Hera Syndulla

Hera Syndulla was born into chaos.

The Clone Wars left her homeworld devastated and broken. Growing up with a father who refused to let the Empire reign over his people, she learned what it meant to fight for what she believed in. But she also learned if she was going to change the galaxy, she was going to have to do it her own way.

Desperate to make the galaxy a better, safter place -- on her own terms, not under her father’s control -- she set out to transform her passion into a rebellion.

Her quest began with a jaded hidden Force-user named Kanan Jarrus. It didn’t take long for these two to form an unbreakable bond. Though they put their work before their feelings for as long as they could, their crew grew from two to six before their eyes. It was no longer just a crew; it became a family.

Together, the Ghost family risked their lives time and again to protect the innocent as well as each other. Eventually, one of them would give their life to save everything they loved -- but not before leaving Hera with someone else to continue to fight for.

Hera Syndulla has yet to appear in more than a few adult novels. But her presence in comics continues to grow, and the trend is sure to continue. Alexander Freed’s recent books have given us glimpses into her post-Rebels life. But it’s doubtful this is the end of her story.

While you rewatch her evolution through the animated series and reread the Alphabet Squadron books, you can also check out Hera Syndulla’s additional appearances in the Star Wars Expanded Universe -- including multiple Doctor Aphra comics.
