This is one of the most interesting – and least develop – of all the era of the Skywalker saga , and it looks as if Hera is being lay to figure prominently in it .
Hera , it turns out , has always been enlace with the greaterStar WarsExpanded Universe justly from day one : after being insert in aRebelsshort , she co - starred in the first canon book , A New Dawn , before proceed on to the television show right . And though her coming into court in the mythology were mostly tighten duringRebels ’ four - year run , she ’s since found her way of life into a handful of other stories , most particularly theStar WarsandDoctor Aphramonthly comic volume seriesthat take blank space throughout the original trilogy .

Which leads to her post - Return of the Jediarc . Thanks to the 4 - bit - or - so epilog in theRebelsseries finis – and to a dabble ofForces of DestinyYouTube minisodes – it ’s known that General Hera Syndulla navigate her trusty Corellian bottom , theGhost , in the Battle of Endor , help to overcome the second Death Star ( also present aboard her trustworthy ship were Captain Rex , theClone Warsveteran , and the indefatigable droid Chopper ) . straight off afterwards , she helped spread food rations and supplies to the wanting Ewok populace – and to defend them from a holdover royal garrison on the other side of the synodic month that was hellbent on revenge . ( Han Solo , along with Poe Dameron ’s parents , would terminate up lead the push to tear down this last Endor base , as seen in the funny record miniseriesShattered Empire . )
But it ’s in the month after the Rebel Alliance ’s victory , as it quickly transitions itself from a ragtag combat forcefulness to the New Republic government , that Hera begins to strike . As see in the still - releasingAlphabet Squadrontrilogy of novels , the superior general is given both her own engagement radical and her own flagship , theLodestar , which is a hand - me - downAcclamator - course of instruction battlewagon ( the pre - Star Destroyers that were earlier watch inAttack of the Clones ) . From here , she oversees Hail , Meteor , Vangaurd , and , eventually , Alphabet Squadrons , along with a smattering of support vessels , as they go from system to organisation in that galaxy far , far by to render and put down whatever remaining royal oddment there are . Along the way , she learns of the continued creation of the deadly 204th Imperial Fighter Wing , best know as Shadow Wing , and pardner with New Republic Intelligence to try and do away with one of the Empire ’s fully grown terror once and for all – and becomes a target for blackwash by the ace pilots for her troubles .
By the ending of the secondAlphabet Squadroninstallment , Hera is left some six month before theBattle of Jakku(the event that officially ends the Galactic Civil War and sees the remnant Imperial leading hideaway into interstellar space to reconstitute itself as the First Order ) – and some 4 - and - a - one-half long time beforeThe Mandalorian , whose upcoming 2d season promises to include a number of fabled animated fiber , including Ahsoka Tano and , just perhaps , Captain Rex . While the canon has yet to reveal whether Admiral Hera Syndulla survives the continued majestic wrath up until this point , it ’s solely possible that , if she does , viewers might be treat to a live - action version of her in one finical Disney+ production or another – or , go that , then her young pilot boy , Jacen Syndulla , who would be nine years onetime at this point . It ’s easy to see how the offspring of a Jedi Knight and one of the New Republic ’s top military brass could have a bright future in theStar Warsmythology , whether on the page or on the ( lowly ) screen .
