Stordan Tonc

Stordan Tonc, nicknamed "Stordie,"^[5] was a human male soldier that served in the Alliance to Restore the Republic as a corporal during the Galactic Civil War. He joined the rebels after an uprising on^[6] his homeworld^[1] of Qemia 7.^[6] During the war's first battle, the Battle of Scarif, Tonc became a member of Rogue One. Tonc stayed with the shuttle along with several Pathfinders and the defected Imperial cargo pilot Bodhi Rook. When the Imperials finally arrived to the same pad as the shuttle, Tonc and his men filed out and defended the vessel. When Bodhi tried to connect the shuttle to the communications tower Tonc tried to cover him, but was shot down. Although he was killed, his sacrifice was not in vain as Bodhi was successfully able to contact the Profundity and told them to take down the Shield Gate. Bodhi was killed shorty after by a grenade thrown by a Shoretrooper.^[3]

Behind the scenes[]

Stordan Tonc, albeit unidentified, was portrayed by Jordan Stephens in the 2016 Star Wars Anthology film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.^[3] The character later received their name in Dorling Kindersley 2016 reference book Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide.^[6] According to Stephens, the actor was asked to appear for one scene as Tonc in the Disney+ live-action series Star Wars: Andor, though unsure which season. However, a week prior to the shoot, Stephen was asked to cut their hair—dreadlocks that had been grown for six years—which the actor refused. Stephen tried to compromise by suggesting a helmet to hide their hair, though it was denied, cancelling Tonc's return altogether.^[7]
