This encounter is the subject of the latest Rogue One clip that’s been released online.
Though it runs just over 20 seconds, the clip does a very good job of establishing the contrasting ideologies of Krennic and Galen.
This is why there was a great deal of interest in this fall’s novel Catalyst by James Luceno, as the book serves as a prequel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Upon hearing that work on the space station has hit a roadblock, Galen refuses to return to his old position.
