Galen Erso

Galen Erso was a human male and father of Jyn Erso. He was a top scientist on project Stardust, the Death Star project. His old friend Krennic forced him to work on it and even killed his wife, Lyra Erso. Galen was forced to go but not before his daughter escaped and was later recued by the mentally ill Saw Gerrera.

Years later, members of the Rebel Alliance saved Jun from imperial labour to help find her father as he was critical to the supahweapons develpoment. They tracked him to eadu, but some drunken high X-wing pilot fired A torpedo where he was and killed him. Ouch.
