Defiant Guardians' struggle against Empire's tyranny.
If you're intrigued by the deeper lore of Star Wars, specifically the spiritual side and the characters who are more than just Jedi or Sith, Guardians of the Whills offers a deeper dive. Baze and Chirrut's tale is one of resilience, camaraderie, and defiance. It adds layers to their characters beyond what you've seen in Rogue One, making their eventual stand in the film all the more poignant. For any fan looking for more backstory and emotional depth to the Star Wars universe, this is a fulfilling read.

Description
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?
