Chopper and the rebels and Mandalorians then fled Tiber Saxon's Star Destroyer before it was crippled by the malfunctioning Duchess. After returning to Bo-Katan's camp, the Mandalorians appointed Bo-Katan as their leader and the wielder of the Darksaber. [71] Taking out the Jalindi relay [ ] At the behest of Filoni, the writer, director, and R2-D2 Builders Club member Michael McMaster constructed a fully articulated, life-size model of Chopper for reference in creating the animated series. McMaster's final product was built in about eighty-seven days. [103] Chopper appeared on a 2014 episode of America's Funniest Home Videos. [104] Running low on fuel and food, the crew of the Ghost decided to take up one of Vizago's standing offers to steal a shipment of T-7 ion disruptor rifles before they fell into the hands of the Empire. After boarding Star Commuter 2000 shuttle ST-45, bound to the planet Garel, the rebels made their move. Aboard the shuttle was Minister Maketh Tua, who was negotiating the arrangement with Aqualish arms dealer Amda Wabo. With Wabo only able to speak in his native tongue, Lothal's minister borrowed Senator Bail Organa's protocol droid C-3PO, along with his counterpart astromech, R2-D2 to translate the deal. [22] C1-10P, commonly known as " Chopper," or simply " Chop," was a masculine C1-series astromech droid manufactured by Industrial Automaton that was active during the Clone Wars and the early years of the Galactic Empire. He was a member of the Spectres, a rebel cell led by the Twi'lek captain Hera Syndulla and the Jedi Kanan Jarrus that fought against the Empire. He was responsible for maintaining the Ghost, a modified VCX-100 light freighter which served as the rebel cell's main base of operations.

Ezra tried to pose as the relay station's commander but only drew the attention of Commander Titus. With their presence discovered, Sabine decided to plant detonators. With the relay station alerted, Chopper aided his rebel comrades by realigning the dish to harry the stormtrooper defenders, causing them to fall into the abyss below. While the rebels battled the Imperial forces on the relay station and Jalindi's skies, Saw Gerrera and his Partisans arrived in a U-wing. After dropping proton bombs on the station, Saw evacuated Chopper and his rebel comrades. The resulting explosion destroyed the Jalindi relay and Titus' light cruiser. Saw's U-wing then jumped into hyperspace, taking Chopper and his fellow comrades along. [72] Working with the Partisans [ ]

Chopper and the other rebels took advantage of this action to finish their loading and to flee the facility. Before leaving, the Ghost destroyed the gas refinery with its laser cannons. Once in space, they were reunited with Ezra and the purrgil. From Ezra, they learned that the purrgil depended on the gas to survive and to jump into hyperspace. Having completed their mission, Chopper and the other rebels followed their new purrgil allies through hyperspace. [48] Mission to Ryloth [ ]

Manufactured by Industrial Automaton [2] on Lasan, [1] C1-10P or "Chopper" was known to have existed for a few decades past his expiration date. Despite his antiquated age, Chopper refused to consider himself old. [14] Since the shuttle was equipped with deflector shields, Chopper and the others survived the explosion which engulfed Freighter 2716 and Slavin's Star Destroyer. However, their engines were disabled. Fortunately, the rebels and their charges were rescued by Hera, who arrived in the Ghost. Out of gratitude, the liberated passengers decided to join the Rebel Alliance. [72] Return to Lothal [ ] After fighting off the Jumptroopers, the Ghost fled into the depths of Geonosis. There, they discovered evidence in the form of poison canisters which proved that the Empire had indeed perpetrated genocide against the Geonosians. After collecting visual imagery of the canisters, the rebels freed Klik-Klak and the Geonosian queen egg. The rebels then blasted their way through Brunson's light cruiser by firing proton torpedoes. [61] Defending Chopper Base [ ] After relocating to a safer location, the Spectres continued monitoring the camp. Unsure about where Ezra had gone, the Spectres decided to mount a rescue mission for Sabine. Infiltrating the camp, Chopper was assigned to keep watch outside the painting where Ezra had been last seen. Meanwhile, Hera and Zeb helped Sabine escape from Hydan's mobile command center by activating one of the thrusters, causing the structure to topple. They then fled towards the portal where they were joined by Ezra, who had encountered Ahsoka Tano inside the World Between Worlds and barely escaped the Emperor. While the rebels sealed the portal, Chopper commandeered a Mining Guild excavation driller. The Spectres then escaped the temple before it collapsed into the ground. [81] Trapping Governor Pryce [ ]Yes, Chopper, that means there's a lot more of him." ―Sabine Wren, to Chopper as he grumbles about the discovery of more Lasats [47] Chopper's laziness led him to opt out of helping AP-5 catalog the munitions inventory. Later, he attempted to opt out of helping Zeb inspect a damaged sensor beacon in Sector 6. Still, Chopper was smart enough to "choose between the lighter of two chores." Chopper's unfriendly nature led him to object to Zeb adopting the stray droid EXD-9, who turned out to be an Imperial Infiltrator Droid. Despite his uneasy relationship with Zeb, Chopper had enough sense of team spirit to help his comrade fight off EXD-9. [62] After regrouping at the Lothal resistance's mountainside redoubt, Chopper helped Ezra, Sabine, and Zeb assemble three loth-bat gliders for a mission to rescue their leader Hera Syndulla, who was being imprisoned at the "Dome" in Capital City. Later, Chopper and Zeb rode the speeder bike which drew the gliders towing Kanan, Ezra, and Sabine into the air. Zeb and Chopper then watched as their rebel comrades flew to the "Dome." [78]

