In this Star Wars explained style video, we take a look at the Bad Batch Episode 11 Devil’s Deal where Hera Syndulla clearly had a French accent just like her parents Cham Syndulla and Eleni and other Twi’leks like Jedi Master Aayla Secura. We explore why George Lucas and Dave Filoni gave them this accent and how before Star Wars Rebels, Hera lost her accent. I also explore accents in the Star Wars universe more broadly.

In Episode 11, we saw young Hera with Chopper. It’s speculated that in The Bad Batch episode 12 Rescue on Ryloth this week, Clone Force 99 – Hunter, Wrecker, Echo, Tech and Omega will rescue Hera and her parents and might even have another run in with the Empire, Rampart and Crosshair.

In the aftermath of Order 66, the Ryloth insurgency and the Free Ryloth Movement are on the brink of being created. The next episode drops this Friday on Disney+. The Lucasfilm spin-off of the Clone Wars by Jennifer Corbett and Dave Filoni has proven to be a huge success among the Star Wars fandom.
