrera standing there, who urged her to come out.^[5] Gerrera raised the young girl as his own daughter.^[6] For the next eight years, Jyn found a connection with the hardened warriors, becoming a soldier working for Gerrera's insurgents, whose actions were considered by many to be immoral,^[4] although Gerrera attempted to shield Jyn from some of the worst atrocities he and the others committed.^[6]

At the age of eleven, Erso accompanied Gerrera on a meeting with Enfys Nest and the Cloud-Riders, who offered him coaxium to aid in the fight against the Galactic Empire. Gerrera introduced Erso as his ward and Nest wondered why he would bring her to such a dangerous meeting. Gerrera replied that she needed to learn, and Nest advised Erso that people would underestimate her due to her age and suggested that she make them regret it. Later, as Nest boarded a shuttle to conduct further discussion with Gerrera, Erso whispered that Gerrera would underestimate her. Nest smiled, considering the girl a fast learner.^[7] At the age of twelve, Jyn met Arhul Nemo of the Commenor Underground, who considered her his favorite of Gerrera's militia.^[8]

Abandoned on Tamsye PrimeEdit

When Jyn was sixteen, she joined Gerrera and a group of Partisans on a mission to Tamsye Prime to scout out a old Clone Wars munitions factory that the Empire was using in hopes of a future, larger attack. Establishing a cover as tertiary units on a propaganda documentary filming on the site, Jyn forged the scandocs for their cover, giving herself the alias 'Kestrel Dawn.'^[9]

They arrived on site, only to be betrayed by one of their own, Reece Tallent, who also suspected Jyn's true identity. The remaining Partisans fought their way out out the trap and the Empire's planned destruction of the factory, but with the Empire behind them, Gerrera gave Jyn a small blaster and ordered her to hide in an old shell turret until daylight. Believing that he would come back for her, Jyn watched from the bunker as Gerrera dealt with the traitorous Tallent, then left for the spaceport, leaving her alone.^[9] Being discarded like that would leave Jyn with little capacity to trust others^[5] and nursing bitter feelings and hatred for the two fathers who had abandoned her.^[6]

Escaping Tamsye PrimeEdit

Realizing that Gerrera was not coming back for her and that the Imperials would lay waste to Tamsye Prime to eliminate the witnesses, Jyn left the bunker to find that Tallent's ship was still docked, with her satchel of spare clothes, truncheons, and code replicator. Enlisting the help of a young man trying to find an escape ship, Jyn and her new passenger escaped the world. Realizing that the Imperials would work out that their ship had used forged codes to leave, the man directed them to junkers he had contact with to sell the ship so it could be taken apart and the trail erased. Splitting the money fifty fifty, Jyn and her pilot parted ways.^[9]

Not knowing the name of the world she was on, Jyn wandered to the spaceport looking for passage off-world. Introducing herself as 'Jyn Dawn,' she arranged passage on a freighter ship operated by one Akshaya Ponta in exchange for repairing a broken droid (Jyn lied about knowing how to fix it). En route, Jyn used her forging skills to help Ponta evade an Imperial ship. Grateful, Ponta offered to let Jyn stay with her and her family on Skuhl for a while and get back on her feet.^[9]

A new homeEdit

Settling in with Ponta, who had a son about Jyn's age, Hadder, Jyn offered to help forge useful documents for Ponta's shipping business, but found herself with a lot of free time on her hands, something she wasn't used to. Jyn and Hadder established a rapport over time. With Hadder's interest in flying and space travel being forbidden, the duo began clandestine flights on the Ponta's planet hopper when Hadder's mother was away on business.^[9]

First loveEdit

As the months went by, Jyn adapted to her new life, moving on from everything about her old one as a freedom fighter (save for her forging skills). She and Hadder, who had taken something of an interest in her from the beginning, began to grow closer.^[9]

During one of their secret flights, Hadder took Jyn to a field for a picnic. While eating, he explained that he was thinking about joining a resistance group, since it would give him the chance to fly, and wanted to know if Jyn would come with him. Not wanting to get involved with another Rebel group and happy with life as it was, Jyn told him that she wouldn't. Hadder decided that, even if it meant giving up a chance to fly, he would rather stay with her. This confession lead to the two admitting that they had feelings for each other and started their relationship.^[9]

Imperial crackdownEdit

However, when the couple came back to the Ponta's home, they found Akshaya Ponta waiting for them; the Empire was beginning to crack down on Skuhl. While the elder Ponta didn't want to leave the home that she had made for her family (biological and surrogate), Jyn and Hadder realized that there was no way to get around it. As the Empire began to tighten its grip, the young lovers eventually convinced Akshaya were eventually forced to make preparations to leave for the Five Points system to make a new start.^[9]

