Chirrut Imwe
Despite being blind, Chirrut Imwe has many qualities of a Jedi. In addition to being a talented martial artist, he was also an excellent spiritual warrior-monk. Born on the moon of Jedha in 52 BBY, Chirrut served as an itinerant preacher before joining a Rebellion. The story of this rogue was adapted into the popular film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. In Rogue One, he joined a group of Rebels charged with stealing the plans of the first Death Star. However, his life ended tragically during the Battle of Scarif.
Chirrut is a Force-less monk who comes from the planet of Jedha, a Jedi Mecca. His people live on the planet while the Empire is rumored to be mining the Kyber Crystals to power the Death Star. During the battle, Chirrut is caught by a group of Stormtroopers and faces retaliation.
Cassian Andor
The first episode of the new season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars will focus on the character Cassian Andor. While he’s not your standard Star Wars rebel, Cassian’s darker side should be showcased in the new series. The show will premiere on Disney+ in 2022. It is unclear whether or not the new series will reference the previous films, but it is likely that there will be references.
Rogue One is the third installment of the Star Wars saga. The film follows the Rebels as they attempt to steal plans for the Death Star. This is a very powerful weapon, and the Rogue One team is tasked with stealing the plans and destroying it. As part of this mission, Andor will try to find out whether the Empire is hiding a secret weapon and if it is capable of stopping the Rebels.
Bistan
The character Bistan was one of the more unique creatures introduced in the new “Star Wars” movie, but his appearance in the movie was significantly reduced. Bistan is an alien, the lakaru race, who joined the galactic rebellion when the Empire tracked down the rebellion on their home planet. After the conflict, Bistan enlisted as a soldier for the Alliance. He was the door gunner for the Alliance U-Wing fighter during the Battle of Scarif, and fans instantly fell in love with his enthusiasm and eagerness.
Although the character didn’t get much screen time, fans of the “Rogue One” trilogy will find their favorite scenes and characters retconned in the new film. Bistan’s character, Bodhi Rook, is played by Riz Ahmed, while Big Mouth is an amphibious Drabata platoon leader played by Jonas Blomkvist.
Jyn Erso
The death of Jyn Erso in Star Wars Rogue One is the most shocking plot twist in the franchise. The young Rebel pilot had saved her father’s life by transferring the plans to the rebel vessel Profundity, but was now alone on the beach. As the Death Star prepared to fire its superlaser, the survivors were unable to escape. As the blast approached, Jyn and Andor shared a last embrace. It was at this point that she became one with the Force.
Although Jyn isn’t the first female character in the series, her story is more affecting and compelling. The character isn’t the usual Star Wars heroine, but what makes Jyn so compelling is her utterly ordinary background. She lacks great lineage and Force-sensitivity, and spent the last few years as a petty criminal. In short, she was forced to learn to rely on herself and overcome challenges in a harsh world.
Lyra Organa
As the wife of scientist Galen Erso, Lyra fights against the Separatists and tries to save her husband from the clutches of the evil Empire. During the Clone Wars, Galen is arrested on Vallt and accused of espionage, but Lyra is freed by Lieutenant Commander Orson Krennic, who saved the life of his wife and daughter. He was later killed by a Death Trooper, and Lyra is left behind to suffer.
The saga begins on an unnamed planet with a ring like Saturn. An Imperial craft lands on the planet and Director Krennic leads a squad of black-armored death troopers. They are trying to capture Galen and his wife, Lyra, so they can complete the Death Star. But they accidentally kill Lyra, and Jyn, the daughter of Galen, manages to hide, and is eventually saved by Saw Gerrera and his ally.
