Why Captain REX Is Way More IMPORTANT Than You Remember! | Ahsoka Series Explained

[@GalakStari]

Rex is one of my favorite characters in all of Star Wars. A brave soldier and a good friend.

[@SWPhoenixSquadron]

He was the best!

That scene when ahsoka comesback and sees the 501st always brings a tear to my eye. Thats Real respect for her

[@SWPhoenixSquadron]

Such an emotional scene!

[@Bevo_Baker]

They viewed her as one of them. While she wasn’t viewed as a clone, she was their sister-in-arms.

[@lidge1994]

@@Bevo_Baker I'd say Rex definitely sees Ahsoka as his little sister with equal or greater authority.

[@nichelbichel6464]

I'm actually more heartbroken at that sight, then when they turn again them, when order 66 is executed. Because we, the viewer, know that will happen...

[@rileygarraway87]

​@@SWPhoenixSquadronagreed 💯 percent I loved how when it shows Ashokas past in world between worlds in Ashoka series it shows Rex running past Ashoka and waving to come forward and she mentioned what she felt about clones and it shows that she cares so much about clones just as much as Rex I hope in second season that Ashoka mentions Rex some way or another

[@duhthunderfox]

The Clone Wars is a legit masterpiece. As a child watching the show I had no idea how much of a impact it would have on me nor for how long. One cannot ask for a better show to grow up watching

[@npaul12]

Sad thing is, so many people refuse to watch "that dumb kid show, that made a joke out of star wars." Its a fantastic show. There are a few parts, early in the series, that are a bit dumb, but once they established themselves it became a masterpiece.

[@Amelia_Scp_and_Halo_fan]

​@@npaul12 your right because some part bring tears in my eyes like the memorial of Rex fallen brother. it's like rebel it's a kid show in a way but i value it like clone wars because it's a masterpiece under the right sirconstances. (english is not my native language.)

[@vagabon5130]

The detail of Rex continuing to call her Commander even though he is no longer under her command, is awesome. That and, he went to parade rest when in her presence. But the show was full of that. Wasn’t Rex calling Kanan Commander too out of habit and catching himself when he did it? He was thrilled to relive Clone and Jedi glory days.

[@user-lc5of7jh5g]

It was gregor who mistook kanan as a general, kanan says he was never a general. Gregor calls him commander and kanan gets mad.

[@Sarad_dikut]

True, but also when they meet the separatists again, at the start, Rex calls kanan general, commander and kanan. Because of Rex’s past and it was a bit of a sad time for him going back there, he got mixed up. So they both did! 😊

[@heybrah24]

Ehh it's really not that awesome anyway no one even said Rex wasn't important

[@ronaldcobb1633]

While Rex and the 501st are deeply impacted by Anakin's respect for them and his outside-the-box thinking but Rex is the heart and soul of the Clone Wars series.

[@tomwilliams1268]

This whole video shows why Rex was greatest soldier in the Republic and when it said he was apart of the first battle on Geonosis I really believe he was the clone that helped Padme. Also the bond Rex and Ahsoka had was truly heartwarming to me because of amount of love, care, and trust between them shows that they were like brother and sister.

[@SWPhoenixSquadron]

Agree completely and love the profile photo! 👊🏼

[@jonathanpiccini7464]

Don't forget Rex is also a mentor for Ahsoka, like Anakin was. I was happy see Rex but there is a problem now...............................................................I WANT TO SEE ALL CLONE WARS SERIE IN LIVE ACTION AND REVENGE OF THE SITH IN CLONE WARS STYLE! XD

[@0wly]

The clone who helped padme was a regular phase 1 while rex was a captain even then so he should have had captain markings. Other than that i agree with your message

[@reaperelecti490]

When Ahsoka removes Rex's helmet and you see the grief and despair on his face and the tears in his eyes... That really humanized the entire "Clone/Soldier" ideal... Emotions you don't see through the helmet.. that scene choked me up BAD... such a masterpiece

[@tvfunkyman6269]

Ahsoka: calls Anakin Skyguy Rex: BAHAHAHAHAHA

[@SWPhoenixSquadron]

🤣

[@bostonrailfan2427]

she had zero f#cks right off the bat!