Unfortunately, the night before they planned to leave, stormtroopers arrived at the home, suspecting that Jyn was the same 'Jyn' involved with the rebels at the Tamsye Prime factory incident. All three managed to escape, although they were separated. Jyn took the planet hopper while Hadder and his mother took the freighter. With the space around Skuhl a battle zone between the Empire and rebel fighters, the freighter was destroyed, killing Hadder and Akshaya, leaving Jyn to arrive at the Five Pointsstation by herself. The deaths of two more people she cared for (especially since Hadder hadn't left with a rebel group before the fighting started because of her), left guilt that Jyn carried with her.^[9]

Jin Erso Star Wars

Life as a criminalEdit

Orphaned for a third time, Jyn spend the next five years focusing on survival, becoming a street figure, smuggler, and petty criminal. She wandered through the galaxy, using and discarding aliases such as Liana Hallik, Tanith Ponta,^[4] Lyra Rallik, and Nari McVee to hide her true identity.^[8] When arrested, Jyn was able to escape from prison, either through help from friends outside or by bribing (or lying about a bribing) security guards.^[6]

As the years blurred together, she worked on a Tibannagas tanker in the Anoatsystem, wandered between the Mid Rim worlds Cerea and Coyerti, spent a year on Takodana, and worked for an extensive period of time forging codes for a freighter, before transferring to a planet-based job.^[9] Once she had planned a scheme against a 'petty dictator' that involved blowing up his ship and stealing the guns in his possession. The crime failed and she was arrested. The dictator had her dragged through the streets and locked in holding, with the stormtroopers using the most brutal treatment allowed, such as pointing rifles at her and using stun prods.^[6]

While visiting Garel City, Jyn would exhibit her heroic nature that would become more clear later in her life. Erso was buying fruit from an Ortolanmerchant when she heard two stormtroopers forcibly seizing a pet Tooka-cat from a young girl. Jyn hurled the fruit she had at one of the stormtroopers. She assaulted the stormtroopers and fled with the Tooka-cat down an alleyway. The stormtroopers were joined by two reinforcements, so Jyn hid beside a rubbish bin with the cat. As the stormtroopers approached, she shot the drainage hatch with her blaster, causing the stormtroopers to fall into the drain. Jyn returned the pet to the grateful girl who asked her what was her name. Jyn identified herself as Jyn Erso before walking away.^[10]

By the time she was twenty-one, Jyn's rap sheet included warrants for forgery of Imperial documents (listed twice on the rap sheet the Rebel Alliance recovered), aggravated assault against Imperial personnel, escape from custody, resisting arrest, shipjacking, possession of unsanctioned weapons, unlawful conduct with undesirables, petty theft, creating a public nuisance, and disorderly conduct. Notably, none of her crimes involved harming or conning civilians—her only targets were Imperial personnel and other criminals.^[8] Despite her rough life, Jyn was also not a murderer, killing only in self-defense, defense of others, or in war.^[6] In 1 BBY, one year before joining the Rebellion and her ultimate sacrifice, Erso's voice was heard by PadawanEzra Bridger inside a place between time and space.^[11]

IncarcerationEdit

In 0 BBY,^[12] Jyn's luck ran out. She was arrested on a ship in the Five Points System while using her Liana Hallik alias.^[9] She was eventually transferred to the Imperial labor camp on the planet Wobani,^[5] sentenced to twenty years of labor in the planets farms, sharing a cell with a non-human known as 'Kennel.'^[6]

Jyn's only luck was that the Imperials thought she really was Liana Hallik, not realizing her true identity and that they let her keep her kyber crystal necklace, mistaking it for a piece of glass.^[9] However, Jyn estimated that she would be dead long before her sentence was up; five years was the maximum life expectancy of a Wobani inmate, she had no friends to rescue her, no guards she could bribe, and Kennel had promised to kill her the next time they were assigned to the same work shift. Jyn hadn't even been able to smuggle a knife to protect herself.^[6]

Rescue by the AllianceEdit

In the sixth month of Jyn's incarceration,^[9] while being transported to her work station one day, the vehicle Jyn was aboard was attacked by Extraction Team Bravo of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. After identifying Jyn, SergeantRuescott Melshi released her from her restraints but was distracted by a prisoner seated opposite, giving Jyn a chance to kick the Rebel over (Jyn had wondered if her 'rescuers' were actually sent by Saw because she knew too much about his operations).^[6] Heading for the door, Jyn punched a second Rebel trooper to the ground before grabbing a shovel from the side wall of the transport, using it to strike the sergeant and the third Bravo Team soldier. Running outside to escape, Erso was clotheslined by former Imperial^[5]KX-series security droid^[13]K-2SO who threw her to the ground and told her not to resist, informing her that she was being rescued.^[5]

