Bistan was a male Iakaru who served as a soldier in the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War. He participated in the Battle of Scarif, as door-gunner for an Alliance U-Wing.


Biography

Bistan joined the Rebel Alliance approximately six months prior to the Battle of Scarif. He aided a team of Alliance Special Forces who had infiltrated his homeworld of Iakar to steal medical supplies, by fending off their Imperial pursuers with accurately-thrown spears and rocks. Bistan proved to be such a skilled marksman under fire that he was invited by the SpecForce commandos to join the rebellion.[1]

Bistan was present on Yavin 4 when Jyn Erso shared information about her father's sabotage to the Death Star, with the Rebel Alliance. Once Jyn's speech was over, Bistan was among the rebels who cheered. The Alliance feared extreme casualties, however, and did not support sending rebel forces on a mission to Scarif to help steal the Death Star plans. Despite his excitement, Bistan did not defy orders.[2]

Nevertheless, Bistan and many others were later sent to Scarif as reinforcements, after Admiral Raddus had departed to join the unsanctioned operation begun by Rogue One. Bistan served as the gunner of a Blue Squadron U-Wing piloted by Laren Joma, and opened fire on an All Terrain Armored Cargo Transport immediately upon arrival,[2] using the ship's door-mounted "Roba" M-45 Repeating Ion Blaster.[1] His salvos eventually weakened and pierced one of the walker's legs, causing the entire walker to collapse. Later during the battle, however, one of the U-Wing's engines was struck by a laser, causing the ship to crash into the ground and explode, killing Bistan and the rest of the crew.[2]

Personality and traits

Described as a fierce warrior, Bistan was a short, light skinned Iakaru, covered in black hair, with orange eyes.[4] Like other Iakaru, Bistan possessed exceptional spatial awareness and quick reflexes, as well as keen eyesight and accurate depth perception.[1] He served as a door gunner on a UT-60D U-wing starfighter/support craft.[6] While manning his weapon, Bistan used minimal safety restraints, and relied more so upon his agility and innate sense of balance to stay aboard.[1] Even though he wanted to ensure the freedom of fellow Iakaru, he really fought for the action and thrill of combat.[3] Bistan was popular among fellow rebels, due to his unending gregarious energy, though his personnel file did list multiple incidents of insubordination.[1]

Behind the scenes

Bistan is a character portrayed by Nick Kellington in the anthology film, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The character was first revealed by a preview of the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story: The Official Visual Story Guide in the Edelweiss catalogue on May 17, 2016. His name and race were revealed by Pablo Hidalgo on The Star Wars Show on July 20, 2016.

The character was known as "space monkey" to the crew.[7]

What it says on the label: a weapon to shoot down enemy air forces.

>>86865878
the entire planet is shielded and there's an imperial fleet stationed around the single entrance. AA batteries would be redundant at best

Is this for real? That's racist as fuck.
Why don't they call Finn "space monkey"?

>>86865983
A weapon that destroys the air, not allowing your enemies to breathe.

>>86866121
>AA batteries would be redundant at best

Not that anon, but redundancy is no always a bad thing, particularly in the military. Having more than one layer of defense can pay out.

The main cast was pretty unlikable but the battle scenes were alright.

I'm not the one to praise action sequences, but these made me feel all giddy up inside. Probably due to that Vietnam war aesthetic.

What are the rebel alliances' fitness standards? Why are they putting manlet dogbears in combat rolls?

Pretty low. Remember Porkins?

>>86866541
There is at least a seven paragraph backstory to Porkins as to how he passed the rebel basic training while maintaining a high midichlorian diet.

Also not that Anon, but it's understandable why there weren't a few CWIS or AA missiles on a shielded planet surrounded by ships.

Further evidence of their lack of preparedness, they roped the transport walkers into the battle. That's sort of like getting armed merchantmen to provide fire support.

Guest producer Michael Raimi on Space Monkey:

>"Disney really wanted to have all races represented in the Star Wars universe and I always noticed growing up that there were never any Niggers
>"I saw the battle of Scarrif as a perfect way to finally introduce Space Monkeys and we just kind of rolled with it."

Why is Raimi so based lads?

>>86867882
Apparently the star wars wiki says his name is "Space Monkey"

That's the most badass name a wookie gunner could hope to get stuck with. Fight on Space Monkey.

I like how Vader's ship does in 10 seconds what 2 star destroyers couldn't do for the whole battle.

>>86866478
what are those ships, like wierd interceptor prototypes?
also why dont the rebel ships have ejector seats? I know a lot of it is in space but surely it could come in handy sometimes.

Military is famous for redundancy and multiple layers of security. Otherwise, they'd only use the planet shield and everyone on the planet would lack weapons. That fan made shit is in >>86865669 is high order retardation. Even Hoth had big ass guns.

Half the Rebels had jumped out and the Rebel cruiser was badly damaged by that point.

>>86876385
The AT-ATs we saw on Scarif were cargo variants. They probably weren't as heavily armored.

>>86876555
Half the rebel what? That's the only somewhat big ship they had. Everything else is light corvettes, transports and frigates. You can even see Vader's ship casually ramming a transport and destroying a frigate while it's shooting at the rebel command ship.
