Guardians of the Whills
In Rogue One, Chirrut Îmwe (Donnie Yen) and Baze Malbus (Jiang Wen) play Guardians of the Whills, who no longer have anything to guard after a Jedi temple on Jedha was destroyed.
The Whills refers back to the early scripts of Star Wars and its original title: "The Adventures of Luke Starkiller as taken from the Journal of the Whills."
The Ancient Order of the Whills was a group deeply connected with the Force and, in early drafts of A New Hope, the name 'Whills' was equivalent to the Force.
