Having done all the math with the character’s ages, there’s no way Galen Erso didn’t start building the Death Star for the Republic.
#there were 19 years between the fall of the republic and rogue one/a new hope#which means that based on felicity’s age jyn should be 14 when the empire rises (she obviously isn’t but like….she should be)#but even going by the tie-in materials (which—felicity absolutely does not look like a 21yo that’s insane)#she was three when the republic fell#given that she looks about 6-7 when krennic grabs galen & kills lyra we can assume that the ersos fled coruscant very shortly after order 66#maybe the next year?#and when krennic shows up he doesn’t say “remember that idea we were kicking around let’s get back to that”#he says “it needs to be FINISHED”#ergo: galen erso started building the death star for the republic#also star wars timelines are SHIT and horrible and I never want to do this much speculative math ever again#star wars#the warry stars
