According to the Starwars Wikia:



Who



That is an un-named Jedi.



Fallen ruins of a statue depicting a Jedi



Significance



I believe the point of this shot is to show 2 things:



  1. Jedi are an ancient and (once) great religion

  2. This planet was once significant to Jedi

Why is it now in ruins




As more of the galaxy was mapped, more direct hyperspace routes were
discovered. These new passages made the old, winding routes, such as
those connecting with Jedha, obsolete. The once-popular Jedha became
an antiquated curiosity rather than a relevant destination, a location
for those who desired spiritual guidance, a deeper purpose, or to
simply exile themselves from the larger galaxy.

            One-line joke

            A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
