Jyn Erso is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise, portrayed by English actress Felicity Jones in the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Jyn aids the Rebel Alliance in a desperate attempt to steal the plans to the Death Star, a weapon of the Galactic Empire with enough power to destroy an entire planet.
But, in one odd moment, Rogue One ends with a Leia Organa cameo that feels a little off. The filmmakers CGI-pasted '80s-era Carrie Fisher on a double's face, and the results are what you'd expect: A weird, glossy sheen on Leia's face, and buggy eyes that look taken from a poorly-rendered video game cutscene.
Jyn Erso is one of the protagonists of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The daughter of Galen Erso, she served as a Sergeant with the squadron Rogue One after a difficult childhood spent struggling to survive. Jyn was born in 21 BBY to Galen and Lyra Erso.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story's Jyn (Felicity Jones) had a similar backstory to Rey (Daisy Ridley) in an early version of the script, so they changed it.
Four years later, the Empire found the Erso family, resulting in Saw Gerrera's rescue of 8-year-old Jyn. When she died as part of the heroic sacrifice for the Rebel Alliance on Scarif, it was 0 BBY, indicating Jyn Erso's age was around 21.
Jyn Erso, known by the aliases Kestrel Dawn, Jyn Dawn, Tanith Ponta, Liana Hallik, Lyra Rallik, and Nari McVee, was a human female soldier and former criminal who became a pivotal member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic when she led Rogue One in stealing the Death Star plans during the Battle of Scarif.
Jyn Erso was born the daughter of Lyra Erso, herself a former Jedi Knight of the Old Jedi Order, and a devoted member of the Church of the Force; her father was the scientist Galen Erso. Although her mother was a former Jedi, Jyn was only mildly connected to the Force, thus making her Force-Attuned.
Andor, also known as Star Wars: Andor, is an American science fiction television series created by Tony Gilroy for the streaming service Disney+. It is part of the Star Wars franchise and a prequel to the film Rogue One (2016), which in turn is a prequel to the original Star Wars film (1977).
It's the first standalone Star Wars story that doesn't fit directly in the Darth Vader-Luke-Rey storyline. Rogue One is set just before A New Hope and introduces an entirely new cast of characters—Rebel spies who set out to steal the plans to the Death Star.
Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) dies at the end of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but the original plan was to have her survive. The Jyn Erso death scene and the deaths of the other members operating under the callsign “Rogue One” has often split fans.
Orson later flew to Galen's research center, as expected. He informed the scientists, including Galen Erso, that one of them is a traitor. When Galen admitted he was the traitor, and not any of his scientists, Orson shot and killed all of Galen's scientists, and hit Galen on the face.
In Rogue One (2016), Mon Mothma (O'Reilly) and senator Bail Organa (Smits) are Rebel leaders who enlist Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones), a young renegade woman sent to a work camp for her crimes against the Empire, to help identify and extract her father, scientist Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen), from Imperial confinement.
What does Princess Leia say at the end of Rogue One?
Leia, however, was a different story altogether, and now details have been revealed about how the filmmakers constructed her single line of dialogue in the movie - "Hope." - that she says in the final scene.
Padmé Amidala was a courageous, hopeful leader, serving as Queen and then Senator of Naboo -- and was also handy with a blaster. Despite her ideals and all she did for the cause of peace, her secret, forbidden marriage to Jedi Anakin Skywalker would prove to have dire consequences for the galaxy.
This Jedi is none other than Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Jedi Master who trained Anakin Skywalker and is himself one of the very cruxes of the prequel trilogy. Just before Bail Organa is about to return to Alderaan, Mon Mothma asks for him to find Obi-Wan Kenobi and persuade him to join the Rebel cause.
The Empire of Andor is different. Darth Vader and the Death Star are somewhere off-screen—the former unmentioned, the latter also unacknowledged aside from a stray reference to Scarif. The Emperor is remote and voiceless, the unseen spider at the center of a galaxy-wide web.
“The Mandalorian” is set between the original film trilogy and the latest sequels. “Andor” is a prequel to “Rogue One,” itself a prequel to “A New Hope.” And the forthcoming Disney+ series “The Acolyte” takes place hundreds of years before the Skywalker saga.

Din Djarin is the latest character in the Star Wars universe to wield the Darksaber. Collider recalls the season 2 finale of The Mandalorian, where he defeats Moff Gideon and takes the coveted blade for himself.