Having been brought to the Rebel Alliance's secret base on the moon of Yavin 4, Jyn was handed over to GeneralDavits Draven and a founder of the Alliance, Mon Mothma. After reading out her criminal record, Draven introduced Jyn to Alliance Intelligenceofficer, CaptainCassian Andor, who asked her when she was last in contact with her father and Saw Gerrera. Confused, irritated and only willing to give vague answers, Jyn demanded explanation. The trio told her that an Imperial defector claimed to have been tasked by her father to pass information to the Rebel Alliance pertaining to a planet-destroying superweapon.^[5]

Because of her history with Gerrera, Draven and Mothma asked her to meet with him on the moon Jedha, an Imperial occupied world held sacred by followers of the mystical energy field known as the Force, to acquire the message in the hopes of locating and extracting Galen to testify to the Imperial Senate. Given a choice between assisting the Rebels and being given her freedom or refusing and being returned to prison, Jyn chose the former. What she wasn't aware of, however, was that Andor had instead been tasked with assassinating Galen by General Draven, who did not trust either Jyn or her father to help them.^[5]

Jyn was sent to the UT-60D U-wing starfighter/support craft that she, Andor and K-2SO would be using for the mission. While waiting, Jyn rummaged through a duffle belonging to Andor, helping herself to a pistol she found in it.^[6] When Andor arrived, K-2SO brought to his attention attention that Jyn was armed. Not willing to take the risk, Andor ordered her to hand the blaster over. Refusing, Jyn told him trust goes both ways, convincing Andor to allow her to keep it, even after K-2SO remarked that there was a very high likelihood of Jyn using it on him.^[5]

Mission to JedhaEdit

Arriving at Jedha, Jyn and Andor agreed that Kaytoo should stay behind on the ship so that they could blend into the crowds of the Holy City more easily. After entering the city, Jyn was surprised to find that Andor was relying on the hope of her name being enough to get a meeting with Saw, being told in response that 'Rebellions are built on hope.' Shortly after, Jyn encountered Chirrut Îmwe, a blind male human who called her over. Îmwe told her about the Guardians of the Whills and their great temple, and how the Empire was at Jedha for the planet's kyber crystals. Her conversation was cut short when Andor called her over, telling her to keep her focus on the mission.^[5]

Walking further, the pair came out onto a street where they noticed an Imperial combat assault tank guarded by several stormtroopers approaching. Out of the corner of her eye, Jyn spotted several people armed with weapons atop the surrounding buildings. Suddenly the Imperials were attacked from all sides. After getting to cover, Jyn noticed a child stranded in the midst of the engagement. Running to retrieve the girl, Jyn handed her over to^[5] her mother^[4] but was subsequently trapped on either side by Imperial forces. Andor, spotting one of the insurgents preparing to throw an explosive, shot the rebel, causing him to fall and detonate the explosive inside a group of insurgents, providing enough distraction for Jyn to escape to cover. With the insurgents neutralizing the last of the Imperial forces surrounding the tank, they retrieved the kyber crystals being transported on-board.^[5]

As Jyn and Andor tried to escape, a group of stormtroopers caught up with them. Finding cover in the indent of a building, Jyn extended her baton and struck a pair of stormtroopers down; using a scavenged E-11 blaster rifle, Jyn fired at another pair of troopers approaching from around the corner before turning and shooting a^[5] KX-series security droid.^[13] Unsure if she had just killed K-2SO, the droid fell revealing the true Kaytoo standing behind, chagrined at the fact that she might have shot him. Walking over to one of the stormtroopers recovering from being struck by Jyn, Kaytoo caught the soldier's grenade mid-flight and threw it backwards into a group of approaching troopers, all the while chastising them for their decision to leave him on the ship.^[5]

Rounding a corner, the trio found themselves in front of another stormtrooper patrol. One of the stormtroopers ordered Kaytoo to tell him where he was taking the 'prisoners.' Before they were able to give an answer, the troopers told Kaytoo they will handle the prisoners. Before they could however, the blind monk that had spoken to Jyn approached the group. Ordered to stay back by one of the stormtroopers, Îmwe kept walking. As the troopers fired, the robed man used his hands and his staff strike the soldiers down, using some of them as cover from blaster bolts. When the last trooper was down, another group came around the corner but were suddenly killed when a human named Baze Malbus, armed with aheavy repeater cannon, came up from behind. With the fighting ended, several of Gerrera's insurgents approached. Jyn demanded that she speak with Gerrera, telling the rebels that she was Galen Erso's daughter. Speaking in an alienlanguage, one of the insurgents ordered they all be restrained and brought to Gerrera.^[5]

