Star Wars Rebels
Summary
Star Wars Rebelscorrected aStar Warsmistake date back toReturn of the Jedi , all because of one new character the show introduced . Among theStar Warsmovies and TV show , Rebelsis considered one ofStar Wars’best shows . In part , this is because it work up off ofStar warfare : The Clone Wars , another incredibly popular , wonderfully executedStar Warsshow , and because it explores the Imperial Era , one of the menses garnering the most sake intheStar Warstimeline .
However , Rebelsalso inaugurate a number of incredible characters . One such character reference wasHera Syndulla , a Twi’lek archetype who effectively direct the crew of the Ghost as they run out various rebel activity to hold the galaxy against the Empire . In fact , Hera single - handedly address one keyStar Warsissue that had lingered for decades , correcting the theatrical performance of an full species that had begin on the wrong human foot inReturn of the Jedi .
Star Wars Rebels boast an amazing cast of live - action and representative - acting all - maven , each who bring an supply boundary to Star Wars .
Return Of The Jedi Sexualized Twi’leks From The Start
While Princess Leia ’s oppression under Jabba the Hutt inReturn of the Jediis perhaps the most unremarkably cite , Leia was not the first slave under Jabba depict in the moving picture . Oola , the Twi’lek cleaning lady who was similarly trapped as a professional dancer for Jabba but , even worse , met her terminal when Jabba dropped her in with the rancor , was the striver whose place Leia deal on Jabba ’s throne . At the time , perhaps Oola seemed to just be sexualized in the same way that Jabba ’s other slaves , Leia included , were .
Like Leia , Oola was forced to wear revealing , mortifying habiliment to serve Jabba . She was also forced to trip the light fantastic for Jabba , which , although Leia never did , it was clear that this was an arithmetic mean for Jabba ’s slaves more generally . Again , this could have evoke that Oola was ( woefully ) just one of many who were force to do in this way for Jabba . However , over prison term , it became clear that this was to become a defining feature of the entire Twi’lek speciesand was actually much larger than one persona or the nature of Jabba ’s Palace .
Star Wars Doubled Down On The Sexualization Of Twi’leks
Although notably not canyon , Alema Rar was a Legends Twi’lek Jedi in the New Jedi Order era . Her history , perhaps even more than Aayla ’s , reinforced the Twi’lek representation inReturn of the Jedi . In fact , prior to being trained as a Jedi , Alema and her sister also bring as terpsichorean , go forward the longstanding link between the Twi’lek species and that sexualizing configuration of servitude .
In part , this is due toStar Wars’pattern of categorizing coinage in finicky ways across the board . While Twi’leks are often portray in sexualizing ways , the women in particular , Gamorreans were often lackeys , Jawas were often scavengers and traders , and every member of Yoda ’s species has been military group - sensitive thus far . However , while this can partially explain why the Twi’lek representation throughoutStar Warshas been so one - government note , it does n’t change the problems with this archetype . Luckily , oneStar Warscharacter truly convert the game for the Twi’lek mintage .
There are countless species in Star Wars . While some of them are passing herculean , others are n’t as groovy as we thought .
Hera Syndulla Finally Fixed Star Wars' Twi’lek Problem
Rebelsintroduced a whole host of raw characters , many of them excellent additions to the enfranchisement . However , Hera Syndulla , the ace Twi’lek pilot leading the Ghost crew alongsideKanan Jarrus , was a particularly noteworthy one . Unlike so many iterations of Twi’lek characters , Hera was a Twi’lek woman who not only was n’t sexualized but also broke the stereotype of the mintage by being exceptionally skilled , brave , boisterous , and spare . In fact , as the antithesis of Twi’lek delegacy up until that point , inRebels , Hera had a plot line where she was nearly enslave but escape by outsmarting and overmaster her capturer .
Unlike so many loop of Twi’lek character , Hera was a Twi’lek woman who not only was n’t sexualise but also broke the stereotypes of the metal money by being exceptionally skilled , brave , trigger-happy , and free .
In the instalment " Idiot ’s Array , " Lando Calrissian tricked Azmorigan into accepting Hera as a trade , with Azmorigan believe her to be a hard worker . While Hera was n’t then subject to traditional Twi’lek dancing or other perturbing tasks similar to those depict inReturn of the Jedi , Azmorigan ’s behavior was trending in a more pernicious direction . However , Hera wasted almost no clip , fox Azmorigan ’s precaution into result , dash him over the head , and get by . Particularly the pep pill with which Hera escaped this site was a adorable reversal of the fate of other Twi’leks thus far , Oola especially .
This was also an incredibly minor arc in Hera’sStar Warsstory , which has been considerable already and continues to be originate . AfterRebels , Hera come out in live - legal action in theAhsokashow , work on alongside the New Republic after the Empire go down . Given thatAhsokaseason 2is in the works , she will no doubt keep to appear , in all likelihood assisting in end Thrawn , who has just recently been loose upon the galaxy .
The Ahsoka coda brings the taradiddle to a triumphant close , with insidious reveals that promise great things for Anakin Skywalker ’s Padawan and Thrawn .
In whatever capacity she appears , though , Hera represents a truly wonderful turn forStar Warsthat offered a turnaround of one of its earliest misapprehension . WhileStar Warshas an ever - growing number of awe-inspiring women characters , and although manyStar Warsspecies run to become massive , there was a fussy issue with the way Twi’lek char had been do by in the franchise for decades . Now , with Hera Syndulla , Star Warshas truly corrected this one glaringReturn of the Jedierror , thanks to the intromission of this skilled Twi’lek captain inStar Wars Rebels .