[@kaylievlietstra6415]

Gutsy move

[@Wintercomet100]

I absolutely loved that scene! The way Rex just lost all control and just burst out laughing right in front of Anakin and even tried to cover his face like he was trying to hide it even *after* Anakin had already seen and heard him start laughing.

[@Vinzwien]

The end scene of the clone wars is Ahsoka stands before the graves was so heartbreaking and I love every minute of it.

[@nayftv]

Rex like Ashoka is a reflection of Anakin and his rebellious relationship with the rules and orders hence his ability to fight order 66 long enough to save Ashoka it’s a testament to who Anakin was before he fell to Sidious’s manipulations rebellious but loyal

[@CoGames_]

To see Rex cry… That was… so… You get me

[@cmcolfax1]

I'm not crying. You're crying.

[@Unexpected-AC]

the music at the end of the clone wars in the scenes were ahsoka is honoring the clones that died is absolutely beautiful.

[@FOUR22]

that clonewars ending still hits hard though

[@SWPhoenixSquadron]

Every time..

[@_J_LL_]

yeah, i shed a tear avbery time

[@SeanMaguire2]

5:17 bro that scene always gives me shivers

[@Sir.Cumcise]

Same

[@baartys]

Most emotional scene is, when Rex tries to disobey Order 66. As he is saying: "Fives, Fives...", proceeds to shoot at Ahsoka

[@tarzankom]

Rex was one of the most important clones during the Clone War. But that's going to happen when you serve along side one of the most significant Jedi.

[@angelabrowne8617]

I really hope we get "present day Rex" in Ahsoka! I love Rex!

[@L3FT2BURN]

I imagine he'd probably have passed away by then. That or he'd be ancient.

[@judgedread9724]

Yeah, by now he's probably dead due to old age at a bare minimum.

[@angelabrowne8617]

Probably but I really hope not.... maybe found a way to stop accelerated aging??? Lol it's a stretch 🤣

[@cuppajoe2]

Sorry to tell ya but he probably is no longer alive considering clones age much faster then regular humans.

[@bostonrailfan2427]

⁠@@judgedread972454 years old in Ahsoka, if you count the advanced aging. odds are he’d be in it but it’s entirely up to the producers to include him

[@SeanHarper88]

This was a great video, idk why I bawled so much. Rex was such an amazing character. Seeing the storyline of his played out like this was awesome. Thanks.

[@SWPhoenixSquadron]

Thanks for watching!

[@mikethefz07guy79]

Rex in live action in Ashoka made my year. We got both phase 1 and 2.

[@tylerchapman7846]

I just hope we see him in the present

[@kongzlla]

Bruh I love Rex so. much . I legit cried during the order 66 scene during the clone wars show.

[@CH-xe8ud]

This was a kids show?!?! How did they write Rex such an in-depth and amazing character, and what a gut punch the writers gave us. Honestly, I'm not sure anyone in 2005 would have expected order-66 to become a moment that would lead to the turning points and backstories of so many characters. This show was golden.

[@henderbac2262]

The ending of TCW still make me cry even to this day, it was truly incredible

[@Battery_sheep]

I’ve never cried during a tv program until I saw the last episode

[@davidharo4435]

The fact that some people won’t watch clone wars just because it’s animated is crazyyyyy

[@ZombieRush22579]

I'd tune into every clone wars episode I could as a kid. Now, all I can think of is how to start watching it again

[@vali.s5109]

I'd loooooooooooooove to see an animated series of Rex between order 66 and the battle of Yavin or the end of his life. See what he did to help clones desert the GAR and help smuggle jedi

[@bostonrailfan2427]

you just described him in Bad Batch and Rebels

[@lebosniaquedebelgique5641]

A series where he is the main character not a side character

[@J10969]

That last episode of Clone Wars is absolutely beautifully devastating. Best episode of the series and really ties the movies and all the animated series together. The ending always has me cry a little. It’s the ending of an era.

