Chopper also had a soft spot for Jacen, who enjoys playing with the little droid as if Chopper were a pet or a lovable uncle. However, is is unknown what his relationship with Zeb is not but it is likely Jacen sees him as an uncle.
Trivia[]

- Vanessa Marshall was completely unaware of that Hera was pregnant with Jacen until a fan screening.
- His first name, Jacen, was inspired by Jacen Solo, the son of Leia Organa Solo and Han Solo in the Star Wars Legends continuity.
- since confirmation of his Force sensitivity, fans wish to see Jacen become Ezra's apprentice, which is fitting because Jacen's dad Kanan trained Ezra.
