- "This junky little astromech droid keeps the Ghost running. Lucky for him he's good at it, because he is a pain."
- ―Ezra Bridger
C1-10P, commonly known as "Chopper," was a C1 model astromech droid with masculine programming who was active in the early years of the Galactic Empire. His master, Hera Syndulla was a member of a resistance movement opposing the Empire. By five years prior to the Battle of Yavin, most of his original components had been replaced by second hand parts.
Chopper made himself an invaluable member of the Ghost by customizing the vessel to such a degree that he is the only one who understands its systems well enough to keep it running. Despite his mechanical skills, he preferred to do things such as playing holochess rather than performing menial labor aboard the ship. His favorite feature was his electroshock prod, which he used to shock enemies.
Chopper spoke binary, a common droid language. He could only be understood by Hera, Kanan Jarrus, and Sabine Wren. He and Ezra Bridger enjoy playing tricks on one another. He also later grew fond of C-3PO, after the latter complimented him for his polite "manners."
Biography[]
After raiding an Imperial supply convoy, Kanan Jarrus, Hera Syndulla, and C1-10P found themselves under attack by Imperial TIE fighters. After the attack disabled both the Ghost's shields and internal comm system, Chopper found himself receiving conflicting orders from both Syndulla and Jarrus regarding which to fix first. Chopper's ultimate solution to the problem was to take charge of the laser cannons on the Phantom and destroy the final TIE fighter himself.
Personality and traits[]
- "And then there's that droid. Chopper or something? It's got lots of attitude for a machine."
- ―Ezra Bridger
Due to his advanced age and lack of consistent maintenance, Chopper developed a sarcastic, and cranky demeanor. However, he did have a mischievous streak, often pulling pranks on the other denizens of the Ghost. Unlike many other astrodroids such as the famous R2-D2, Chopper did not care about being loved by the organics he worked with. 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. Though he did not get along with the Ghost's computer, the Phantom followed Chopper's commands without question.
