We've been hearing lots of rumors lately about the names of characters in the upcoming animated series Star Wars Rebels, and now we have official confirmation for a new character (that wasn't on any of the rumor lists). In an exclusive video for the German website moviepilot.de executive producer Dave Filoni revealed the new astromech Chopper. Filoni had the following to say about Chopper,
"We always say that if Artoo resembles a dog , a cat chopper accordingly . This means that chopper does things on which he has just lust. He's a little stubborn and irritable . I think Chopper will provide a nice change from R2D2 . It is really like Chopper - at least cat people will love him."
Moviepilote.de also released an English video revealing Chopper that features Filoni along with other Rebels crew members such as Keith Kellogg, Amy Beth Christenson, and Kilian Plunkett. Check it out below:
They also revealed several new images of Chopper. Check them out below:
Below, you can also find an English translation of Moviepilot.de's interview with Filoni (originally published in German),
What will be the biggest difference between the new series and Clone Wars ?I think that the animation style has most changed. The look of Rebels is more similar to the original Star Wars trilogy , while Clone Wars refers more to the new trilogy. We will see many things that are popular in the Star Wars universe , but long gone were seen . The
Star Destroyers , TIE Fighters, and the stormtroopers - basically back
the empire and that is the big change that we've seen for a long time
only the Republic in action. The whole is thus tonality different. Clone Wars was just towards the end, with the fall of the Jedi Order ,
more and more gloomy as we get with the old joke Rebels and the speed the original parts.Will there be any connections to the new Star Wars movies ?One can not say difficult. It is all still in the process. The stories are temporally considered just too far away from each other to make a direct connection. Connected, they are of course the fact that they are all part of the universe and of history strand.What is so special about the new character will be introduced today - Chopper ?We always say that if Artoo resembles a dog , a cat chopper accordingly . This means that chopper does things on which he has just lust. He's a little stubborn and irritable . I think Chopper will provide a nice change from R2D2 . It is really like Chopper - at least cat people will love him.Why you should watch the series ?I think you will like the characters and their adventures. It is simply a classic Star Wars narrative structure. Our heroes are nevertheless pursued by the mighty galactic empire and I
think you will really immerse yourself in the story and want to follow
what is happening week after week.What was your first Star Wars memory? What is your first Star Wars memory ?The ride home after I saw Star Wars. I sat with my brother , in the Toyota Corolla my father and we did so
when we were in the Millennium Falcon and TIE Fighters would shoot,
which actually were only other vehicles on the road.And the most important question for all Star Wars fans: Who shot first ?HA! Well, it all depends on when your the first time you saw Star Wars and what opinion you have . The correct answer could be that it was Han or Greedo, or it could even be that both have scored the same time. It just depends on how your own experience.