Having arrived by foot at Gerrera's hidden base far from the city, Andor, Îmwe and Malbus, were placed in a cell adjacent to the one holding the Imperial defector, while Jyn was led to Gerrera. Coming face to face, Gerrera greeted her but noticed her obvious anger. Asking if they were still friends, Jyn scolded him for abandoning her, to which Gerrera defended himself by telling her that her history endangered him and his insurgency, just as much as she was endangered by being with them. Asking why she was at Jedha, Jyn explained the task she was set by the Alliance.

Taking out a small holoprojector, Gerrera placed it on the ground and activated it, producing a hologram recording of Jyn's father. The message played, revealing that Galen had accepted a job to develop the superweapon equipped battle station, which the Empire was calling the 'Death Star,' in order to purposefully engineer a flaw in the form of a vulnerable thermal exhaust port leading directly to the station's reactor. Galen went on to speak directly to his daughter, causing Jyn to burst into tears. He said that in order to find the exhaust port, one had to steal the station's plans. As the message ended, the building began to shake violently and Andor, who had escaped with Îmwe, Malbus and the former Imperial pilot, Bodhi Rook, ran up to her and told her that they needed to leave. Regaining composure, Jyn told Gerrera to come with them, but he refused, telling her that he was done running. As the group escaped towards the vast wall of rubble created by the Death Star's test firing on the holy city, Kaytoo landed the U-wing in front of them and allowed the five of them to board the vessel before escaping into hyperspace.^[5]

While in hyperspace, Andor received a transmission from the Alliance informing him that the assassination operation was still in effect. With Bodhi having informed them that Galen was currently located on the storm-stricken planet of Eadu, Jyn told them about the hologram message and that they need to find him. However, Andor had doubts and asked her if she had the message on her. Jyn told him everything happened so fast during their escape, and that she didn't have a chance to retrieve it. Asking if anyone else saw the message, Andor received shaking heads, causing Jyn to become angry and admonish them for not believing her.^[5]

Encounter on EaduEdit

Entering Eadu's stormy atmosphere, Kaytoo and Andor struggled to guide the vessel between the planet's immense rock pillars as they listened to Rook's vague directions. As they approached the Imperial Flight Station, the U-wing's right engine hit one of the cliffs, causing the ship to crash. Confirming no-one was injured or killed, Andor proceeded to depart with Rook, telling the group they were leaving to conduct reconnaissance. However, in reality, Andor was leaving to assassinate Galen. Unwilling to stay in the U-wing, Jyn left to follow them, while Îmwe and Malbus in turn followed her. Upon reaching a cliff that Andor and Rook had passed, Jyn surveyed the shuttle depot ahead and realized her father was likely there, and so headed for the ladder leading up to the platform.

Suddenly, Krennic's shuttle passed overhead, landing at the end of a platform. When she reached the top, Jyn pulled a stormtrooper off the edge and picked up his blaster rifle. Before she could do anything however, the platform was attacked by Rebel AllianceX-wing starfighters that had been sent after the group's presumed demise, with the attack killing most of the stormtroopers. As Krennic ordered Galen into the shuttle, Jyn shouted out to her father. When Galen tried to comprehend what he was seeing, he was struck by a blast from a Y-wing'sproton torpedo. As Jyn lay on the ground, Krennic hastily looked back before boarding his shuttle. As the black vessel turned, Jyn made her way over to her father but was pushed back by the force of the shuttle's sublight engines. However, she managed to hold on to the edge of the platform. Getting back atop the platform, Jyn ran over to a fatally injured Galen and tuned him over. Jyn told him that she got his message and after a brief exchange, Galen died in her arms.^[5]

Andor, who had spotted Jyn through the scope of hisA280-CFE blaster, came up to Jyn and told her they needed to leave, telling her Galen was dead and that she couldn't do anything about it. As they regrouped, a squad of stormtroopers caught up with them and were preparing to fire. However, an Imperial Cargo Shuttle piloted by Rook and Kaytoo rose up behind the Rebels, taking out the stormtroopers with its forward laser cannons. After all the Rebels were aboard, the shuttle took off, heading for Yavin 4. As they traveled through hyperspace, Jyn confronted Andor, realizing he was going to kill her father. Andor became angry and told her that some don't have the luxury to make their own choices and that, even though he had the chance to, he didn't kill Galen.^[5]

