![]() ![]() Growing up in the transition from the Republic to the Empire meant that Jyn Erso was wearing a helmet in a war zone almost before she could walk. Subscribe Jyn Was Born on Valltt During the Clone Wars While she understands that she may not be able to touch the Force like a Jedi does, she sometimes feels connected to the universe in a way that gives her faith in the Jedi belief. She sees the Force and nature as two parts of the same whole, and her enjoyment of nature and exploration allowed her to worship of the Force. … when only the Force was perfect.” Although Lyra is not Force sensitive herself, she exercises at the public gardens in the Jedi Temple. “For her, governments of any stripe would have their constituents believe that they were attempting to remove chaos from the galaxy. Lyra Erso believed in conscientious objection too, for different reasons. Lyra Erso Worships the Force and Spent Time at the Jedi Temple Galen’s guilt and good heart brought him deeper into the fold of the super laser project, which the Empire had codenamed Project Celestial Power. If Galen were to believe that dissenters against the Empire were the enemy, and that Galen’s energy projects would help unite the galaxy and create a lasting piece, Krennic thought Galen would be on board. Krennic’s manipulation included making Galen feel like he had to help. Galen Thought His “Energy Project” Would Bring Peace to the Galaxy Ultimately, these scientists end up caught up in Krennic’s plan, subject to the machinations of the Empire. Reeve Demesne, a Mirialan, was one of Galen’s contemporaries. Galen and Krennic were part of a circle of people at the top of their game in the last days of the Republic. ![]() When he wrote a letter to his wife Lyra while he was in prison, he decorated the edges of the precious paper with equations and diagrams. Galen sometimes became so consumed by his work that he didn’t pay attention to the things around him, instead muttering about the theories or equations he was putting together in his head. When he was stationed at a secret Imperial base on Coruscant, he thought he was working on unlocking the kyber crystals to create pure energy, not to create a deadly weapon. So why does Galen do what he does? In Catalyst, his main drive is to create clean energy. Galen Wanted to Use His Research to Create Clean Energy Krennic describes Galen as a theoretician, mathematician, engineer, and theoretical physicist. A graduate of the Futures Program on Brentaal, he studied crystals for 10 years before focusing on the “living” kyber crystals, fascinated by their strange reactions to living things. Here’s are a few things we’ve learned about Galen Erso’s past, largely from Catalyst, and how those moments could affect him in the future.Galen’s Kyber Crystal Research Made Him a Target of the Death Star ProgramĪs one of the few scientists specializing in kyber crystals, Galen was perfectly poised for the Death Star program. He’s described Galen as the “most guilty man in the world.” That’s because his research basically doomed an entire planet of people, but he didn’t exactly do it on purpose. Galen is played by Mads Mikkelsen, who’s already part of Disney’s Marvel universe, having played Kaecilius in Doctor Strange. ![]() Without him, Darth Vader would’ve never been able to blow up Alderaan and destroy Princess Leia’s life in A New Hope. It’s his research into kyber crystals, the crystals that normally are used to power lightsabers, that leads to the Death Star’s laser cannon becoming operational. Galen Erso is the man who single-handedly brings the Death Star online. It’s a shame, because once upon a time, Galen Erso was the most important person in the universe. He might be a central figure in the prequel book Rogue One: Catalyst, but he hasn’t been featured in a lot of the trailers or promos for the upcoming film. Jyn Erso’s father, Galen Erso, is still kind of a mystery to those who haven’t seen Rogue One yet. ![]()
