Tiny Jyn Erso gives Death Star plans to every Princess Leia she can find
The real Jyn Erso—or at least the one in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story—got vaporized by the Death Star before she could personally hand the battle station’s plans to Princess Leia, but a little Jyn Erso cosplayer at the recent Star Wars Celebration convention in Florida made up for that by handing Death Star plans to every Leia she could find. Naturally, the results made for some adorable photos:
This comes from Nerdist (via io9), which says this Jyn Erso is actually a kid named Harley, and just like in the movie, her Death Star plans were created by her father, Dino Ignacio. You can see a handful of photos of Harley meeting various versions of Leia, and there’s even a photo where she just skips Leia entirely and give the plans directly to R2-D2:
Cosplayers are fine, but Harley’s last set of Death Star plans were saved for the real Princess Leia. She left them at a little memorial that had been set up in front of the dress Carrie Fisher wore at the end of A New Hope:
