The wedding of Lyra and Galen Erso took place on the planet Coruscant in 25 BBY.[1]
Prelude[]
Galen Walton Erso was a human male scientist, whose research focus was on crystals, and how they could be used to supply power. Erso particularly focused on Kyber Crystals, which were used to power the primary weapon of the Jedi Knights and Sith—the lightsaber. The crystals were rare in the Galaxy however, so Erso and a field team went to the planet Espinar in search of rare crystals like the Kyber crystals. During the six month expedition on Espinar, Erso's life changed forever after he fell in love with their guide, Lyra. The field team failed to find anything similar to Kyber Crystals, but Lyra and Galen left the planet together.[2]
The wedding[]
The two were married one year later[3] on Coruscant with Lyra's friend Nari Sable appearing as her maid of honour. The couple's co-worker Reeva Demesne also attended the wedding as a guest.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel incorrectly states that the wedding occurs nearly five years prior to the events of the first chapter,[2] which take place in 22 BBY,[4] when the canonical date for the wedding is 25 BBY.[1]
