When the highly-anticipated new Star Wars TV show, Star Wars Rebels, starts screening this fall, fans will all get to know the name of Chopper a lot better. The droid is the R2-D2 of Rebels — indeed, he’s based on early production sketches of Artoo. But Chopper’s personality is a lot more willful. If Artoo was the family dog, as Rebels director Dave Filoni puts it, Chopper is the family cat. In a video posted by Mashable, Chopper not only got to meet his maker in the form of Filoni, he also got to meet Artoo himself, who no doubt is a little jealous of Chopper’s extra mechanical appendages.
