The hair is a little longer than Slick's was but it does seem like he is the most likely candidate, plus Slick did have more skills than the average clone. The only thing that could be in question is if Slick had sniper training, because that Clone, while not nearly on Crosshair's level, was a trained sniper.

[@patroeskie2784]

A lot of time has passed, he could have been trained off screen somewhere

[@stanleydodds9]

Kix goes from no hair to regular clone haircut between S6E4 and S7E1 of the clone wars, so I don't think hair length is really that much of an indicator one way or the other.

[@DrManticGaming]

A good class/course on being a sniper, combined with time, can make anyone into a more than adequate sniper in a years time or less. Plus Star Wars being Star Wars, equipment can have a lot to play as well.

I think hair length would grow and its very similar, also he probably got the extra training and I mean he already could do a lot

[@stanleydodds9]

I'm not really sure how the ideology lines up. In that clone wars episode, he is essentially fighting for the freedom of the clones, because he sees them as being enslaved by the republic. Here, this assassin is literally fighting against the freedom of the clones, by eliminating anyone who fights for the clones (although that's not necessarily his motivation. It's just what we see him being told to do in this episode, and he seems fine with it).

[@Mister_Matt]

yeah, they're completely opposite if anything - if this is actually Slick then there is a LOT of explaining to do. Where has he been all this time?

That was almost my immediate thought when I saw the clone assassin. It's possible he was approached while being jailed & was given an option as opposed to sitting rotting doing nothing.

[@TERMICOBRA]

Rex would've recognized Slick by his demeanor and also; Slick didn't want clones to fight in the war. That was the whole reason he rebelled so why would he fight for the "other side"? I think the assassin was in the last batch of clones because it's canon that they were repurposed for other assignments. For example the Purge Troopers came from the last batch of clones. Perhaps the assassin was an early member of the Purge corps. We know the last batch has already left Kamino because the facilities were destroyed.

[@rethinker167]

[@cptsteele91]

I just presumed he was a random clone that had the same procedure crosshair did, who likely recognised Rex because the empire know exactly who Rex is and what he's up to, he just doesn't pose enough risk to them for them to act on it yet...or y'know Rex being the only blonde one does also make him pretty recognisable so this particular clone could well have been aware that Rex was AWOL and been made familiar with his face in relation to the clone desertions as a standard part of his assignment, due to the likelihood that Rex would be involved in them. The thing I'm more interested in now is what Crosshair is gonna be up to, considering he's all about following orders, has seen numerous clones desert including the rest of his own squad, then saw Rampart, his boss who he knows follows orders get punished for doing so...fingers crossed there's some Crosshair heavy episodes coming up, because so far he's the most compelling character and he's barely appeared this season so far.

The way he said “Brother” reminded me of what they were talking about in that episode back then.

I really doubt it. Pretty sure Rex could recognize Slick. Clones seem to be able to tell each other apart way better than others. Also, I think Slick would hate the Empire even more than the Republic and the jedi. With them, they were at least allowed to have a name and individuality, with the paint armor. With the empire, they make no attempt to hide that they view them as just a number, wanting them all to be the same, inside and out.

I think people are thinking about this clone thing too much. It's either one of 2 things. A clone that everyone is trying to figure, that we've seen before or it's just showing the dark underbelly of the empire (and the republic with covert ops troopers who do the same job that this assassin was doing) and how clones can be so loyal and mindless to a degree for whatever cause they follow. You could argue that some clones would know battle heroes and marshal commanders, so that's a possibility. It goes with how clones can be bred so loyal and mindless to a degree, with not much room for free thought. Palpatine basically said the same thing himself. Does he have a chip in or out? Who knows. It would be nice to see some clones who are just like crosshair, regardless of the chip. Plain badass and cold. Yes the chip made them 100% comply, but like Dogma, there would have been some clones who would follow orders, however hesitant they may be. I think this is just an off the books covert ops clone/assassin who might have been doing this pre-empire and knows who Rex is because of notoriety by the time the war ended . He doesn't have a c number as well, which could be made cannon for covert ops clones, and if that isn't the case, the empire could wipe any identifiers away or do something I guess. I do believe it's interesting though how he knew Rex was, so it's part of the fun to speculate. It would be really cool if this is a clone we've seen, however, I don't think it is. There are millions of clones, not every single one has to be a call back to something.

It was slick for sure

[@Gundam4]

It would make sense. We didn't know what happened to Slick after he was caught. But then he wanted freedom, from servitude from,

Наверное ему промыли мозгом, как пятерка(файз Ст5555)пытались промыть мозгов в Камино

[@michaeld.tolbert8542]

I think that would be a great connection.
