The Ahsoka Character Guide: All The Star Wars Rebels Details You Need To Know – /Film

Few revolutionary leaders are as driven and brilliant as Hera Syndulla (played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead), who spearheaded her own resistance movement aboard her starship, the Ghost, along with a crew including Sabine Wren, Kanan Jarrus, and Ezra Bridger, among others. Having witnessed the devastation of the Clone Wars firsthand, Hera understood the need to dive into the heart of danger when absolutely necessary, which culminated in a rebellion she led on Lothal. 

Over the years, Hera served in the capacity of Phoenix Leader and helped expand and consolidate Rebel forces, fighting oppression on every level possible until the liberation of Lothal and the eventual dismantling of the Empire was made possible. She also played a crucial role in the battles of Scarif, Hoth, and Endor, among countless others, and continued to serve as a respected military leader after the formation of the New Republic.

It is known that Hera regards Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) in great esteem, and the two remained close confidants over the years. As Thrawn’s (Lars Mikkelsen) return in “Ahsoka” will directly jeopardize the galaxy’s hard-earned peace, and could potentially galvanize remnant Imperial pockets to rise up again, General Syndulla emerges as a crucial character who will have Ahsoka’s back in her fight against the Chiss military strategist. Hera and her crew have undergone massive trials, and they’ve had to make painful sacrifices to attain the delicate peace that the galaxy enjoys as a whole, which makes her contributions in the face of fresh threats all the more meaningful, and necessary. (Debopriyaa Dutta)