Chopper's sense of comradeship with the Spectres led him to participate in several missions on Lothal including the Lothal Jedi Temple, [80] trapping Governor Pryce, [82] and the pivotal Liberation of Lothal. On one occasion, Chopper risked danger to himself by accessing the network terminal at the Dome and being electrified in the process. However, his resilience meant that he was able to reboot. [83] In his later years, companionship with Jacen Syndulla brought out his playful side. [2] Equipment [ ] Despite his cantankerous quality and seemingly sociopathic programming, Chopper was also capable of showing affection, when it suited him. Despite their hostile first encounter, he grew fond of C-3PO, after the latter complimented him for his polite "manners." [22] In addition, Chopper also had a sense of team spirit and loyalty to his fellow Ghost companions. On one occasion, his affection towards Kanan led him to join forces with Sabine, Zeb, and Ezra on a mission to rescue Kanan. [34] 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. [41] The rebels and Mandalorians later ambushed the Imperial convoy carrying Alrich and managed to rescue Clan Wren's leader. However, this victory was overshadowed by news that Governor Saxon had deployed an AT-DP Arc Cannon Prototype carrying the Duchess, a powerful weapon capable of incinerating Mandalorian warriors by targeting the beskar alloys in their armor. The Duchess had been created by Sabine during her days at the Imperial Academy of Mandalore. The rebels and Mandalorians managed to rescue Sabine's mother and brother Ursa and Tristan Wren and escape of one of Bo-Katan's Gauntlet fighters. [71] Later, Chopper was present when Ezra convinced Hera to let him, Sabine, and Chopper try to win Iron Squadron over by repairing their hyperdrive. Chopper joined forces with Sabine and R3-A3 in repairing the damaged ship's hyperdrive. Despite repairing the hyperdrive, their efforts came to naught when Mart diverted the power to the laser cannons and shields. Mart wanted to fight an Imperial force led by Admiral Konstantine against the advice of Ezra, Sabine, Gooti, and Jonner Jin. After the Imperial ships opened fire, Mart agreed to leave. Chopper and the other rebels managed to return to the Phantom II but Mart changed his mind and stayed behind. Outnumbered and outgunned, the rebels were forced to leave Mart behind in his ship. [57] Chopper along with Kanan, Ezra, and Sabine traveled to the rebel base on Yavin 4 where they were joined by Zeb and Rex, who had already relocated there with the remnants of Phoenix Squadron. Soon they were joined by Hera and her Y-wing squadron, who had returned from a mission. Hera's squadron had been ambushed by Imperial forces and had sustained considerable damage. Hera, who had lost her astromech during the supply run, hugged Chopper and remarked that she wished he had been on their mission. [72]Following the Battle of Endor, Sabine Wren painted a mural in LothalNet comm tower E-272, formerly Ezra Bridger's solitary place of residence, depicting the Spectres, including Chopper, on Lothal, flanked by a pair of Loth-wolves and several Loth-cats. Chopper occupied the lower middle of the painting. [83] New Republic Era [ ] New duties [ ] During their search, Chopper succeeded in powering up the abandoned space station. Unfortunately for the rebels, this attracted the attention of another Inquisitor known as the Fifth Brother. While the other rebels looked for supplies, Chopper stayed behind to repair the corrupted files and inventory list. He then heard a strange noise echoing through the hallways and decided to investigate. Following the source of the noise, he was cornered and electrocuted by one of the Seventh Sister's ID9 seeker droids. Although down, Chopper managed to send out a distress call to his companions. The ID9 seeker droid was able to mimic Chopper's cry and lured Ezra and Sabine into another hallway, where they were cornered by the Seventh Sister and Fifth Brother. [38] Despite his sometimes uneasy relationship with Ezra, Chopper beeped in agreement when Ezra told Clan Wren they would be returning to Atollon if the Clan was unable to render the rebels assistance. [70] The two had grown close over the years, with Chopper the only individual [96] who recognized a disguised Bridger when he returned to the known galaxy. [97] Chopper had a close bond with his master Hera and refused to abandon her when they being pursued by Imperial forces following an ill-fated strike on the Lothal Imperial factories. [77] Chopper and his fellow Spectres mourned the death of their comrade Kanan. Chopper comforted Hera while she was mourning for Kanan and pointed out that the late Jedi Knight was a worthy member of her family. [79] The Star Wars lightsaber has become a pop culture staple, with modern adaptations using the iconic weapon sprouting everywhere in media. The popularity of these lightsabers is due to their many uses across numerous genres and fandoms from video games like Super Smash Brothers Ultimate or Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, to live action role plays such as Sabertours and Lightsaber Combat League tournaments fans are able to use them for whatever purpose necessary and often recreate scenes from films themselves! For example, some avid martial artists have adapted choreography techniques popularised by master swordsmen (which they do while wielding plastic replica saber) into forms that mimic the fluidity seen on screen during galactic duels between Obi Wan Kenobi & Darth Vader; Qui Gon Jin vs Darth Maul etc. These types of activities bring about an ever growing community where people work together regardless of age or gender participating in various events suitable for all ages. Cultural Impact Following the briefing, Chopper was being repaired by Hera in her private quarters. Ezra then entered the room and asked Hera about her difficult relationship with Cham. During the conversation, Hera recounted how her father had spent his entire life fighting the Separatists and the Empire. After Hera's mother died, Cham had neglected her to focus on the cause of freeing Ryloth from Imperial rule. Shortly, Cham entered the room and informed the rebels that they should be getting ready for their mission. [16]
