Profile:
Chirrut Îmwe was a blind human male, born on the moon Jedha, and a spiritual warrior-monk who was active during the days of the Galactic Empire. Alongside his friend and protector, Baze Malbus, he and other members of a rogue group of Rebels fought in an effort to steal the plans of the first Death Star.
Production Quotes:
“Chirrut falls into the category of being a warrior monk. He very much still believes in everything the Jedi were about. He maintains that belief even though the Jedi are no longer there to protect the galaxy.” - Kathleen Kennedy
"This idea that magical beings are going to come and save us is going away, and it’s up to normal, everyday people to take a stand to stop evil from dominating the world.” - Gareth Edwards
