Jyn Erso is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise, portrayed by English actress Felicity Jones as the main protagonist in the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Jyn aids the Rebel Alliance in a desperate attempt to steal the plans to the Death Star, a weapon of the Galactic Empire with enough power to destroy an entire planet. The character was introduced as a child in the 2016 prequel novel Catalyst by James Luceno, and would later appear in the 2017 novel Star Wars: Rebel Rising by Beth Revis, once again as the protagonist, detailing her time as a teenager and induction into her family friend and mentor Saw Gerrera's Partisan offshoot-sect of the Rebel Alliance, as well as her independent efforts in both combating and evading the forces of the Empire.
