Warning: If you haven't seen Episode 2 of Ahsoka, this article contains MAJOR SPOILERS so read at your own risk!

Droids have been an integral part of Star Wars since the beloved franchise's inception in 1977 and for the most part, they're presented as lovable drones that oftentimes serve as companions to our favorite characters — from Luke to Rey Skywalker.

But for every R2-D2 and BB8 in the galaxy, there exists a Chopper that's not your typical droid. A main fixture in Star Wars Rebels, the orange-colored C1-series astromech droid that also happens to be a war criminal has captured the hearts of fans all over the galaxy for his erratic behavior and taste for violence.

The character finally made his long-awaited live-action debut in Ahsoka and it's already safe to say that he's one of the show-stealers folks should keep an eye on.

One of the true highlights of Ahsoka's second episode, titled "Toil and Trouble" is Chopper's live-action debut. His equally endearing and hilarious back-and-forth with Hera Syndulla brought absolute joy to Rebels diehards who were thrilled to see his usual antics in live-action.

In the episode, Hera instructs Chopper to retrieve a tracking device on the villains' ship which was looking to escape. Chop obliges and successfully gets the item but not without accusing his owner of touching his stuff.

Following the release of Ahsoka's double-episode premiere, fans quickly stormed X (formerly Twitter) to express their excitement about Chopper being an absolute menace. Check out some of the reactions below:

If it wasn't obvious enough, Ahsoka is looking more like an extension of Star Wars Rebels than an actual standalone show that is meant to flesh out Ahsoka Tano's journey post-Empire.


While there's nothing wrong with that, I hope all the Rebels goodness won't overshadow the titular character because after all, it should still be Ahsoka at the forefront.

The first two episodes of Ahsoka are now available to stream on Disney+.
