Full Series Cham Syndulla

I don't think he will join the Rebellion though.

 

He might realize that working as a bigger group would help free Ryloth faster.

 

About time! Loved him in both TCW and Lords of the Sith. Dang, and now Rebels, he's really making the rounds now isn't he?


Sent from my R8 unit

 

He is. And we will hopefully learn more about Hera too.

 

If I remember correctly, the biggest lesson Cham Syndulla came away understanding after the events of Lords of the Sith was the realization that that there was a wider galaxy of good folks in need of help, beyond just the borders of the Ryloth system.

I seem to remember that he decided to redouble his efforts to fight against the Empire and help those people in need.

The Cham Syndulla of TCW almost certainly would balk at joining the Rebellion.

Heck, the Syndulla at the start of Lords of the Sith may have told the Rebellion where to stick it.

But if Lucasfilm means what they say, when they say that the novels (and comics and everything else) are not only canon, but will actively affect the other mediums, then Syndulla may already be a major part of that Rebellion (and, like Organa, Hera, Tano, etc. may have been for many, many years, now).


It will be interesting to see. I know that I cannot wait to see him again!

 

Now I only read Lots once so I might be starting to forget some key events by now. However from what I remember is that the vast majority of the book took place on Ryloth with Cham's group being mainly all Twi'leks. And Cham was reinvigorated at the end because of what Isval did for him.

 

Pretty much.

 

Absolutely.

But I seem to recall Syndulla having finally come to realize that the needs of the galaxy went beyond just Ryloth and the Twi'leks by the end?

But I looked last evening and couldn't find my copy. I may have lent it out.

Iron_lord?

 

I have not read the book, but if what you said is accurate then it would make sense if he ends up joining the rebellion with Hera's help.

 

Yeah he may have realized that due to Vader and the Emperor coming to Ryloth themselves. From what I remember though before

Spoiler

Isval gave herself up

Spoiler

she was saying that he had to keep on fighting for Hera. Can't remember if she said anything about the galaxy as a whole but I clearly do remember her mentioning Hera.

 

Really? This is awesome! He was a great character. Yes, I wonder whether we will see him interact with Hera, and her talk about space and flight and wanting to fly amongst the stars since being a little girl?

Not to mention, seeing Ryloth and the aftermath would be awesome!

Mace Windu references would be interesting. That line and conversation between them: How long before I am fighting you, Master Jedi?

 

Cham seems to me to believe in freedom for the Galaxy in general... but for Ryloth very specifically. If helping the Rebellion is going to be of direct benefit to his people, he'll do it. But he would be very reluctant to risk Twilek lives for another planet's benefit for anything so nebulous as 'principles.' Hera is more idealistic I think, Cham being more pragmatic

 

I've got to track down my copy of Lords of the Sith now. It's driving me nuts.

As jaminjedi says, it was Isval at the end who seemed to really get through to Cham. He ended up reasserting his commitment to the cause.

And, yes -- if I remember correctly (which I'm beginning to doubt) -- Cham was also inspired to start thinking about more than just the Twi'leks and Ryloth.


Anyway, if anyone is interested in Syndulla, the Twi'leks and their struggle against the tyranny of the Empire during the earlier years following the end of the Clone War, I can really recommend LoTS.

Hey, one more thought: Anyone know whether the voice actor who performed Syndulla in TCW (Robin Atkin Downes) will be reprising the role?

 

I don't have any contacts inside Disney or Lucasfilm so I can't say.

 

Thing I liked about Cham was that he saw through the sham and charade of the Republic and the Clones. On this show I have a feeling they may lose that, and he's gonna be pro-Clone and pro-Republic seemingly forgetting everything about the Republic and Palpatine did and won't be the same character we saw in TCW. Hera was basically singing a ballad for the Republic and the Clones, but you don't get that impression during the TCW episode. Its probably one of the darker episodes since all the "good" the Republic was supposedly doing was a lie, and Mace and the Jedi were being used as instruments of oppression.

 

Now that I think about it I would be surprised if Numa would play any type of significant role or perhaps even appear at all. My reasoning is that the only reason she would be in the story would be to show us what some of those kids from the TCW episode turned into once they got older. However we pretty much already have that with Hera. Having Numa would pretty much just be repeating the same storyline we already have seen with Hera. Could be wrong but I do know that it often weighs down the story if there are too many identical character types.

 

How long before he offers one of them a jelly baby? (assuming whose voicing him is who I think it is (as in probably WAY off but still a funny thought!))

 

Cham Syndulla IS supposed to be Hera's FATHER right?

 

Yeah, Pablo confirmed it in an old Rebels Recon.

 

Has it been confirmed that the other Twi'lek (the one in Jedi Knight Fett's profile) is Numa from the "Innocents on Ryloth" episode? I really really really loved that episode of TCW.

 

In the trailer you could see the female Twi'lek have a drawing on her chest of the purple Tooka that Nuna is holding in the picture. I think that confirms it's Nuna

 

If the green Twi'lek introduces herself as Numa, I think that would be my fanboy "squeal" moment of Rebels. You know, in a perfect world, Numa would've been Cham's daughter that Waxer and Boil saved, and she would be the one to join the Ghost Crew in Rebels. But I guess hindsight's 20/20. There's no way at that point Filoni and crew could've imagined a whole new series taking place more than a decade after ROTJ.

 

He'll be dead by the end of the season. I can feel it in my bones.

 

I mean if he can escape Darth Vader he is a pretty lucky man.

 

If he's pro-Clone, at least he may have someone who might have convinced him that they're not all bad from early on.