[@cej3940]

Rex is one of the stellar fictitious examples of good leadership, good leadership makes better troops who back up said leader

[@laikiliata]

Rex is simply awesome thanks for the video ^^ If I can, I'll add a theory about him (I can't remember if it's mine or if I heard it somewhere). The reason he was able to hesitate against Order 66 is because of Anakin. Unlike all the other clones, Anakin encouraged him to think for himself and to speak up when something is wrong. This unique ability allowed him to challenge Order 66 at first glance.

[@SWPhoenixSquadron]

I like it!

[@walterbobbittii4124]

Capt Rex is da man

[@NotAsianButFlip]

Krell was literally doing this to impress count dooku...

[@davidponce6132]

And to get revenge on the clones for his foreshadowing of their massive deadly charge against Jedi.

[@LJ_bricks-66]

I’m a guy that doesn’t cry a lot in movies or shows but omg the ending of the clone wars were you see Jesse and the other clone helmets makes me cry every single time even when I think about it. The clone wars is my favourite show ever and favourite Star Wars piece.

[@danielkeel9265]

Great content, not having seen the animation, it's been really great to get these side characters who are so much more than NPC's

[@brandonmeyer6999]

I hope he will return as an old man later in the show. I enjoyed seeing him in live action for the first time

[@tsugoaokigiri3754]

theres now 1 singular guy in this whole world who can now say he is the best clone (because he's canonically the actor for rex)

[@seansmit]

I would argue that one is all the clones, but another is the voice of all the clones

[@martybarron816]

Fantastic trip down memory lane thank you

[@Wintercomet100]

The fact the Rex tries to look away from Ahsoka so she doesn't see him start to cry is a rather amazing detail. In all the time he'd known her, he probably always seemed to be the strong, tough, and fearless leader. It was like that for as much as he was finally breaking, he didn't want to take that image away from her and for her to see him in what really was a heart wrenching moment that probably for the first time in that whole war had made him feel weak and vulnerable. Yet everything that guy had done, Rex was a legend, and it really is great that he managed to survive through everything that was thrown at him.

[@dakotareed3654]

This was so sad when I watched the series to the end. You saw and knew that he didn’t want to kill the very brothers he fought along side for many years on end just to be turned and hurt they’re own Jedi generals

[@anthonyalarcon4965]

Clone Troopers rule! Captain Rex is one of my favorite Clone Troopers with Cody, Bly, Fives, Wolffe, and Howzer! I would be Commander Wolffe!

[@bostonrailfan2427]

but Cody tried to kill Obi-Wan! it sucked rewatching the movie after liking him for so long knowing that he was the only main clone that followed the irder

[@philipthompson7022]

We all know how important Rex is. It’s the fools at Disney that need telling. How can a character so important to Ahsoka not even be mentioned by her. People you serve with especially in War are never forgotten and you always talk about them.

[@brendanfeely7390]

In all fairness she clearly has shown in this particular season that she is not capable of facing her past. Unfortunately we might have to consider that Rex has died due to old age, I really hope not though. But either way I assume we’ll have to eventually have Ashoka talk to someone about Anakin and Rex or she’ll never develop any further. Also we need Zeb to show up as well. Carson Teevas there so I guess maybe Zeb will show up soon in light of recent events.

Clone wars and rex always knew how to get to my emotions.. I love what it did for the Prequels and the clones. All the games and Prequels hit so much different. They were not just some stand ins for battle, not all the same either. Just like a normal Twin they all have their differences in appearance and their personalities are unique 1by1. When Ahsoka sees the 501st with the helmets... That hurt man :3 That hurt.. Rebels and Clone wars will always be some of the best story telling in star wars ever.

Dave Filoni is a matter storyteller. The way he has woven Ahsoka, Rex, and the other clones into the main line story of star wars is nothing short of genius. He humanized the clones and made us care about them individually. And Ahsoka is hands down my favorite star wars character ever. Outside of Anakin she has the most developed and fleshed out story in all of SW Canon. Rex is a close s third in terms of complete storylines.
