"Know of him," Jyn says, shrugging perhaps a little too easily. She's pretty sure most of the galaxy has heard of Darth Vader, though in some of the farther-flung corners of the Outer Rim, they talk about him more like a legend than a living, breathing person. Granted, she can't even say for sure that he is one of those, but he's definitely real. She hasn't encountered him herself; she's pretty sure that makes her lucky.

There's so much she doesn't know, though. Her father was a fairly high-ranking Imperial, and it's hard not to wonder if he ever met the being partly responsible for the oppression of an entire galaxy. If the Empire wanted a weapon, surely they might also have wanted to know who was building it.

"The Empire was formed when I was... two or three, maybe. Too young to remember, just to know that it felt like it was always there."
