Tunda Ress (right) and their chrome-faced companion
Tunda Ress was an individual who was present in Jedha City on the moon of Jedha shortly before the Galactic Empire destroyed the city with a test of the Death Star[1] in 0 BBY.[2] They wore a mask made out of chrome and carried a DH-17 blaster pistol.[3] Ress and a fellow chrome-faced individual passed by Jyn Erso and the Rebel intelligence officer Cassian Andor in Jedha City and narrowly avoided bumping into them.[1]
