Heroine Overview

Hera: Flying is... It's about a feeling.
Omega: What do you mean?
Hera: When I close my eyes and picture myself up there, I feel it. The instruments help guide you, but you plot your course. You're free.
~ Hera explains what flying means for her.
If all you do is fight for your own life, then your life is worth nothing!
~ Hera
Cham: This is what's wrong with you, child. You hold on to the wrong things, devote your time and effort to lost causes. What a waste.
Hera: I am not wasting my life. I help people. I lead ships into battle. I am part of something bigger.
Cham: The Rebellion. I thought you knew better than to put your faith in outsiders. You forget what happened when we trusted the Republic.
Hera: This is different. The rebels are fighting to free everyone.
Cham: Free everyone? I don't care about everyone. I care only about Ryloth.
Hera: So I've noticed.
~ Hera and her father Cham having a dispute over what really matters.

Hera Syndulla, also known by her callsign Spectre 2, is one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Kanan Jarrus) of the 2014-2018 animated television series Star Wars Rebels, a supporting character in Season 1 of the 2021 Disney+ animated streaming series Star Wars: The Bad Batch, and the tritagonist of the 2023 Disney+ live-action streaming series Ahsoka.

She is the pilot of the ship Ghost and is also the owner of the ship, having acquired through it unknown but possibly shady resource. Nevertheless, Hera serves as the conscience of the group and the thing that keeps everyone working together when they otherwise wouldn't, making her the mother figure of the Ghost Crew. She is also the daughter of freedom fighter Cham Syndulla.

She is voiced by Vanessa Marshall, who also voiced Black Widow in The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Black Canary in Young Justice, Black Canary of Injustice 2 and also in Lego DC Villains, Irwin Dracula in in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Olga Gurlukovich in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Samus Aran in Metroid Prime series, Danica LeBlake in What's New, Scooby-Doo?, Eva in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, Strangelove in the Metal Gear Solid series and Mouse in Fish Hooks.

She is portrayed by Mary Elizabeth Winstead (who also played Wendy Christensen in Final Destination 3, Lucy McClane in the Die Hard series, Ramona Flowers and Future Ramona in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, Kate Lloyd in The Thing, Michelle in 10 Cloverfield Lane, Huntress in the DC Extended Universe, and Danielle Zakarweski in Gemini Man) in the Ahsoka series.

History[]

Background[]

Hera is the daughter of the Clone War hero and revolutionist, General Cham Syndulla. When she was young, her mother was killed during the earlier days of the Galactic Empire, and she did have a younger brother who died when he was very young. She grew up in the Ten Provinces at Ryloth, where she had a strained relationship with her father when he fought for their homeworld. During her childhood, Hera grew up on tales of how the purrgil, large space-dwelling creatures, had inspired people to develop the hyperdrive. As she grew older however, Syndulla came to regard the purrgil as a menace because they endangered hyperspace travel by crashing into ships. While working as a pilot, she lost more than one friend to collisions with purrgil. As a girl, Hera found an old C1 droid, C1-10P, from the wreck of a Y-wing during the final days of the Clone Wars.

Following the formation of the Galactic Empire, Hera decide to leave Ryloth to fight for others, acquiring the Ghost, a modified VCX-100 light freighter.  She met Kanan Jarrus on a mission to Gorse, where she learned he was once a Jedi Padawan after exposing his use of the Force to her. 

In other media[]

Disney Infinity 3.0[]

Hera Syndulla is a Townsperson in Disney Infinity 3.0. She and her ship, the Ghost, are unlocked by linking a Disney Account with the game, which allowed players to access other people's Toy Boxes. After the game was discontinued on March 17, 2017, this was no longer possible, and the Ghost is currently unobtainable.

She is also seen in the game as a Costume, which can be purchased in-game to be unlocked as a Toy. She is one of many townspeople who may visit your INterior.

She was initially planned to have a figure along with the rest of the Ghost Crew (minus Chopper), but the series was cancelled before her figure could be released.

