Trapped in their benefactor\'s tightening grasp, the Ersos must untangle Krennic\'s web of deception to save themselves and the galaxy itself..
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.
Krennic then offers Galen an extraordinary opportunity: to continue his scientific studies with every resource put utterly at his disposal.
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.
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.
And an old friend of Krennic\'s, the brilliant scientist Galen Erso, could be the key.
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.
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.
War is tearing the galaxy apart.
