One of Rogue One‘s best additions to the Star Wars mythology was Chirrut ÃŽmwe, the blind Guardian of the Whills who was memorably portrayed by action icon Donnie Yen. Chirrut may not have been a Jedi, but he was unusually strong with the Force and one of the best fighters that we’ve ever seen in the franchise. That said, Chirrut didn’t exactly get the chance to take his skills on the battlefield up to their full potential. So what would it look like if he had?
That’s the premise behind “Chirrut vs. Everything,” a newly released LEGO Star Wars parody. If it had gone down like this in the actual movie, then Rogue One would have been almost two hours shorter!
This video was released by the How It Should Have Ended YouTube channel, in collaboration with Brotherhood Workshop. Kevin Ulrich directed, wrote, and animated the short in addition to providing his voice. Daniel Baxter, Emily Liu, and Jon Brunson rounded out the rest of the voice cast. The short expanded upon Chirrut’s face-off with the stormtroopers on Jedha, and then kicked up the action to a ridiculous degree, roping in Imperial Walkers, Darth Vader himself, and more still. Jyn Erso, Cassian Andor, and Baze Malbus didn’t really have to do anything except to watch and enjoy the show.
