Podcast Stardust #340: Guardians of the Whills Manga

by Podcast Stardust

We supplement our Rogue One series with a discussion of the manga adaptation of Guardian of the Whills.

Over the course of 2021, we have engaged in a review of Rogue One. Not too long ago, a manga adaptation of Guardians of the Whills was released. Guardians of the Whills is an earlier story of Chirrut Îmwe and Baze Malbus before the events of Rogue One, but after the Empire arrived at Jedha and evicted the Guardians from the Temple of the Whills. Without their original purpose, the former Guardians fight to protect the orphans and innocent of Jedha. However, how far are they willing to go? What will they do when their actions seem to create just as many problems as solutions? Join us for this episode of Podcast Stardust as we explore this early Chirrut and Baze adventure.

In this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss:

  • Chirrut Îmwe and Baze Malbus’s life on Jedha,
  • Why Chirrut and Baze began working with Saw Gerrera,
  • How Baze got his gun,
  • The style of the manga,
  • What causes Chirrut and Baze to stop working with Saw, and
  • How this leads into Rogue One.
