  • A lot of people remember Chopper from the rebels tv series as a slightly grumpy astromech that served as comic relief. But If we take a closer look at the actions of this tiny machine, it's clear that there are some very troubling patterns of behavior. It is possible that this astromech is completely anti-social and not only a danger to himself but everyone around him.

    To quote Dave Filoni: "If Artoo is the family dog, Chopper is the cat." Chopper has chosen his person - it's Hera. Everyone else is, at best, tolerated.

      Because Stormtroopers were portrayed as beyond dumb and without any personality. It was certainly a kids cartoon because adult media tends to highlight that even your enemies are people too. I mean Rebels played out like a PS2 game. Stormtroopers were expendable like they weren’t living beings. We were supposed to feel bad anytime like three rebels died but do nothing but blink when Imperials die en masse.

    Chopper is most certainly a psychopath and war criminal with the high death toll. But like humanoids, he developed and adapted from his experiences. I think Chopper is a droid who has been through untold horrors of not one but two galactic wars. He was found abandoned by Hera and I think that his PTSD and abandonment has shaped a lot of his behavior. Is it right? Absolutely not. He should definitely not be such a jerk and try to murder his teammates. But he does show a great deal of care for them too, especially Hera. I feel his time with AP-5 has also show how much he does care and want companionship. I do adore their relationship. They're like Bert and Ernie

    I truly appreciate your analysis of this character and agree with almost everything you said. His vicious ingenuity, however, demonstrated in the intradictor cruiser mission, and his animosity towards other droids are precisely why I want him on my team. When fighting an asymmetrical war, you need someone like Chopper to be able to create the mass casualties needed to defeat the enemy, rather than risking their redeployment only to fight them again. As for his animosity to Ezra Bridger, I completely understand as I found Ezra more obnoxious than Clone Wars Season One Ashoka. Seriously, Ezra made me pro Empire whenever he was on screen.

    Their is only one sentient sophont that C1-10P cares about, that is Hera Syndulla. If she reminds him she wants someone else to live he will hold back. Everything else can burn.
    C1-10P is not the only character like this, although he is a bit extreme. Jayne from Firefly/Serenity and Amos from the Expanse are very similar. Incredibly loyal to a few people and willing to murder without warning anyone else.

    Chopper isn’t just another droid he was found by Hera after the battle of Ryloth and has probably been through a lot of combat missions as a Y-wing bombers navigator and I think as a result of his experiences he’s adapting to take on more of an active combative role thanks to his memories not getting wiped making him more of an asset and at the same is causing him to be unhinged his memories of the clone wars are still there making him think he’s still has to conduct hyperspace jumps and manage the systems of a Y- wing while being shot at by Separatist forces it’s like droid ptsd

      Let's not forget he might've been with the pilot of that Y-wing for a long time and probably had a close relation and suddenly him and his pilot (who most likely died) are abandoned by the Republic as clones and droids were just numbers, despite risking themselves and giving everything for the war effort.
      Then Hera came along and was the first person in a long time to actually care for him. This would explain why he does not care for anyone but Hera, since no one cared about him but Hera.

In most of the missions he's been used, the only real losses were from the enemy side. So if they manage him properly, he's only a threat to who they point him at.
