On one occasion, he rescued Ezra and Hondo from being killed by Azmorigan. On another occasion, he refused to leave Sabine behind and persuaded her estranged friend Ketsu Onyo to rescue her from her derelict shuttle before it exploded.ĭespite starting off on the wrong foot with Ezra, Chopper eventually developed a working, if somewhat uneasy, relationship with the young Jedi rebel. On one occasion, his affection towards Kanan led him to join forces with Sabine, Zeb, and Ezra on a mission to rescue him. Despite their hostile first encounter, he grew fond of 3PO, after the latter complimented him for his polite "manners." In addition, Chopper also had a sense of team spirit and loyalty to his fellow rebels. On one occasion, he became jealous of the Imperial courier droid 264 and threw him out of the Ghost in mid-air he also knocked another Imperial droid into a sewer system and was in favor of destroying EXD-9 despite being under the impression that the Infiltrator was a mere protocol droid.ĭespite his cantankerousness, Chopper was also capable of showing affection when it suited him. Chopper appeared to particularly dislike other droids and never hesitated to cause them harm, whether his mission called for it or not. Later, he ejected from an Imperial communications ship, launching himself harmlessly into space but causing a group of Stormtroopers to be sucked into the void with him. Zeb suggested his personality flaws were due to damaged logic circuits. Despite the incident, he showed no remorse and continued tossing jugs at him. On one occasion, he nearly caused the death of Ezra by knocking him off the Ghost in mid-air. While he was always cantankerous, stubborn, and irritable, Chopper did have the crew's best interests in mind and would always help them during a problem, prompting his partners to forgive his personality quirks.Ĭhopper also had a mischievous and psychopathic streak which led him to sometimes endanger both sentient beings and other droids. Unlike other astromech droids such as R2, Chopper did not care about being loved by the organics he worked with and seemed to dislike other astromechs. Chopper had a respectful relationship with Hera because she rescued him from a wrecked Y-Wing during the Ryloth campaign and adopted him, giving him more attention than her estranged father Cham. While Chopper got on well with Hera, Kanan, and Sabine, he had a fraught relationship with Ezra and Zeb whom he often played tricks on. Though lazy and selfish, he still cares about his friends and helps them out when they are in immediate danger.ĭue to his advanced age and lack of consistent maintenance, Chopper developed a sarcastic, and cranky demeanor. He is voiced by the series' producer Dave Filoni.Ĭhopper is a grumpy, sometimes selfish, and old droid who, according to Dave Filoni, is the "cat" of the Ghost crew. Due to the crew of Ghost having little in the way of resources, Chopper is cobbled together from a variety of pieces and as such is nowhere near as "sleek" as many later droid models, or even his fellow astromech R2-D2. Nevertheless, he still serves as the repair droid on the ship Ghost during its fights against the Empire and is also very loyal in spite of his many flaws. In contrast to the more lovable and openly heroic R2-D2, Chopper is a much more apathetic individual and nowhere near as easy a character to get along with. He has been described by the creators as being lazy, belligerent, rude, grumpy, and cantankerous as well as frequently ignoring his crew's orders and being much more content to do things his way. He made his live-action debut in the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story as a cameo character, and is set to return in the upcoming 2023 Disney+ series Ahsoka. Lucky for him he's good at it, because he is a pain.Ĭ1-10P, better known as Chopper, is an Astromech Droid owned by Hera Syndulla and one of the tritagonists of the 2014-2018 television show Star Wars Rebels. This junky little astromech droid keeps the Ghost running.
