After his wife is killed, their daughter Jyn escapes and is taken into safety by Saw Gerrera. Fifteen years later, Bodhi Rook, an Imperial cargo shuttle pilot, defects and smuggles a holographic message from Galen for the Rebel Alliance to Gerrera on the planet Jedha. An adult Jyn is freed from Imperial captivity by the Rebels, who plan to use her to track down her father, then kill him to prevent the weapon from being completed.
