The New Guardians of the Whills

"I'm one with the Force; the Force is with me"

- Baze "Chirrut" Îmwe

The New Guardians of the Whills were a religious order of monks active in Mos Eisley, of Tatooine, towards the start of the Age of the Galactic Empire. They traditionally handcrafted the lightbow, a complicated form of bowcaster native to Jedha, such as the one used by Chirrut Îmwe, an ancestor of the founder of the New Guardians of the Whills, Baze Îmwe during the Battle of Scarif. The Guardians protected both the Temple of the Force and pilgrims who visited it. The protectors of the ancient Temple of the Force, the Guardians were forced to live on the streets when the First Order occupied Tatooine in search of peace and security The Guardians remained true to their beliefs by preaching to the citizens about the Force.
