Things We Saw Today: Littlest Jyn Erso Cosplayer Gives Death Star Plans to All the Leias She Can Find

My heart! io9 and Nerdist both shared the story of this adorable Jyn Erso cosplayer from Star Wars Celebration. The young cosplayer, Haley, attended Star Wars Celebration with her father Dino. She ran around the conference and shared custom-made Death Star plans with every Leia cosplayer she ran into. Thus, she completed her character’s mission from Rogue One. She stole the plans – and our hearts. You can see all the photos from her mission at Dino’s Imgur.
