During the Clone Wars, Clone Troopers Waxer and Boil of Obi-Wan’s 212th Battalion discovered
a young Twi’Lek girl who was separated from her family during the battle of Ryloth.
This young girl became a symbol of resolve and loyalty for the Clones of Ghost company
giving them a strong motivation to defeat the separatists.
So what happened to Numa after the Clone Wars and into the time of the empire?
I’m going to break down exactly what happened to this Twi’Lek girl after the Clone Wars
and how she became an extremely important figure in the rebellion.

After the tragic story of Numa, the Twi’Lek child from Ryloth was concluded in the first
season of the Clone Wars, she was left with her Uncle on the planet, after Kenobi and
his 212th liberated her hometown.
After their rescue of Numa, Waxer painted a marking of her face on his helmet to remember
the events of Ryloth.
So because we don’t actually see her at any other point in the series, many are wondering,
what happened to Numa After the Clone Wars?
The next time we see Numa is in Star Wars Rebels, when Hera Syndulla returns to her
home planet of Ryloth.
We learn that three years before the battle of Yavin, Numa became one of the Cham Syndulla’s
best freedom fighters, as a member of the Free Ryloth Movement.
Awesomely, we also see Numa wearing a shoulder pad from Kenobi's 212th battalion, which was
very likely armor left behind after Kenobi’s forces left the planet.
Let me know which Clone Trooper you think gave Numa this piece of Clone Armour to remember
them by!
I absolutely love this little throwback to the Clone Wars.
Cham Syndulla was the father of Hera Syndulla, and trusted Numa so greatly that he sent her
personally to meet up with Hera aboard the Ghost for a Rebellion meeting.
Cham Syndulla wanted to destroy an imperial carrier orbiting Ryloth as a show of strength
for his people, hoping to spark a larger rebellion on the planet.
His daughter however, disagreed and instead preferred to steal the carrier for the rebellion
forces.
Cham reluctantly agreed to Hera’s plan for stealing the ship, but in secret, he instructed
Numa and another of his fighters to destroy the ship as soon as it was captured by Hera.
Numa then pretended to become friendly with the crew of the Ghost, but after gaining access
to the cruiser, they stunned the Phoenix squad, leaving them time to destroy the ship.
After boarding the carrier, Numa and her small team killed a squad of stormtroopers and rushed
to deploy their blast charges around the ship.
Before they could do much however, they were overpowered by Sabine and Zeb, who stunned
them.
They took Numa prisoner along with the other Twi’Leks in her squad, and convinced them
to join forces.
They eventually did team up, defeating many imperial forces.
Hera’s plan to hijack the ship was successful, forming a strong relationship with Numa and
the other Twi’Lek rebels.
About a year after these events, a new imperial commander named Grand Admiral Thrawn took
charge of operations on the planet Ryloth, specifically tasked with stopping Cham Syndulla’s
free ryloth movement.
Thrawn studied Twi’Lek culture, art and history, allowing him to create a strategy
that led to the capture of the home of Clan Syndulla.
After the crew of the Ghost arrived on the planet, Numa rode a blurrg, which you would
definitely remember from the Mandalorian, to meet up with the crew, but were intercepted
by imperial scout troopers.
Luckily, Numa and Cham Syndulla managed to fight off the scout troopers long enough for
the crew of the ghost to pick them up.
Once on board the ghost, Numa knocked out a scout trooper who had snuck aboard the ship
and stole his armour for Ezra Bridge to wear.
After that, Numa explained to the crew the meaning behind a Twi’Lek Kalikori, which
was a traditional Ryloth family heirloom that was extremely valuable to a clan.
The Clan Syndulla kalikori was left inside of the family home, after Grand Admiral Thrawn
had taken control of it and transformed it into his base of operations on the planet.
Numa and the other rebels then created a distraction so that Hera, Ezra and Chopper could enter
the family home and retrieve the heirloom from thrawn.
Following this, Hera was captured by Thrawn, leading to her father offering to surrender
himself in exchange for his daughter's life.
Fortunately however, the crew’s droid, Chopper was able to detonate a series of blast charges
at the home, allowing for their escape.
Following this, Numa mingled with the crew of the Ghost and began to form a long lasting
friendship with them.
And that is the last time we see Numa from the Ryloth clone wars episode.
I really hope she and Cham syndulla did eventually manage to liberate Ryloth and join the greater
rebellion after her appearances in the show, but we’ll just have to wait for the Rebels
sequel, which is rumoured to be coming very soon, to find out.
It’s honestly so awesome that Numa and the rest of the Ryloth rebels are wearing armour
from Obi-Wan Kenobi’s 212th battalion after the Battle of Ryloth.
It really shows you the massive impact that his Clones had on the planet after they arrived.
