Chirrut Îmwe was a blind human male born on the moon Jedha in 52 BBY. He used a uneti-wood staff and handmade lightbow. One of the Guardians of the Whills, an order of spiritual warrior monks, he was active during the days of the Galactic Empire. He worked as an itinerant preacher in Jedha City. Alongside his close friend, partner, and protector, Baze Malbus, he went to Eadu with Cassian Andor, Baze Malbus, K-2SO, Jyn Erso, and other members. Îmwe became part of a volunteer group of Rebels tasked with stealing the plans of the first Death Star. Îmwe died during the Battle of Scarif in 1 BBY after assisting Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor in breaking into the Imperial archives. Chirrut’s valiant sacrifice, along with the rest of Rogue One, ensured the success of the mission and the eventual destruction of the Death Star.
