The stand-alone adventure of the 2 side characters from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Chirrut and Baze, is now available for purchase. Guardians of the Whills is a novel for younger readers (9-12) by Greg Rucka. The story spreads on 240 pages.
They’re a classic Star Wars odd couple. Baze is stoic and hardened; Chirrut is witty and devoted to the Force. Together, they’re an amazing team and just fun to watch — great warriors who bicker, but share a bond. Greg Rucka’s new book, Guardians of the Whills, takes us back to before they encountered Jyn Erso and found a new purpose, revealing more of who these men were, and who they’d go on to be.
On the desert world of Jedha, in the Holy City, friends Baze and Chirrut used to be Guardians of the Whills, who looked after the Kyber Temple and the devoted pilgrims who worshipped there. Then the Empire came and took over the planet. The temple was destroyed and the people scattered. Now Baze and Chirrut do what they can to resist the Empire and protect the people of Jedha, but it never seems to be enough. Then a man named Saw Gerrera arrives, with a militia of his own and grand plans to take down the Empire. It seems like the perfect way for Baze and Chirrut to make a real difference and help the people of Jedha live better lives. But will it come at too great a cost?
