C1-10P

C1-10P, commonly known as "Chopper," was an Astromech droid with a masculine programming who was active in the early years of the Galactic Empire. Belonging to a band of individuals that rebelled against the Empire, he was made of spare parts, since his masters could not afford anything new. Unlike many other astrodroids such as the famous R2-D2, Chopper did not care about being loved by the organics he worked with. While he was always cantankerous, stubborn, and irritable, Chopper would always help save the day, prompting his partners to forgive his personality quirks.

Chopper's language can only be understood by Hera Syndulla and Sabine Wren, and he and Ezra Bridger enjoy playing tricks on one another.

C1-10P is set to appear in the upcoming animated television series Star Wars Rebels, which will begin airing on Disney XD in fall 2014. Chopper's appearance is directly inspired from concept artist Ralph McQuarrie's original Episode IV design sketches for R2-D2.
