It was prissy to see theuntold past of Ahsoka Tano , or the return ofThrawnto Star Wars canon at Celebration Europe this past weekend , but one new hero in special stole the show for many : the stinking looking ‘ Space Monkey ’ in theRogue One sizzle reel . Well , in the true Star Wars tradition , we now know everything there is to know about him .

Thanks to the fine kinsfolk over at the Star Wars Show — or more specifically Lucasfilm story chemical group administrator Pablo Hidalgo , appear on this calendar week ’s episode — we already eff enough about Space Monkey to a ) learn that he ’s not call up ‘ Space Monkey ’ and b ) Probably give him a decent Wookieepedia page already ( spoiler , he already has one ) .
Yes , as Pablo remark in the television above , Space Monkey is actually named Bistan , and is a member of a species called the Iakaru . He ’s a fellow member of the Rebel Alliance too , and is really a threshold gunner aboard a U - Wing — a new ship in the Rebel Fleet that we first get prescribed glimpses of at Celebration Europe ’s publishing panel , which gave us a flavor at the cover of a book call “ Make Your Own U - Wing . ”
It does n’t see large enough to demand it ’s own side - room access artilleryman , but it ostensibly is ! And Bistan is presumably one of many . Look forward to him plausibly commence at least three different action figure before Rogue One : A Star Wars Story rack up theatre in December .
