Who is Hera Syndulla?
Hera Syndulla is captain of the Ghost ship and a key figure in the Rebellion. She's the de facto leader of the Ghost crew, too – that's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sabine Wren, Garazeb Orrelios, and the droid Chopper.
Hera is a level-headed, intelligent, and sensible leader who is seriousl🌠y committed to the Rebellion, which means putting the 𒐪mission first. She's not impressed when people disobey direct orders, but she's a kind and compassionate captain who cares deeply about her crew.
Who is Hera Syndulla's father?
Hera's rebel spirit could be in the blood, since her father, Cham Syndulla, 🐷is a revolutionary leader on his home planet of Ryloth. Cham appears in The Clone Wars and is later seen in Rebels.
Hera and her father have a tense relationship since Cham is solely dedicated to Ryloth. But, they som🎐eꦚwhat reconcile in the series and Cham helps the Rebels out when they come to Ryloth (though after briefly betraying them for his own revolutionary ends first). Cham also had a wife and son – Hera's mother and brother – who died; his wife Eleni in a struggle against the Empire, and his unnamed son of causes yet to be revealed.

Does Hera Syndulla have a history with Grand Admiral Thrawn?
Hera has a run-in with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Grand Admiral Thrawn on her home planet of Ryloth, which also involves her father Cham. The incident sees Hera taken as Th𓄧rawn's captive and the Imperial even takes possession of a Syndulla family heirloom, which represents the family. Luckily, Kanan later gets it back for Hera.
The Twi'lek also c🅰omes across Thrawn a fair few times thanks to her status as a key leader in the Rebellion, at one point fighting a huge, almost catastrophic battle against him when the Admiral discovers the Rebel base on the planet Atollon.
What is Hera Syndulla and Kanan Jarrus' relationship?
Hera and Kanan were a couple before Kanan was tragically killed. In fact, Hera declares her love for the Jedi just moments before his heroic sacrifice. To allow the crew to escape an Imperial facility, Kanan holds back a massive blast of fire – but the flames ult♔imately engulf him. Hera is devastated by his loss.
Who is Hera Syndulla's son, Jacen Syndulla?
In the Rebels epilogue, it's revealed that Hera and Kanan had a son together named 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Jacen Syndulla. He's said to be born to fly like his mother, and in her narration, Sabine points out that everyo𓆏ne knows who his father was – so we can assume he's Force-sensitive like Kanan.
Interestingly enough, Jacen is the name of Han Solo and Leia Organa's son in the now defunct Leg🐼ends continuity. Jacen Solo went bad, becoming Darth Caedus. The name could be no coincidence, then, and it's possible Jacen Syndulla has a dark future ahead of him✱.
A revealed Jacen's presence in the show ahead of his live-action debut in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ahsoka episode 3.
How does Hera Syndulla's story end in Star Wars Rebels?
In the Rebels epilogue, we learn that Hera fought in the Battle of Endor – AKA the fight at the end of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Return of the Jedi, which destroys the second Death Star. She🐓's last seen flying with her son Jacen, and fortunately both of them look very happy.
What is Hera Syndulla doing in Ahsoka?
Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays the Twi'lek Rebel in Ahsoka. So far, we've learned she's been busy as a General before she calls in some help from an old friꦜend, Ahsoka Tano. We've not found out too much about her life yet in the show, but we know she's still got Chopper by her side, and in Ahsoka episode 3, we final🐬ly meet Jacen.
Hera also does her best to get the New Republic's aid in the race to stop Thrawn's return, but she's blocked by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Senator Xiono, who 📖thinks she's just trying to find Ezra.
The General is lateꦗr called to answer for helping Ahsoka and Sabine get to Thrawn, but rescue comes in the form of C-3PO, who was sent along by none other than Leia Organa.
In 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ahsoka episode 8, we see Hera very briefly when Ezra f🅷inally returns to the main galaxy (though Ahsoka and Sabine remain stranded). Ezra, Hera, and Chopper reunite in a touching moment.
All episodes of Ahsoka are airing on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Plus now.
