Guardians of the Whills

Canon Linked from 162 articles

The Guardians of the Whills, also known as the Guardians of the Kyber Temple, were a religious order of spiritual warrior-monks that was founded by 483 BBY in Jedha City on the moon of Jedha in the freestanding subsectors of the Mid Rim Territories. They traditionally handcrafted the lightbow, a complicated form of bowcaster native to Jedha, such as the one used by Chirrut Îmwe during the Battle of Scarif. The Guardians protected both the Temple of the Kyber and pilgrims who visited it.
