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]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Tunda Ress first appeared in the film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,[1] which was released in North America on December 16, 2016.[4] Ress was not identified in the film, but received a name in 2019 with the release of the Topps Star Wars: Card Trader card "Topps Choice - Tunda Ress."[5] A character wearing Tunda Ress' outfit appears in "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian," the first episode of the Disney+ television series The Mandalorian.[6] However, no source has confirmed if this is Ress or another member of the species.
