Fandom Favorites General Hera Syndulla

Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons,

General Hera Syndulla is the legendary Rebel freedom fighter, and daughter of Cham Syndulla, the founder of the Free Ryloth Movement against the Empire. There is not a battle or mission that she will not take on and accomplish. Present at many battles during the Galactic Civil War, she is best known for her affiliation with one of the Rebellion's first resistance cells, the Phoenix Squadron. She is an ace pilot, a markswoman unmatched, and with her trusty droid, Chopper, she has seen her share of the galaxy's fight for peace. No matter the successes she has alongside her teammates, she will always remember the sacrifice that her love, Kanan Jarrus, made so that she and their child could live.

Now, using the current canon books and various media, it is time for me to share with you what I have discovered about one of the galaxy's most famous Twi'leks. Regardless of whether you may agree or not, this analysis is meant to be a fun way to speculate and celebrate one of Star Wars' most inspiring characters. I will revise this analysis as I read more canon material and as the Ahsoka series unfolds. I will also denote when I have included speculation.

Have fun!
