This ARC is so important for the clones latter actions during Order 66. I think if Jesse didn't have to endure Umbara, he would've actually considered listening to Rex, even with the chip active. While Rex was naturally also affected by the Inhibitor, he chose to fight the effects, thus helping Ahsoka do something about it and buying her time. Jesse didn't question anything, because he also believed in his heart that the jedi were capable of betrayal, and because he was so deathly afraid of a second Umbara.

[@nicname3147]

Fully agree. Because even when the chip was fully active, there was a moment where Rex did break through to Jesse. He lowered his guns for just a few seconds.

@@kryptonianking552 While I partially agree, he also is going out of his way to kill clones here. The reason so many Jedi were killed as easily as they were was because they were blindsided by the clone’s betrayal.

there are hundreds of years of history in Star Wars where regular soldiers had no choice but to fight armies of force users. Specifically the old republic era was filled with Anti-Force Wielder weapons so we've seen lots of different examples of how normal people could overcome Jedi with the right tools. A jedi can block blaster bolts, but there's no hope for a Jedi against a flamethrower or scatter blaster, they would have no choice but to run away. As soon as someone gets close enough with one of those weapons, that Jedi is fucked. In the old wars, 3 republic troopers was more than enough to kill a Sith Warrior.
