Rex is perhaps the one of the most tragic clones ever, because he lost so many brothers, his purpose, and his family. The Republic he was fighting was gone along with the freedom he was fighting for. This beckons the question "was it even worth it?"
The sad thing is that Rex's story is one of the happier ones for any of TCW characters. He survives, he gets to have some relaxation and happiness, and he is able to help defeat the Empire. And if the season 2 The Mandolorian rumors are true, he will reunite with Ahsoka. As awful as Rex's life is in spots, it's so much better than what happened to so many others
@@noahcheckman8542 yeah, but he always seems like an a*hole to me. And I think he got him out, because Windu is "one of the good guys" and I would have looked bad if he did not. But he was an a*hole most of the time. I have the meeting in season 7 in mind.
@@lapisinfernalis9052 well we are talking about the man who casually said to kill the chancellor so the Jedi could take power without even getting solid evidence against him knowing full well that public opinion on the Jedi were waning and assassinating the chancellor was only going to make things worse mace windu was a loyal stubborn fool who was so entrenched in traditions to see he was part of the problem
Being rex after the clone wars: Cons: less action, much dissapointment for the general state of things Pros: You dont get thrown *up* cliffsides or over leaps of death anymore because your resident warriormonk is too lazy to take stairs.
dude legit umbara is my favorite arc of episodes of the whole show with just how amazing the character development is for rex and fives especially for fives later on with the inhibitor chip stuff.
Rex has been through the most.His bestmates Jesse and Fives died.He lost Cody who couldnt resist the order.He lost his Jedi General Anakin Skywalker to the dark side. He had to say goodbye to Echo. Like damn Edit: yes im missing Hevy, 332nd, Hardcase, n many more P.s I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic, have fallen with a dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple…that time has past - Obi Wan Kenobi
@@MiguelPerez-rf2sx Tup glances at Anakin but then puts his full attention on Tiplee. Tup should have kept his attention on Anakin because at that time he too is a Jedi
Because in real world terms a navy seal just attacked the president and has a millitary General and a captain held hostage is pionting a gun at you and as you yell to stand down and fives was refusing what do you do taze him?, no you dont. Simple law enforcement!
I know he’s a character that we know a lot about, but, if you make one of these documentaries but about Kenobi or Grievous, that would be absolutely incredible.
Fives was pointing a gun at him what are you going to do abaot that? Simple law enforcement, in real terms a navy seal just attacked the president and has a millitary General and captian hostage what do you do !? I dont care that they were brothers fox did nothing rong!!!
This is almost making me cry because it reminds me how many brothers he have lost and died in front of him he must be feeling so much pain but he some how made it through it all towards to the end of the clone wars
I just binged watched the full clone wars in the last few weeks reliving my child hood, with me much like Rex talking about his brothers dying just to ensure Rex and Ashoka are killed, watching this has me set off again can’t wait for part 3 😭❤️
This is and will always be by far some of the best Character Analysis ever probably better than what the star wars encyclopedia or even any book or even any other channel will ever do keep up the good work bro! You absolutely deserve it!
CPT Rex is not only my favorite Clone, but one of the best characters in Star Wars. "Well I didnt betray my Jedi. Wolfe, Gregor and I all removed our Inhibitor Chips...we *all* have a choice."
Which is worse: Echo being kept alive tortured, augmented and used for his strategies or Luminara's corpse being used as a model to replicate her and lure unknowing jedi survivors?
Fun fact that helps me sleep at night. During the invasion we can see 3 venators dispatching the clones, only one venator went, while the others I assumed, did post battle clean up or what ever, but 2/3 of the 332nd did survive! Be happy, their not wiped out!
I think it's a cool detail when Tup is unintentionally order 66 activated, he doesn't go after Anakin who's in the same room as him but the other Jedi who's further away.
It is amazing how just an idea created by George Lucas possibly when he was a child, has become more than just a movie franchise. For some it’s a huge part of their life. Most of us have had Star Wars since we where kids.
I'm not an emotional person and I don't usually cry at things but this made me want to shed a tear and this was the best TV show I had ever known. And Rex old buddy I'll never forget ya
The fact that Rex was so independent, so strong willed that he was capable of resisting order 66 shows how far he grew from the by the books man he was at the start of the war, shows how much love and care was given to his character
Is it just me or did I see Rex wear an phase 1.5 clone trooper helmet around 9:00 (the helmet that looks like the phase 2 with phase one antenna fins) Edit: here 8:55 Edit: oh, I just realize that it's also customized by Rex, you could see that the helm has that welding marks that looks like his iconic mustache. It's the same helm we see him use in later seasons but it still had a phase 1 fin antenna, later on he would replace the top with the phase 2 antenna and in this version it still has a phase 1 visor.
You have to admit, the last episodes were extremely sad. Imagine living with people for years, fighting with them. They are like your family, your brothers. Then one day you are forced to choose to fight your family or kill a friend.
You gotta love this part of the CW & especially Captain Rex who is a great Clone who would do a lot for Anikan too keep secrets from the Jedi order about Padme & Anikan & their love affair who not even Obi-Wan knew of but it didn’t take him long to work it out.
I enjoyed your work on the Predator/Jautja now I realize how much more there is on offer for sci-fi fans such as myself. Thus I am a new subscriber and when I can afford to do so will join. Thank you for all your work. :)
It’s just sad to watch Rex fight against his own brothers since the beginning especially from torrent company/501st, even sadder when he tries to resist order 66. Alone Rex’s story is tragic and the final scene burying Jesse and 332nd was just something else I’m just glad Dave filoni, Kevin kiner, and Dee Bradley baker help make one of the greatest childhood shows.
30:09 what i love about this scene is that tup doesn't see anakin as a jedi meaning there was no code writen in the chips to execute anakin or non that was at least active
Maaannnn it still kills me whenever I watch the death of Fives. Being one of my favorite clone trooper his death is so sad and heartbreaking at the same time when he was just doing the right thing.
From the Battle of Christophsis to the Siege of Mandalore. Survived the Clone Wars, the Jedi Purge, the Galactic Civil War. Clone trooper to rebel commander. Greatest clone trooper of all time
99s death was one of the biggest losses in the clone army in my opinion he had no fire power but the biggest wil and compassion *leaves 1 minute of silence for 99* IL NEVER FORGET U MA BOI!!!
Fun fact: rex and anakin being carbon-frozen is how vader knew han would survive. Watching videos on clones makes me want to play as candorus ordo from kotor 2.
Rex was still in phase 1 gear at the battle of Mon Cala. He was still working on his new armor by then, which also would b the reason he didn't join the battle
Just watched part 1 and 2 of Rex's story. Fantastic work my man! Makes me want to go back and watch the Clone Wars again. I haven't seen any of Rebels so I'm gonna wait to watch part 3 whenever I finish that. Again, terrific work
Rex had one of the most tragic lives. He lost the only family he ever had, he lost the 332nd, he lost his original purpose, and he lost the rank he so rightfully deserved all his life.
When Rex and the bad batch get to the out post in the new season and Rex hears Echo's number I actually cried cuz Echo is my favorite 501st member hell my first Xbox gamer tag was CT Echo
I love how by explaining rex’s story you basically summarized ~70% of The Clone Wars story
Yeah, besides Ahsoka, Rex is the main character of the Clone Wars series
Yup
Rex and anakin, and Cody and obi wan.
True
he says “covering every canon event” of Rex’s life, so yes he should be covering all of these parts.
Rex is perhaps the one of the most tragic clones ever, because he lost so many brothers, his purpose, and his family. The Republic he was fighting was gone along with the freedom he was fighting for. This beckons the question "was it even worth it?"
He really lived to see the new republic
The sad thing is that Rex's story is one of the happier ones for any of TCW characters. He survives, he gets to have some relaxation and happiness, and he is able to help defeat the Empire. And if the season 2 The Mandolorian rumors are true, he will reunite with Ahsoka.