Return to YavinEdit

Arriving back at the Rebel base, a meeting of the Alliance Cabinet was held to discuss how the Rebellion should deal with the Death Star. Most of the group agreed that, against such a destructive weapon, the Alliance stood no chance of stealing the plans and that the word of a 'criminal' was not enough to take such a risk. Jyn interjected, telling them it wasn't a matter of chance, but one of choice and that if they let such power remain in the hands of such an evil government then they condemn the galaxy indefinitely to a future of oppression. Her speech was enough to sway many of the council members, but without full support from everyone, the chances were too great and no action could be taken. Irritated with the council's unwillingness to act, Jyn stormed off.^[5]

Inside one of the Great Temple's hangars, Andor approached Jyn with a group of Rebel Marines behind him. Agreeing with her that they have to do something, Andor offered his service, telling her he couldn't live with himself if he gave up. Îmwe, Malbus and Rook soon followed suit, with Kaytoo telling her he would fight with her, but only because Andor said he had to. Boarding their appropriated Imperial shuttle, the group prepared for takeoff but received a message from an Alliance member telling them they were not cleared to leave the base and that they had to give a callsign. Desperately trying to think of one, Rook replied with 'Rogue One,' but was told there was no 'Rogue One.' Before the Alliance member could say another word, Rook lifted the ship off the ground and took off from the moon and plotted a course for Scarif, the location of the Death Star plans.^[5]

Galactic Civil WarEdit

Infiltrating ScarifEdit

As the shuttle exited hyperspace, Scarif and its enveloping planetarydeflector shield came into view. As they headed towards the Shield Gate that would allow them access to the surface, Rook notified gate control and requested a landing pad. After informing them that their arrival was not scheduled, Rook told thegate officer that they had been rerouted from Eadu and ordered Kaytoo to transmit the clearance codes. As they waited for a reply, Jyn clutched her kyber crystal. A few seconds later, the reply came through, and they were granted entry. As everyone expressed their relief, Jyn headed into the cargo section to tell the others.^[5] While there, she was approached by Special ForcesLieutenantTaidu Sefla who expressed his concern that the troops would have trouble respecting her without legitimate authority. Thus, Jyn became an official member of the Alliance with the rank of sergeant.^[6] Jyn proceeded to address the Marines on the situation while Andor detailed the mission and their role in it.^[5]

After the shuttle settled down on landing pad nine, an inspection crew consisting of two stormtroopers, an officer, and a ground technician, boarded. When they descended into the cargo bay to check the ship's supposed manifest, the four Imperials were taken out. After donning their disguises, Jyn and Andor along with Kaytoo left for the facility while the Marines sneaked out through the underside the ship. While the trio headed through the complex, the others began preparing for the diversion by planting explosives at various landing pads. Finding a lone KX-series droid, Kaytoo accessed its data banks and retrieved a map of the complex. Discovering there were too many stormtroopers to make it to the data vault, Andor ordered Melshi to detonate the explosives to divert the Imperial forces away.^[5]

Making it without resistance to the data vault, Kaytoo knocked out thetechnician in charge of the vault and assumed control over the computer. After opening the door, Kaytoo informed them that the Alliance Fleet had amassed over Scarif and that the Shield Gate had been closed. When Jyn realized they were trapped, Kaytoo suggested transmitting the plans but told them that the size of the data files meant that the shield would have to be taken down to in order to send them to the fleet. Before she left into the vault, Jyn handed Kaytoo a blaster pistol recovered from the unconscious Putna and the droid told her that her behavior was continually unexpected.

As Jyn and Andor skimmed through the files in search of the plans, a group of stormtroopers approached Kaytoo and saw the technician's body on the floor. Kaytoo attempted to divert the stormtroopers to supposed 'Rebels,' but Andor asked through comms why he had closed the vault door, forcing the droid to take out the soldiers. Jyn continued to search through the files and stopped at 'stardust,' the same nickname her father gave her, and realized that they must be the plans. As Kaytoo tried to fight off stormtrooper reinforcements, he read out the, and that she'd just 'told the entire galaxy how to light it.' Krennic dismissed this, reminding Jyn that the shield was still up and that he'd kill her before she cold transmit the plans to the other Rebels. However, before he could, Andor emerged and shot Krennic, rendering him unconscious. Jyn ran over to the console and managed to transmit the plans to the Rebel vessel Profundity before going over to Andor to brace him. Following the captain's gaze to Krennic, Jyn tried to run over to him in anger but was stopped by Andor, who calmed her down. Unknown to them, Îmwe, Malbus and Bodhi had all already died.^[5]

