C1-10P “Chopper”: The Grump with a Heart of Gold
Chopper, officially designated C1-10P, is the irritable Astromech droid from Star Wars Rebels who proves that sass and stubbornness are just part of the hero toolkit. Built from mismatched spare parts and loaded with attitude, Chopper serves the Ghost crew with technical genius and a flair for mischief. Whether he’s hacking Imperial systems, sabotaging enemy ships, or bickering with Ezra and Zeb, Chopper’s unpredictable antics are as legendary as his loyalty. He may grumble like a broken blender, but when the chips are down, there’s no better droid to have at your side.