Appearance[]

She is a beautiful Twi'lek woman who stands 1.76 meters, has apple green skin, emerald green eyes and red lips. Her eyes would sometimes look blue-green in the light and her Lekku had a pattern that was a lighter shade of green and hung from her headgear. She wears a pair of goggles, but she only wears them whenever she's out in the open air or for protection when it best suits her. Most of the time, she wears a white, orange and brown flight suit and boots, but she went through a minor redesign in season 3 where she was given a patch to signify her role as the Phoenix Leader in the Phoenix Squadron. She also wears a pair of goggles, but she only wears them whenever she's out in the open air or for protection when it best suits her.

Personality and Traits[]

Hera's personality is somewhat two-sided; while she exudes a no-nonsense style of command, she is also known for being a very warm and compassionate individual. As a highly capable pilot and captain, Hera took good care of her ship, as well as her crew. Upon meeting Ezra, Hera developed a sort of motherly bond with the boy as she had with the other crewmembers. She was a true believer in the rebel cause and inspired hope in the rest of the crew. She was also the only other crew member aware of Kanan's test after Ezra stole the latter's holocron. Hera was in love with Kanan and usually confided in him. She was more than capable of putting her foot down when she saw conflict within the crew, such as sending Ezra and Zeb out on an errand together when the two had been fighting. While an adept fighter, Hera was also very diplomatic and knew how to unite her crew to reach a common goal.

A smart, tactful and highly observant individual, Hera could quickly detect a threat. As Lando successfully played her crew members off one another to his own ends, Hera caught on to his trickery and put the con-man in his place. Her skills of deduction proved invaluable when her suspicions of Trayvis allowed her to expose the man as an Imperial agent. She also remembered when the Jedi and clones fought in the Clone Wars, at one point being saved from death by them, and encouraged Kanan to trust Rex and put aside his past animosity towards clones. Hera is also highly perceptive, often sensing things that even Kanan's perceptions couldn't.

As with other Twi'lek females, many considered her attractive, particularly Kanan, but also less savory characters as well, including Okadiah Garson, Azmorigan, Lando, and even Kallus. She knew how to use her natural charm and beauty to her advantage when necessary, as seen when she manipulated the gangster Azmorigan in order to escape his ship.

Weapons and Gear[]

Hera mainly used a Blurrg-1120 holdout blaster when fighting the Empire, which she kept in a holster strapped to her right boot.

She mainly wore a tight orange jumpsuit and a pair of flight goggles on the top of her head as she was the Rebels' pilot.

Trivia[]

  • Hera was the daughter of Cham Syndulla, who was first introduced in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
  • By the time of the series, Hera was 24 years old.
  • In season 3, Hera underwent a minor redesign. Her undersuit is now two shades of tan and has more detailed texturing.
  • As of "Wings of the Master", Hera serves as Phoenix Leader.
  • Instead of having a Ryloth accent, Hera has a human accent that she presumably adopted as she grew up among more people outside her kind. However, her natural Twi'lek accent comes out when she gets particularly angered or flustered, as shown in "Homecoming" when she's interacting with her father and he accuses her of devoting her time to lost causes and efforts (this very interaction is one of the page's quotes).
  • When Hera is particularly angry, she'll act like a mother and use a character's full name.
  • She was referenced in the Rogue One film, in a scene at Yavin 4 where a General Syndulla is called for over the speaker system, which Dave Filoni has clarified was meant to be Hera(not her father, Cham). He also stated that Hera, by this point, has become a General in the Rebel Alliance.
  • Hera and Sabine are the second main characters to be absent in the series.
  • According to the show's producers, she is "strong minded", but also simultaneously nurturing and caring towards the others, having the ability to talk to all of them and get them to embrace their better natures.
  • It is revealed in the epilogue of Star Wars Rebels that she had a son with Kanan named Jacen, who was called Spectre 7 and named in honor of Jacen Solo from Star Wars Legends.