DeathEdit

Exiting the turbolift onto the beach, Jyn and Andor looked into the distance to see that the Death Star had fired its superlaser at a point several kilometers away. Knowing that the plans were safe with the Alliance, Jyn accepted her fate as the resulting blast approached them, and she and Andor shared one last embrace before being engulfed^[5] and becoming one with the Force.^[6]

LegacyEdit

Jyn's determination and bravery led to her becoming one of the most important figures of the war. Her actions allowed the Rebel Alliance to exploit the Death Star's weakness with the help of Luke Skywalker^[14] and pave the way for the Empire's defeat at the Battle of Jakkufive years later.^[15] She was also part of the catalyst that lead the Rebel Alliance becoming a truly unified force instead of the unstable conglomeration that existed prior.^[6]

Ubin Des revered Jyn and lamented that she was unable to join her at Scarif having been confined to sick bay at the time. Having been told only a little about the mission, Luke Skywalker wished to know more about the late rebel.^[16]

In retrospect, the popular assessment of Jyn's choice to go on the mission to Scarif was with the deliberate intent of becoming a martyr, having lost everything. Mothma herself strongly disagreed. In her writings, when talking about her two brief meetings with Jyn, Mothma presented the case that Jyn had wanted to put the best and worst qualities of herself to a cause she found worthy and found that in the Scarif mission. While admitting that she didn't know for sure what would've happened, Mothma also expressed the opinion that Jyn would've gone on to an extraordinary life had she lived.^[6]

Jyn Erso was remembered long after the Galactic Civil War and was mentioned alongside Krennic and K-2SO by a member of the Whills as someone to be remembered in galactic history.^[17]

Personality and traitsEdit

Standing at 1.6 meters in height,^[4] Jyn Erso was a human female with short brown hair, green eyes, and light skin.^[5] Even as a small child, Jyn began developing a rebellious attitude^[1] but had a clear sense of right and wrong gained from her parents while growing up on Lah'mu.^[4] During her time with Saw Gerrera's insurgents, she developed a strong bond with the extremists. After being abandoned at sixteen, Jyn was forced to adapt and developed fighting skills and a keen knowledge of the galactic underworld.^[4] Initially, Jyn cared little about the Rebels' cause, but after watching the hologram message from her father, Jyn realized how important it was that the Empire be rid from the galaxy and sacrificed herself for their cause.^[5]

As a result of being trained by Saw Gerrera and being abandoned, she wielded a calm yet cold demeanor in interactions with others or when completing tasks. That being said, the pain she held on to was expressed when seeing her father's hologram message, becoming teary-eyed, falling to her knees once the message had finished. In addition, she was aggressive and distrusting, fighting off the Rebellion squad that was sent to rescue her, and keeping others at arms length until the battle at Scarif. Despite her aggressive and cold demeanor, she showed herself to be selfless and caring, saving a child from death during a battle against stormtroopers on Jedha.^[5]

Jyn's relationship with Andor was complicated, as the two didn't trust one another when meeting. After learning that the Alliance ordered him to kill Galen, she learned of his experience from the war, and the two would later become respectful allies once they disobeyed orders and headed to Scarif. Her relationship with K-2S0 was distasteful, with the latter having restrained her when she attacked the squad that was sent to rescue her. Despite this, K-2S0 showed himself to care for Jyn, saying he would do anything for her, and sacrificing himself for her and Andor in his last moments.^[5]

Behind the scenesEdit

Jyn Erso was created by John Knoll for the 2016filmRogue One: A Star Wars Story. Knoll created the character as a role model for his daughters and developed her as part of his original story for the film, circa 2003.^[18]Felicity Jones was announced to play the role on March 12, 2015.^[19] The first photo of Jyn was released during the 2015 D23 Expo,^[20] and the first footage of the character was shown in the Rogue One teaser trailer on April 7, 2016.^[21] While Jyn appeared in trailers facing a recitation of a list of past crimes and stating 'This is a rebellion, isn't it? I rebel', this scene was ultimately cut from the final film.^[22]

Beau Gadsdon played^[5] eight-year-old^[4] Jyn in the opening scenes of the film, while Dolly Gadsdon played^[5] four-year-old^[1] Jyn in the flashback scenes on Coruscant.^[5]

Felicity Jones reprised her role in the first season of the animated microseries, Star Wars: Forces of Destiny. In later appearances, Jyn's voice was provided by Helen Sadler.^[source?]

