Timeframe: Before Rogue One

Jyn comes to the aid of a little girl bullied by stormtroopers.


  • A Dog Named "Dog": Unless it's a nickname, the tooka's name is Tookie.
  • Combat Pragmatist: Jyn shoots out a pipe to cover her escape and then drops the stormtroopers into a sewer
  • Continuity Nod:
    • Jyn hesitates for a moment before revealing her true name. As revealed in Rebel Rising, she was going by an alias at the time.
    • The Empire taking cats seems weird, but there has been one instance in Battlefront: Twilight Company where an Imperial governor had another species of cats culled out of fear too many were becoming feral.
    • The world is Garel (and is in fact the first instance we've seen of Garel outside of the ports), a major recurring location in Rebels.
  • Cute Kitten: Tookie.
  • Friend to All Children: As seen in the film, Jyn has a weakness for children in danger.
  • One Degree of Separation: The short takes place on Garel, meaning that Jyn was a short hyperspace trip away from the events of Rebels. In fact, the Phoenix Cell was on Garel for a short time during the second season, leaving the possibility that Jyn may have been around during that time. Turns out to be a case of Foreshadowing.
  • Only Friend: By the girl's own admission, her tooka is all she has.
  • Produce Pelting: Jyn chucks a meiloorun at a stormtrooper to get his attention.
  • Ridiculously Cute Critter: Tookie might be the cutest tooka on screen yet, and her personality makes her all the more endearing.
