returns to pen an intense tale of ambition and betrayal that sets
the stage for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. War is tearing the
galaxy apart. For years the Republic and the Separatists have
battled across the stars, each building more and more deadly
technology in an attempt to win the war. As a member of Chancellor
Palpatine’s top secret Death Star project, Orson Krennic is
determined to develop a superweapon before the Republic’s enemies
can. And an old friend of Krennic’s, the brilliant scientist Galen
Erso, could be the key. Galen’s energy-focused research has
captured the attention of both Krennic and his foes, making the
scientist a crucial pawn in the galactic conflict. But after
Krennic rescues Galen, his wife, Lyra, and their young daughter,
Jyn, from Separatist kidnappers, the Erso family is deeply in
Krennic’s debt. Krennic then offers Galen an extraordinary
opportunity: to continue his scientific studies with every resource
put utterly at his disposal. While Galen and Lyra believe that his
energy research will be used purely in altruistic ways, Krennic has
other plans that will finally make the Death Star a reality.
Trapped in their benefactor’s tightening grasp, the Ersos must
untangle Krennic’s web of deception to save themselves and the
galaxy itself.
