Jedha insurgency

"The world is coming undone. Imperial flags reign across the galaxy."

- Saw Gerrera to Jyn Erso

Some time before the Battle of Yavin, a resistance group carried out an insurgency against the Galactic Empire on the desert moon of Jedha. The insurgency against the Imperial occupation was coordinated by the Rebel extremist Saw Gerrera, and involved the Rebel warrior monk Chirrut Îmwe and his freelance assassin friend Baze Malbus. Under the rule of the Empire, the timeworn streets of Jedha were patrolled by stormtroopers, Imperial Assault Hovertanks and All Terrain Scout Transports. At some point, Rebel soldiers Cassian Andor and Sergeant Jyn Erso undertook a mission to Jedha to secure a member of the resistance.
