Star Wars is a long-running multimedia franchise that has managed to go from a simple science fiction franchise with a cult-following to a multi-million dollar franchise now owned by Disney. Beginning with the original trilogy of films, the Star Wars franchise has spawned a number of popular films and TV shows. From additions to the film franchise like Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace to, most recently, the brand-new show Obi-Wan Kenobi set between the prequels and the originals. That said, there are also a number of animated shows that have been created to gain the interest of a younger audience. One of said shows is Star Wars Rebels.

Set between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, Rebels revolves around the crew of the starship Ghost as they take a stand against the Empire. With a mere six members aboard, the Ghost crew seems to have a great impact on not only the growing Rebellion movement, but on the Empire as a whole, managing to flip a member of the Empire into a rebel spy. Though Rebels has ended, some characters are rumored to appear in the live-action Ahsoka series. Until then, here's Ghost Crew member on Star Wars Rebels, ranked.

6 Chopper

Chopper is the sassy droid companion on the Ghost crew. While Chopper may appear to be just another droid like R2 and R4, what sets him apart physically is his tiny little hands. Chopper also has the tendency to not want to help people, the opposite of most droids, considering droids are built to serve. Chopper served during The Clone Wars and due to lack of maintenance and just overall old age of Chopper, he is not the droid he once was. His clumsiness also makes for a great deal of Jar Jar Binks-like comic relief. Despite his faults, Chopper stayed loyal, remaining at Hera's side until the very end, even earning himself a cameo, per Screen Rant, in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

5 Garazeb "Zeb" Orrellios

An often forgotten member of the Ghost crew, Garazeb AKA Zeb's character is based on the original character design of Chewbacca. Serving as the Ghost's co-pilot, Zeb is a formidable foe and is responsible for Agent Kallus turning away from the Empire and becoming a spy for the Rebellion. While much of Zeb and his people's hardships were at the center of the plot in the first two seasons of Rebels, Zeb's character is largely left untouched in the later seasons of the series. It's unclear whether Zeb will make any other appearances in the franchise, but it's possible that DIsney execs may want to explore more about his character, his capabilities, and the rich history of his people.

4 Ezra Bridger

Ezra has managed to capture the attention of every audience member. Due to the fact that he was not raised as a Jedi, Ezra struggles with his training, particularly not understanding why he must put his emotions aside. For this reason, Ezra is extra tempted by the Dark Side and struggles to resist the temptations placed in front of him, especially considering that the power he could gain from the Dark Side could help him overthrow the Empire. This led to the famous battle between Kanan and Darth Maul as they fought over who would become Ezra's master. We will most likely see Ezra make his live-action debut in the Ahsoka series, if Ahsoka ever does actually find him.

3 Caleb Dume / Kanan Jarrus

Kanan Jarrus, previously known as Caleb Dume, serves as the mentor and father-figure character on the Ghost crew, but he is more than just a wise old man. Kanan has a long history of perseverance, narrowly surviving Order 66 and going into hiding to evade capture from the inquisitors, changing his name to Kanan Jarrus. Kanan winds up taking Ezra under his wing, showing a great deal of leniency in his teachings, knowing that not all the rules in the Jedi Code make sense, especially the 'no attachment' rule. Kanan is a true Jedi to look up to as he has suffered unimaginable losses without succumbing to the temptation of the Dark Side.

Sabine is a natural-born Mandalorian that struck a chord with Rebels fans everywhere for her alternative appearance. During her time serving for the Empire, Sabine developed a weapon capable of disintegrating organic matter, showcasing her talent as an engineer. This weapon was used to force civilians into submission towards the Empire. Despite initially running from her mistakes, Sabine managed to fight off her inner conflict and rescue her clan from the Empire. At the end of the series, Sabine manages to bring a whole new level of security to her people before joining Ahsoka in her search for Ezra. Sabine is one of the few characters confirmed for the upcoming Ahsoka series; she will be played by Natasha Liu Bordizzo.

1 Hera Syndulla

Topping our list is the Twi'lek freedom fighter Hera Syndulla. Pilot and leader of the Ghost Crew, Hera is responsible for setting many of the events in motion that became the beginnings of the Rebel Alliance. Without Hera, much of the Rebellion would not have grown to become what it was, even earning the respect of the Grand Admiral Thrawn. Despite her ability to keep a cool head in any situation thrown her way, Hera still manages to harbor personal feelings towards her crew-mates. Hera's toughness is only emphasized by the fact that she fought a great many battles while pregnant with Kanan's child.
