Hera Syndulla
General Hera Syndulla is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise, voiced by Vanessa Marshall in the animated series Star Wars Rebels, The Freemaker Adventures, Forces of Destiny, and The Bad Batch, and the video game Star Wars: Squadrons, and portrayed by Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the live-action miniseries Ahsoka. The Twi'lek daughter of Ryloth freedom fighter Cham Syndulla, and widowed lover of Jedi knight Kanan Jarrus/Caleb Dume, with whom she has a son, Jacen Syndulla, General Syndulla is an expert pilot and central figure in the formation of the Rebel Alliance in its fight against the Galactic Empire after leading a small rebel insurgency on the planet of Lothal that gained the attention of Senator Bail Organa.
Marshall's portrayal of Hera Syndulla has received a universally positive critical reception.
The character of Hera Syndulla was first created in 2014 for the animated television show Star Wars Rebels. The character was first revealed on February 20, 2014 with the announcement that she would be voiced by Vanessa Marshall in a video posted to the Star Wars YouTube channel. The character was named after the Greek goddess of marriage, women and family Hera, meaning "protector". When Marshall was auditioning for the role, Star Wars Rebels was using a secret title but Marshall saw the character "described as a pilot who wanted to see the 'tyranny' fall" and inserted Star Wars elements like the Empire into the character description when she was auditioning.
Syndulla's outfit in Rebels was designed to imitate a classic X-Wing pilot flight outfit that is mixed with elements from World War II-era pilot gear such as a leather shoulder assembly and flight goggles. For season 3 of Rebels, Hera underwent a minor redesign with more texturing added to the character model and adding a patch to signify her position as Phoenix Leader in the Rebellion's Phoenix Squadron.
Hera's leadership style is a more mature and emotionally intelligent one. The Rebels episode "Homecoming" deals with how Hera’s sense of duty to the whole galaxy conflicts with her father’s commitment to their home planet Ryloth. She convinces her father Cham Syndulla to widen his perspective and fight for the freedom of other planets that are not Ryloth.
Hera Syndulla serves in a mother-figure role to the rest of the Ghost Crew, mentoring them and helping to hold the group together when they would otherwise fall apart. In particular, she forms a motherly bond with Ezra Bridger who was orphaned as a child.
In 0 BBY, Syndulla became a mother to son Jacen Syndulla with the late Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus.
Hera Syndulla is mentioned in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story on the Rebel Alliance's Yavin IV base when an announcer on the base intercom summons "General Syndulla" to the briefing room. Dave Filoni confirmed that it was indeed referencing Hera rather than her father. Additionally, Hera's droid Chopper is briefly seen in the background.
