Chirrut Îmwe is a major character in the Star Wars anthology film, Rogue One. He 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 volunteer group of Rebels died after stealing the plans of the first Death Star.
He is portrayed by Donnie Yen.
Though not strong with the Force, Îmwe was a strong believer in it and the ways of the Jedi, carrying a simple staff and traditional lightbow bowcaster, contrasting greatly with his partner's more pragmatic personality. His devotion to spirituality helped him overcome his blindness and become a formidable warrior.
