Chopper is most certainly a psychopath and war criminal with the high death toll. But like humanoids, he developed and adapted from his experiences. I think Chopper is a droid who has been through untold horrors of not one but two galactic wars. He was found abandoned by Hera and I think that his PTSD and abandonment has shaped a lot of his behavior. Is it right? Absolutely not. He should definitely not be such a jerk and try to murder his teammates. But he does show a great deal of care for them too, especially Hera. I feel his time with AP-5 has also show how much he does care and want companionship. I do adore their relationship. They're like Bert and Ernie

I truly appreciate your analysis of this character and agree with almost everything you said. His vicious ingenuity, however, demonstrated in the intradictor cruiser mission, and his animosity towards other droids are precisely why I want him on my team. When fighting an asymmetrical war, you need someone like Chopper to be able to create the mass casualties needed to defeat the enemy, rather than risking their redeployment only to fight them again. As for his animosity to Ezra Bridger, I completely understand as I found Ezra more obnoxious than Clone Wars Season One Ashoka. Seriously, Ezra made me pro Empire whenever he was on screen.

Pretty sure that one of the things Chopper threw out of that bin was a lego...

[@Vs_stuff_and_things]

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SHOW THE B2EMO SCENE I AM GONNA CRY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@JustMe-tx3nm]

I have always wondered if the Y-Wing crash changed his personality

[@JustMe-tx3nm]

I don’t mean in a PTSD way but he might have suffered actual damage that Hera never discovered

[@rebeccalatty2293]

Chopper even fought R2 D2 in Rebels

[@nicgundy]

I've been telling my dad as he watches the first half of the Rebels show how much of a menace Chopper is ahahahaha!!

[@simplyixia3683]

My friend and I said it this way: R2 will fight you in a Wendy’s parking lot, but Chopper will make castanets out of your kneecaps.

[@aster4jaden]

Chopper is a treasure and must be protected.

[@philmorton4590]

I find it interesting, did you model chopper after our Australian criminal of the same name?

[@autodidactic]

chopper is hilarious in a bender rodriguez kinda way

[@Idkman707]

"evil and murderous." Don't forget vain, remember when C3P0 said he was the most sensible crew member of the Ghost, something that brought Chopper much delight

[@GenerationTech]

And also when Lando praised him too 😆

[@SebBurnsRubber]

WE LOVE CHOPPER WE LOVE CHOPPER WE LOVE CHOPPER 100% my fav astromech So much spunk and personality conveyed with only disgruntled whirs and beeps 😂 My favourite space terrorist astromech for sure 💯 I think chopper could take R2 in a fight as well 😎

[@cameronbutterfield7259]

Person from earth: You are just like Hitler. Chopper: No I'm not. Who is he? Person: someone who killed over 6 million people Chopper: Rookie numbers.

[@KingCobraLolcow]

ahsoka is coming out right now

[@InternetGravedigger]

I haven't watched any of these, but you make a VERY good case for this droid being a psychopath and menace to society...

[@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45]

Chopper is the embodiment of Black Air Force Energy in Star Wars.

[@mellojoe9421]

As much as I do like chopper, it of course concerns me how many people absolutely love everything about chopper. Probably says a lot about their character. It’s like loving the character of joker, D-fens from falling down, those people who genuinely love Rick Sanchez, people who relate to duckman. One might end up questioning their morals a little bit.

[@TheRealAlpha2]

While there are a lot of people who show a need for chaos and expect every hero to kill their villains at the first opportunity, some people also realize that even a character like Chopper can have their actions focused towards a common "good" cause. In most of the missions he's been used, the only real losses were from the enemy side. So if they manage him properly, he's only a threat to who they point him at. And his chaotic nature... well, some people would say what didn't Kill Ezra made him stronger. Dangerous? Yes, but they needed dangerous.

[@MrDibara]

It feels liberating to express and release that inner joy for murder, chaos and a sense of "I don't give a fuck", specially since we're not harming anyone in real life. 😊

[@ArcaneJawa]

If Chopper actually existed, he'd be deactivated for the common good. Since he's a harmless fictional character, there's absolutely no real harm in enjoying his antics. It's merely escapism and not a reflection of anyone's psychological makeup.

[@Commander23c]

You don’t understand the concept of war crimes and you justify things like a terrorist.

[@Commander23c]

So then when people enjoy Imperials doing the same that’s just escapism? Sweet

[@jneumy566]

Now, what if Chopper met Rocket from Guardians of the Galaxy. Would they not mix at all, or would they be an ultimate force for chaotic destruction?

[@Aeropunk08]

Chopper reminds me of my friends any time we play a co-op game.

[@liftedmarco4976]

Him and the “I just love killing” guy from Rick and Morty would make an insane bounty hunter duo

[@craig.a.glesner]

Holy crap, Chopper’s a Y-Wing astromech?! Well shit, he just got 100% cooler; the Y-Wing being my second fave SW ship.

[@craig.a.glesner]

Also, has anyone else noticed for at least live action Chopper he is actually speaking Basic but with a hella serious filter on it? Because the “And that’s bad?” after Hera says the drive would fall on the city if they shoot it down, damn that’s clever and cool.

[@GenerationTech]

Yeah I totally noticed that too 😆

[@craig.a.glesner]

@@GenerationTech I never really caught Rebels so this is new to me. As to him being a psychopath one has to wonder if maybe he just has some serious PTSD from his time in the Clone Wars?

[@Facetiously.Esoteric]

Lmao I was literally telling my buddy Chopper is my favorite character two days ago.

[@Alobo075]

To borrow some fun dialog from "Firefly" Normal People: "He's a war criminal!" Chopper Fans: "Yes, but he's our war criminal, so leave him alone."
