Profile:

Production Quotes:
Heavily armored, Baze prefers a blaster to hokey religions and ancient weapons, but he is devoted to protecting his friend Chirrut at all costs. “He understands Chirrut’s spiritual centeredness, but he doesn’t necessarily support it, Baze goes along with this Force business because it’s what his friend deeply believes. Think of them as a little like the galactic version of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza." - Kathleen Kennedy