In an earlier draft of Rogue One, Jyn was to be given the rank of sergeant. This was cut from the final film, although several pieces of merchandise still identified her as 'Sergeant Jyn Erso'.^[23] Upon the movie's release, Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide^[4] and the film's novelization confirmed that Jyn was in fact given the rank of sergeant by Lieutenant Taidu Sefla during the team's descent onto Scarif.^[6]

DiscrepanciesEdit

Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide states that Jyn was born in 22 BBY;^[4] however, Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel states Jyn was born sometime after the Second Battle of Geonosis,^[1] which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 21 BBY.^[24]

Character[edit]

Origins[edit]

Industrial Light & Magicchief creative officerJohn Knoll, credited for the story of Rogue One, told Vanity Fair in 2016 that he conceived the plot of the film while working as a visual effects supervisor on the 2005 film Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. Hearing about the development of a live-action Star Wars television series, he conceived a story, inspired by a plot point mentioned in the opening crawl of the original 1977 film Star Wars, which would eventually become Rogue One. Knoll envisioned Jyn as a female protagonist who could be an inspiration for his daughters.^[1] The casting of Felicity Jones in the role of Jyn was announced on March 12, 2015.^[2]

Portrayal[edit]

In January 2015, The Hollywood Reporter stated that numerous actresses, including Tatiana Maslany, Rooney Mara, and Felicity Jones were being tested for the lead role in Rogue One, the first stand-alone Star Wars film.^[3] In February 2015, it was reported that Jones was in final talks to star in the film,^[4] and her official casting was announced in March 2015.^[2]

Description[edit]

Jyn is the daughter of Galen Erso, a scientist forced by the Empire to develop their Death Star superweapon. Young Jyn escapes when Galen is captured and his wife Lyra is killed by Imperial forces.^[5][6] She grows up under the watch of 'extremist militant' Saw Gerrera, who also mentored and trained her in military combat.^[6][7]IGN's Eric Goldman wrote that she has 'put up a brash, stern wall to protect herself, thanks to a traumatic childhood'.^[8] Chris Barsanti of PopMatters added that Jyn's childhood tragedy leaves her 'just cynical and bereft enough to make her hold out a respectable length of time before agreeing to assist the Rebel Alliance'.^[9] Writing for Vanity Fair, Hilary Busis suggested that with Jyn's backstory, the film was drawing on 'the Star Wars franchise's greatest natural resource: daddy issues'.^[10]

The Daily Telegraph described Jyn as 'a roguish, Han Solo-style heroine',^[11] and Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter called the character 'a female warrior driven by destiny to take on the mightiest power in the galaxy'.^[12] Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly described Jyn as a 'fierce fighter' and 'rallying leader'.^[13]A. O. Scott wrote in The New York Times that in Rogue One, 'Jyn's idealistic Jedi-ish tendencies are at first checked by a hint of Bogart-esque cynicism. She's suspicious of the rebels and contemptuous of the Empire, and has complicated feelings about Saw Gerrera'.^[7]Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called Jyn 'a born rebel',^[14] and Richard Brody of The New Yorker noted that 'though Jyn had never exhibited any spirit of revolt', coming together with Gerrera and the rebels results in 'Jyn's transition from an apolitical survivor to an active rebel'.^[5]

Film[edit]

Rogue One[edit]

Rogue One was released in December 2016, with Felicity Jones in the role of Jyn. In the film, scientist Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen) is pressed into the service of the Empire against his will. When he is captured and his wife Lyra (Valene Kane) is killed, their young daughter Jyn escapes and hides in the bunker. She is later rescued by a Rebel extremist named Saw Gerrera (Forest Whitaker) who cared for her after Galen's capture

Fifteen years later, Jyn is being held in Imperial custody on several criminal charges, but the Rebel Alliance frees her during a prisoner transport on the planet Wobani. They seek her help in contacting Saw Gerrera and persuading him to turn over information he has received about a powerful new weapon being developed by the Empire. Accompanied by Rebel intelligence operative Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) and the reprogrammed Imperial enforcer droidK-2SO (Alan Tudyk), Jyn travels to the desert moon Jedha and reconnects with Saw, who shows her a holographic message that Galen recorded for her. Galen explains that he has secretly given the Imperial superweapon, called the Death Star, a fatal flaw that can be exploited to destroy it. Jyn and her comrades, joined by the defecting Imperial pilot who brought the message, Bodhi Rook (Riz Ahmed), and a pair of local warriors, flee as the Empire's Death Star, an armored battle station the size of a small moon, destroys Jedha's capital.

