If you lose track of the plot, just remember this: A bunch of people have to go to the place to get the thing. But she finds a purpose when she meets rebel fighter Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) and his reprogrammed-security-droid sidekick K-2S0 (whose voice belongs to Alan Tudyk, a charming, dry actor with a long, varied career, but who first sparked in Joss Whedon’s late, great Firefly).
There’s no such thing as stability in her world. People-like Forest Whitaker’s Saw Gerrera, one of Galen’s old compatriots-come and go in Jyn’s life. It’s a dangerous one: Stormtroopers roam the grim landscape, rooting out threats to the Empire. Jyn, essentially orphaned and driven underground, is left to make her way in the world alone. But Galen is in reality a talented weapons engineer, and Krennic needs his skills to build the ultimate weapon, which shall later come to be known as the Death Star. We see the family’s disintegration in flashback: Galen, his wife and little Jyn are living, simply, as farmers, more or less. Felicity Jones stars as Jyn Erso, a young woman whose father, Galen Erso (a characteristically stately Mads Mikkelsen), was snatched away from her years ago by Empire thug Orson Krennic (a weasely Ben Mendelsohn). In Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, it’s a gimmick, no matter how well-intentioned.