@@rosesweetcharlotte true. At the very least, he got a happy ending
*Kix:* am I a joke to you?
I guarantee that he probably for many years before Phoenix squadron found him he asked himself what he coulda did better with his time🤷♂️

It still amazes me that the clones were more human than some of their jedi generals, Filoni knows how to craft humanity into characters
Yeah. If I think of Luminara Unduli or Mace Windu, they were two of the most emotionally dead Jedi I know.
@@lapisinfernalis9052 Mace Windu wasn't so bad, he did break open an AT-TE to save a wounded pilot.
@@noahcheckman8542 yeah, but he always seems like an a*hole to me.

I have online classes tmr but screw that Star Wars is life and captain rex is just 👌🏻
He is not ok he is a bad ass clone just like Cody
It was cool to see Rex to be able to choose his own path and to choose who to fight for after the republic fell
41:40
“General Rex”?
If only...
Lol good catch
Yo meta
You very good explaining
The one dislike is someone who is jealous of Captain Rex
Basically Commander Fox
FOX DID NOTHING WRONG!!!
Hawkbat Customs you are accused of high treason against the republic. The Senate will decide your fate.
Because in real world terms a navy seal just attacked the president and has a millitary General and a captain held hostage is pionting a gun at you and as you yell to stand down and fives was refusing what do you do taze him?, no you dont. Simple law enforcement!
It could be worse it could be commander gree he tried to murder yoda

The Quote Pong Krell Said when the clones came to arrest him "Its Treason then" reminds me of when Palpatine said the very same thing
41:39 "general rex"
The clone most well deserving of the rank. Too bad the highest he can go is a commander
You are a bold one
The fact that Rex was so independent, so strong willed that he was capable of resisting order 66 shows how far he grew from the by the books man he was at the start of the war, shows how much love and care was given to his character
Waxers death was so heartbreaking. No matter how many times ive seen it, it always makes me emotional. The entire clones story as a whole is so tragic
