Guardians of the Whills is a Star Wars Expanded Universe novel written by Greg Rucka (who had previously done Smuggler's Run, Star Wars: Shattered Empire, and Before the Awakening), centered around Baze Malbus and Chirrut Îmwe before they took part to the events of Rogue One.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Baze and Chirrut used to be Guardians of the Whills, who looked after the Kyber Temple on Jedha and all those 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. When a man named Saw Gerrera arrives with 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. But will it come at too great a cost?It was released on May 2, 2017, alongside fellow Rogue One prequel novel, Rebel Rising.

Bittersweet Ending: Played with. Chirrut and Baze successfully escort the orphans to escape beyond Jedha's Imperial-occupied surface. While the ship is confirmed to escape past the Destroyer, it is also emphasized before that even if they do escape Jedha, it's up in the air whether they would find appropriate shelter and Chirrut and Baze likely have no means of tracking their status and welfare. If anything, they at least gave them hope.

Continuity Nod: Though Ezra's transmission for a call to action was all garbled up when it reached Jedha, its underlying message of defiance and hope was still intact. Fortuna telling everyone to look above and see the Star Destroyer — a symbol of the Empire's oppression — is evocative of when Saw gives Jyn a What the Hell, Hero? in Rogue One for not doing against the Empire for the past few years, asking how she can live with Imperial flags reigning across the Galaxy, to which she replies that "It's not a problem if you don't look up."
