So Nik Sant was ultimately said to be different from Rex even in canon, they show Rex there on Endor, but even that wasn't hard canon, and Filoni said although he was saying they were the same person, why else would an old guy be on Endor, and he said he was gonna make it canon, but then decided it was wrong to do that to a character that was in the EU before he came on. Thanks to the comments correcting that. 2. Oddball wasn't shot down in Battle of Coruscant. I saw some comments on that and went back to see why, idk why I never took this from the scene but I see why people think it was trying to show all of them died to escort the jedi. But there were way more ARC-170s than show blown up, and the official lore canon and legends mentions him on Utapau and into Imperial era. Just no details on, what he did in Imp era.

@@DayZeroChannel I don't think the inhibitor chips had a permanent effect on the clones minds, I mean it's very possible that a with a strong enough will and independence, like for example Rex would be able to either resist the chip's effect for awhile or even break it's hold over them and become aware of their actions once more (Rex actually did the former long enough to give Ahsoka the info she'd need to find Fives's investigation file and the attached addendum he himself added) So for Oddball, a clone pilot with commander level training and independence (Oddball was also a part of the 501st and tus under Anakin's command, who encouraged his troops to be more independent, this independence even lead to a sort of moral compass in some of the troops) I think it is very possible Oddball is able to break the programming for at least awhile, which may be long enough to become aware of the chip and get it removed. if for example he broke it when he'd encounter Rex again.

assuming he lived that long. In both legends and canon research and production of such experimental advance TIE models until decades after the clone wars so if he were somehow alive in both timelines for this in canon he'd be around 50 which for a clone is the equivalent of 100 and in legends the lore and timeline is all fucked as it only semi runs adjacent with the Lucas Films as I like to call them but getting onto the point in legends he'd be around 60 to 70 cause of the fucked up timeline. But even if he weren't a clone he would have probably retired or long since been promoted to Admiral or something.

I doubt Oddball and other elite fighters were held on Courascant at the end of the Clone Wars bc Sidious was worried about Dooku. In Legends, at least, he would have worried more about an overzealous Grievous I would think. Grievous knew he answered to the Sith, but he was unaware that Palpatine and Sidious were the same. In the Labyrinth of Evil novel, Palpatine actually uses the mind trick on Grievous to order him not to make him speak on the holovid he is about to record for the people of the Republic. They are alone in this scene and it is clear Grievous has no idea Palpatine is Sidious. It is more likely Oddball is there because of the possible other lineages of clones. After all, in Legends cloning for the stormtroopers and other parts of the military continued for years. It took multiple uprisings to end mass cloning in the Empire.
