TIMESTAMPS
Clone Captain Rex served the Republic during the Clone Wars, often taking orders from Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. He viewed military service as an honor, and he always completed his mission. Fond of using two blaster pistols at the same time, Rex customized his armor with distinctive blue markings. His loyalty to the Republic and his Jedi Generals was absolute, but even this dedicated veteran soldier found himself plagued by doubts as the Clone Wars claimed more lives and brought ruin to more worlds.

THE CLONE WARS
The leader of the 501st Legion’s Torrent Company, CT-7567 – better known as Rex – was an exemplary clone trooper, brave under fire and dedicated to the men serving under him. As a no-nonsense, by-the-book trooper, Rex had to adjust to the maverick Jedi GeneralAnakin Skywalker and his headstrong PadawanAhsoka Tano. Despite his lifelong training and discipline, Rex came to admire and sometimes emulate Anakin’s genius for improvisation and his willingness to bend the rules.
Over many campaigns, Rex saw too many clone troopers die fighting theSeparatists’ seemingly limitlessbattle droids. Some of those deaths were unavoidable, but other troopers died because commanders such as the JediGeneral Pong Krell saw clones as expendable, little more than living droids bred to serve and die.
Rex believed in theRepublic, and he had been trained to believe that a soldier’s highest calling was doing his duty despite long odds and orders he might not understand. But as the war ground up more and more of his men, Rex began to wonder what the point of the conflict was, and what price the clones would ultimately pay.

Some of those deaths were unavoidable, but other troopers lost their lives because commanders such as the JediGeneral Pong Krell saw clones as expendable, little more than living droids bred to serve and die. After a spate of counterattacks in which the Separatists seemed to be using old strategies drawn up by Rex and Echo, Rex became suspicious that his old friend and comrade, long thought dead, had somehow survived.
OnSkako Minor, Rex’s suspicions were confirmed when he,Anakin Skywalker, andthe Bad Batch infiltrated a Separatist base and discovered Echo’s body connected to the Separatist computer network, his brain working out the complex calculations and battle strategies referred to as the algorithm.
Years after the completion of the Clone Wars, Captain Rex along with CommandersWolffe andGregor trudged the plains ofSeelos hunting forjoopa. It was then that they met theGhost crew, sent by Rex’s old compatriot, Ahsoka Tano. AfterKanan hesitated to give his trust, Rex revealed that the three clones removed their chips before Order 66. The crew solicited the clones’ help in finding a potential new base and in turn the clones asked for their assistance catching a joopa. After shooting a menacingprobe droid that had been tracking the clones’ walker, Rex proved that his allegiance lied with the Ghost crew.
