- "I said go and don't come back!"
- ―An Aleena salesperson, chasing the youngling away
A Chadra-Fan male youngling was chased away by an Aleena vendor sometime between 5 BBY and 0 BBY on the planet Ord Mantell. The child later stole the human Jyn Erso's kyber pendant. After fleeing from Erso across rooftops, the child was eventually caught by Erso. When she realized the Chadra-Fan was only hungry, she gave him a fruit that she had purchased from the Aleena vendor. Sometime after 34 ABY, the pirate queen Maz Kanata recounted the youngling's encounter with Erso in a lesson of patience to a visitor of hers.
Biography[]
- "Hmm, you just wanted something to eat. Here, this is all I have."
[Gasps] "Thank you." - ―Jyn Erso and the child
Sometime between 5 BBY and 0 BBY,[4] a Chadra-Fan male youngling ran by the human Jyn Erso as[1] he[3] was chased by an Aleena vendor on[1] the planet[3] Ord Mantell. The child went to a nearby rooftop where he witnessed the vendor offer many fruits for Erso's kyber pendant, an offer that Erso declined and instead chose to pay for one fruit with a credit chip. As Erso left the vendor's stall, the child followed along the rooftops before sliding down a nearby pole and tricking Erso with misdirection. With Erso's attention diverted, the child stole[1] her[3] pendant and fled to the rooftops.[1]
Jyn Erso giving the child her fruit to eat.
Esro nearly caught the boy when he returned to the ground by rolling off a canopy into a vase, but he quickly climbed up a pole and returned to the rooftops. The child crossed a wooden plank connecting two rooftops and tossed it aside before the human could follow. He giggled in victory before Erso pole-vaulted across the gap and continued the chase. The Chadra-Fan dove down a vent and emerged onto the street, believing to have finally eluded his pursuer. He attempted to return to the vendor but was caught by Erso, who explained the importance of her necklace to the child. The child pointed at a bowl of fruit, and Erso realized the child was hungry.[1] She took pity on the boy[3] and gave him the fruit she had purchased earlier, which the Chadra-Fan thanked her for before running off.[1]
Sometime after 34 ABY,[5] the pirate queen[6] Maz Kanata was looking for[7] her[3] dinner when an individual and the Flurrg Roz visited her. Kanata recounted various stories to her visitors as they related to her search. She stressed the significance of keeping an eye on important items and having patience when looking for them when lost before recounting the Chadra-Fan's encounter with Erso.[7]
Persanlity and traits[]
- "Clever boy."
- ―Jyn Erso, on the child stealing her pendant
The Chadra-Fan had brown eyes, a pink nose, and two buck teeth. He had brown fur with tufts of tan fur at his wrists. He was clever, as remarked by Jyn Erso when he deceived her and stole her pendant. He was also easily humored, giggling while fleeing from Erso. The youngling was also willing to steal from others when desperate, taking Erso's pendant to pay for fruits when he was hungry.[1]
Equipment[]
The child wore a reddish-brown robe with a white vest and tan sash over it, along with black shoes.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Chadra-Fan youngling first appeared in "Jyn's Trade,"[1] the fourth episode of the second season of the Star Wars Forces of Destiny animated micro–series.

- ↑ According to Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition, the events of "Jyn's Trade" occur after Saw Gerrera abandoned Jyn Erso which, according to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, occurred when Erso was sixteen years old. Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel dates Erso's birth to one year after the First Battle of Geonosis, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas places in 22 BBY. Therefore, Erso was born in 21 BBY and turned sixteen in 5 BBY, meaning the earliest "Jyn's Trade" can occur is 5 BBY. Since Erso died in Rogue One, and Galatic Atlas dates the events of the film to 0 BBY, "Jyn's Trade" must take place sometime between 5 BBY and 0 BBY.
- ↑ Star Wars Forces of Destiny: Volume 3 features Maz Kanata narrating the first eight episodes from Forces of Destiny: Season Two. One of the stories Kanata recounts is "Shuttle Shock," which takes place during Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi. The Star Wars Book dates the events of The Last Jedi to 34 years after the end of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 0 ABY. Therefore, both The Last Jedi and "Shuttle Shock" occur in 34 ABY, and Star Wars: Forces of Destiny: Volume 3 must occur sometime after that year.
