Fifteen years later, in the Ring of Kafrene, an adult Jyn ( Felicity Jones) is held in a cell. Saw Gerrera eventually finds and rescues her. Jyn runs away and hides in a prepared bolt-hole under a rock in a cave. A stormtrooper toy is discovered and Krennic tells his guards to find Galen's daughter (who stayed out of sight but witnesses the incident).

Lyra shoots Krennic, hitting his arm, and is killed. When Orson tells his stormtrooper bodyguards to check the house, Lyra appears and draws a weapon on Krennic they have a standoff. He asks about his family and Galen lies that his wife is dead. Outside, Galen meets Orson Krennic ( Ben Mendelsohn), a high-ranking Imperial military officer, who tries to get Galen to come back to work for the Empire. She then takes off her necklace, which has a clear crystal orb on it, attaches it around Jyn's neck, and as a way of saying goodbye tells her to 'Trust the Force'. They stop and Lyra asks Jyn if she knows where to go, meaning that Jyn is to proceed on her own. Jyn and her mother run to the foothills behind the farmhouse. Galen says goodbye to his daughter and tells her that he loves her, calling her 'Stardust', as he heads off alone to face the Empire.

Lyra calls Saw Gerrera ( Forest Whitaker) and tells him that 'He's come for us'. Jyn Erso ( Beau Gadsdon) sees it and runs to warn her father, Galen Erso ( Mads Mikkelsen) and mother, Lyra Erso ( Valene Kane). In the early years of the Galactic Empire, we see an Imperial ship landing on the planet Lah'mu. but instantly leaps to the action, omitting the opening crawl.
