In fact, it’s even said that Chopper’s soft side shows when the droid is watching over Kanan Jarrus and Hera’s child, Jacen Syndulla.
Though the droid may not admit it, Chopper is clearly dedicated to the mission at hand and loyal to the rebels, especially Hera. No doubt, that droid roamed Lothal until running out of power. Even the droid’s more self-motivated moments betray Chopper’s true feelings for the Ghost crew at one point, Chop becomes jealous of another droid and pushes it out of the Ghost’s cargo hold during flight. After all, Chop’s choice was made in favor of the Rebel Alliance’s aims. Perhaps that was just the most logical decision at the moment. On another occasion, the droid escaped an Imperial ship by opening an airlock - and didn’t care that several stormtroopers were sucked into space, too. On the flip side, though, Chop stays by Ezra’s side during a harrowing mission on Tatooine. It’s no secret that the droid has almost ended Ezra Bridger’s life more than once. Whatever the case, Chopper rarely shows remorse. Zeb Orrelios, the cunning Lasat muscle of the Ghost crew, believes Chopper’s damaged logic circuits are responsible for the droid’s…personality. While the stubborn and often irritable Chopper doesn’t seem as reliable as R2-D2 at first glance, the droid’s mischievous streak gives Chop the edge, especially in combat. It’s hard not to when the droid has been such a formative part of the Star Wars franchise, as well as a core member of the Rebel Alliance. Whenever C-3PO calls R2 an “old friend,” the audience feels the same swell of emotion. And in the sequels, Artoo is the literal key to locating an exiled Luke again. Later, the astromech helps reunite the Skywalker siblings by carrying a message from Leia Organa to Obi-Wan (by way of Luke), and aids in Leia’s rescue from the Death Star.Īfter R2-D2 served as Anakin’s trusty copilot in the Battle of Naboo, the astromech remains with Luke through thick and thin, from the destruction of the first Death Star to Luke’s training session on Dagobah. Without Artoo, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, and Obi-Wan Kenobi would have likely ended up in even more compromising situations during the Clone Wars. When Artoo is introduced in The Phantom Menace, the droid is the only one on Queen Padmé Amidala’s ship capable of completing repairs mid-flight - and while taking fire. There’s no denying that R2-D2 is a special droid. “If Artoo is the family dog, Chopper is the cat.” The Case For R2-D2 According to Dave Filoni, executive producer of Star Wars Rebels: Given that both Chopper and R2-D2 are astromech droids, fans are bound to draw comparisons between the two. Still, all of those droids are second-rate compared to Chopper. Even Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) - a decidedly less popular entry - debuted the memorable revolutionary 元-37, a singular droid composed of astromech and protocol parts. The Mandalorian (2019–) introduced viewers to IG-11, a reprogrammed assassin droid who becomes Grogu’s protector of sorts. Later on, Rogue One (2016) featured K-2SO, a former Imperial security droid who became part of the Rebel Alliance.
After all, the sequel trilogy gave Star Wars fans BB-8. Throughout the prequel trilogy, which began with 1999’s The Phantom Menace, viewers learn more about the droids’ origin stories, and budding companionship.īut just because a character has been around since the beginning doesn't make them the best of the best. Both Artoo and Threepio made their debut in 1977’s A New Hope like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, they’ve been around since the franchise’s inception. Fans who err on the side of picking a tried-and-true classic will likely settle on the dependable R2-D2, or the anxiety-riddled human protocol droid C-3PO. When it comes to the most-loved droid in Star Wars, there are a lot of great picks.
