Phirmism was a Force-based religious organization found throughout the galaxy.[1] One notable Phirmist was Guch Ydroma, who claimed to have been touched by the Phirmist god during a desert pilgrimage on Jedha, allegedly giving him the ability to conjure water from the air.[2] Another member, Marn, ran an orphanage at the Phirmist temple on Durkteel, and she notably housed Mattis Banz, a Force-sensitive boy who joined the Resistance against the First Order.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Phirmists were invented by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker for use in Join the Resistance. In an interview, Blacker stated that they named it after their friend, comedian and musician Mike Phirman, one of several tuckerizations of their friends in the book.[3]
