Unidentified Chadra-Fan youngling

A Chadra-Fan male youngling was chased away by an Aleena vendor sometime between 5 BBY and 0 BBY on the planet Ord Mantell. The child later stole the human Jyn Erso's kyber pendant. After fleeing from Erso across rooftops, the child was eventually caught by Erso. When she realized the Chadra-Fan was only hungry, she gave him a fruit that she had purchased from the Aleena vendor. Sometime after 34 ABY, the pirate queen Maz Kanata recounted the youngling's encounter with Erso in a lesson of patience to a visitor of hers.
==Biography==
Sometime between 5 BBY and 0 BBY,According to Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition, the events of "Jyn's Trade" occur after Saw Gerrera abandoned Jyn Erso which, according to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, occurred when Erso was sixteen years old. Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel dates Erso's birth to one year after the First Battle of Geonosis, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas places in 22 BBY. Therefore, Erso was born in 21 BBY and turned sixteen in 5 BBY, meaning the earliest "Jyn's Trade" can occur is 5 BBY. Since Erso died in Rogue One, and Galatic Atlas dates the events of the film to 0 BBY, "Jyn's Trade" must take place sometime between 5 BBY and 0 BBY. a Chadra-Fan male youngling ran by the human Jyn Erso as he was chased by an Aleena vendor on the planet Ord Mantell. The child went to a nearby rooftop where he witnessed the vendor offer many fruits for Erso's kyber pendant, an offer that Erso declined and instead chose to pay for one fruit with a credit chip. As Erso left the vendor's stall, the child followed along the rooftops before sliding down a nearby pole and tricking Erso with misdirection. With Erso's attention diverted, the child stole her pendant and fled to the rooftops.
Esro nearly caught the boy when he returned to the ground by rolling off a canopy into a vase, but he quickly climbed up a pole and returned to the rooftops. The child crossed a wooden plank connecting two rooftops and tossed it aside before the human could follow. He giggled in victory before Erso pole-vaulted across the gap and continued the chase. The Chadra-Fan dove down a vent and emerged onto the street, believing to have finally eluded his pursuer. He attempted to return to the vendor but was caught by Erso, who explained the importance of her necklace to the child. The child pointed at a bowl of fruit, and Erso realized the child was hungry. She took pity on the boy and gave him the fruit she had purchased earlier, which the Chadra-Fan thanked her for before running off.
Sometime after 34 ABY,Star Wars Forces of Destiny: Volume 3 features Maz Kanata narrating the first eight episodes from Forces of Destiny: Season Two. One of the stories Kanata recounts is "Shuttle Shock," which takes place during Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi. The Star Wars Book dates the events of The Last Jedi to 34 years after the end of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 0 ABY. Therefore, both The Last Jedi and "Shuttle Shock" occur in 34 ABY, and Star Wars: Forces of Destiny: Volume 3 must occur sometime after that year. the pirate queen Maz Kanata was looking forStar Wars Forces of Destiny: Volume 3 her dinner when an individual and the Flurrg Roz visited her.