They track Galen to his research facility on Eadu, where he and Jyn are briefly reunited just before he dies in a Rebel attack. Galvanized, Jyn proposes a mission to steal the schematics for the Death Star, stored on the planet Scarif, but the council of Rebel leaders will not support it. Jyn and her team, joined by Rebel volunteers, sneak away under the callsign 'Rogue One' to infiltrate the Imperial facility. She and Andor succeed in stealing and transmitting the plans, but the Death Star fires on the planet near the base in a too-late effort to stop them. Jyn and Andor embrace each other as they are engulfed by a fireball and killed.

Chris Barsanti of PopMatters noted that 'Jyn's backstory also helps answer a question that's plagued fans ever since 1977: why did the Empire spend all that time and all those resources building a moon-sized space station only to leave one rather glaring and easily exploited vulnerability?'^[9]IndieWire's David Ehrlich suggested that the film 'is ultimately just a glorified excuse to retcon some sense into one of the silliest things about the original.'^[15]

Animated series[edit]

Forces of Destiny[edit]

Jyn is also featured in Star Wars Forces of Destiny, an animated web series focusing on female heroes including Princess Leia and Ahsoka Tano.^[16] In the episode 'The Stranger', Jyn witnesses a little girl's cat being confiscated by stormtroopers. Jyn intervenes, snatching the pet and leading the pursuing stormtroopers to fall into drain, and then returns the cat to the girl. Jyn reappears in the series in the episode, 'Accidental Allies,' where she encounters Sabine Wren from Star Wars Rebels. During the episode, Jyn picks up a holo-map stolen by Sabine that contains crucial intelligence, but is forced to flee when stormtroopers mistake Jyn as the actual thief. When Sabine realizes she has lost the map, she helps Jyn evade the stormtroopers and shares her own experience of working alone to persuade Jyn to give her the map. After some reflection, Jyn agrees and the women part ways. Jyn reappears once more in the episode 'Jyn's Trade', where she helps a young thief learn a valuable life lesson. She was voiced by Felicity Jones in the first season and Helen Sadler in the second season.^[17]

Novels[edit]

Jyn is introduced as a child in the prequel novel Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel by James Luceno, published in November 2016. In the novel, Republic Lieutenant Commander Orson Krennic saves his old friend Galen Erso and his family from a coup, and enlists the scientist to develop energy technology using kyber crystals that would ostensibly be applied to altruistic purposes. The research is actually necessary for the successful construction of Emperor Palpatine's secret superweapon, the Death Star. Galen and his wife Lyra begin to suspect Krennic's ulterior motives, and plot to free themselves and their daughter Jyn from his grasp.^[18][19]

Jyn appears as the main character in the novel Rebel Rising by Beth Revis. This novel takes place between the prologue and main narrative of Rogue One.

Novelizations of the films[edit]

Jyn appears in the novelization of Rogue One by Alexander Freed.^[20] Saw Gerrera appears with an eleven year old Jyn Erso, in the novelization of the film Solo: A Star Wars Story. The short appearance reveals that Enfys Nest was stealing the fuel for Saw.^[21]

Related works and merchandising[edit]

Jyn is a playable character in the 2015 actionshooter video gameStar Wars Battlefront, as part of the 2016 downloadable content (DLC) Rogue One: Scarifexpansion pack.^[22] She is voiced by Helen Sadler.^[23] Jyn also appears as a character in the strategy video gameStar Wars: Force Arena.^[24]

Reception[edit]

A. O. Scott of The New York Times wrote, 'Felicity Jones is a fine addition to the Star Wars tradition of tough-minded, quick-thinking heroines.'^[7]Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian noted that 'Jones is in the tousled-yet-game tradition of Star Wars female leads, like Carrie Fisher or Daisy Ridley: well-born but determined, with a sense of purpose befitting an heiress, if not a princess.'^[25] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called Jones 'smashing' and her Jyn 'a female warrior to rank with the great ones',^[14] and Justin Chang of the Los Angeles Times praised Jones for her 'sympathetic ferocity' in the role.^[6] IndieWire's David Ehrlich compared Jyn to Rey (Ridley) from The Force Awakens, and described her as 'indistinguishable from the bland and plucky heroine of Episode VII save for her privileged disillusionment'.^[15]

Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly called Jyn 'the kind role model any moviegoing parent would want to expose their daughters (and sons) to', adding that 'Jones plays her with a fiery warmth that turns her into more than just a pawn piece going through the larger storytelling paces. She makes her human.'^[13] Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post wrote that 'Jones presents a convincing, if monotonously self-serious, heroine', noting the actress' physical resemblance to Ridley and speculating that their characters could be related.^[26]The Hollywood Reporter's Graeme McMillan criticized the character for her passive role in the film's plot, calling her 'a void where the movie's heart should live'. McMillan speculated that the character was a possible 'casualty' of Rogue One's reshoots.^[27]
