The Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star, is almost ready, potentially spelling doom for the Rebel Alliance. This is where Jyn Erso comes in. She is the daughter of the Death Star's unwilling creator, and she is determined to rescue her father from the Empire's grasp. Her journey leads her to team up with Rebel intelligence officer Cassian Andor, the reprogrammed Imperial droid K-2SO, and other Rebel sympathizers. However, she soon realizes their objectives might significantly diverge from hers. The story reaches its climax on the tropical world of Scarif, where Jyn and her companions attempt to steal the Death Star plans, keeping the Rebellion's hope alive and setting the stage for the famous opening sequence of Star Wars: Episode IV.
