Hi, just created this page after reading the news on Rebelscum, hope it looks okay(he might be the clone that Asajj is shown choking in the trailer, but I wasn't sure if I should mention that). I'm new, so let me know if there are any problems. InSaneWeTrust 11:08, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ID

• I believe it's all but a fact that Rex is the Clone/ARC Trooper featured prominently on the promo poster. 63.64.127.15 22:39, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pics

hey you guys are we allowed to upload pics of Rex? I think it's certain hes the blue ARC trooper with the Jaig eyes. Not to mention his t-shirt features the same character. So can we upload pics? Jeswal

• Yeah, you are allowed. Especially for a topic as new as this.--CT-5619 ^{helmet comlink} 01:45, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Good um...but how do i upload them? Jeswal

• On the side under tooldbox, there should be a link for "upload file". Then when you're on that screen, choose the picture you want from your hard drive and press "upload". NighthawkLeader 20:48, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rank

Hey as an ARC nut, I know that the LTs wore blue and CPTs wore red. Rex's shirt description http://shop.starwars.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=416358;category_id=386;pcid1=;pcid2= says that he is a Captain, and everywhere else says he is too. But he wears blue as evidenced by various teasers and featured videos. Is he truly a Captain. I think so. Captain Rex 01:18, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

• True, I too thought that he would wear red and look like Fordo did, but I think he wears blue because he is in the 501st, not becuase he's a lieutanent. NighthawkLeader 01:53, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

• Makes sense. Captain Rex 03:28, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Yeah. Or he could just have had a delay getting new armor colors. -LtNOWIS 04:08, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 501st ranks

If he commands the 501st, what does that make Appo70.181.81.245 04:20, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

• Not the current 501st commander. He may not have been in active service at the time or may have taken over after Rex was killed (if he was killed), but it would all be speculation at the moment NighthawkLeader 04:52, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Perhaps an ARC trooper assigned to a non-ARC combat unit essentially takes over or shares command. Appo could still be in charge, but Rex would be as well. Grand Moff Tranner ^(Comlink) 19:39, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

I was under the impression that ARCs functioned on a different level then regular troopers. I mean, they're commandos, which don't really take command positions. Unless we find out that he specifically requested a transfer and command role in the 501st, I don't believe it. 70.174.186.37 00:54, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

• Fordo commanded regular clone troopers in the Muunilinst 10, so I don't see why Rex can't command at least a portion of the 501st. Grand Moff Tranner ^(Comlink) 11:49, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
• Okay, but the way it's listed it seems like he was in charge of the entire legion. A squad or battalion or what have you is a different matter. 70.174.186.37 22:05, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
  • You're right, because right now it is saying that he commanded the entire legion. I don't think there's anything to support that, so it should probably be removed. I'll wait to see if anyone else has an opinion. Grand Moff Tranner ^(Comlink) 22:49, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
    • On the databank page for rex, it says "in command of the famed 501st clone trooper battalion, rex...", so doesn't that suggest he's in command? NighthawkLeader 02:44, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
      • Well, the 501st is a legion, and in the GAR, a battalion is smaller than a legion. So Rex is likely commander of a battalion of the 501st, rather than commander of the entire legion (which makes sense, given his rank). Grand Moff Tranner ^(Comlink) 14:24, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
        • You may very well have spotted this already, but the "501st Legion" entry in the Databank now says: "The core group of the 501st were assigned to Anakin Skywalker, who was served by Clone Captain Rex." ~~grobiano~~

[edit] Designation?

If he's one of the Advanced Recon Commandos, shouldn't his designation be "Alpha-(number)"? (JordanRevin08 08:51, 2 July 2008 (UTC)JordanRevin08)

• I dont think all ARC's are designated alphas, just the Alpha-class Advanced Recon Commandos. These were the first 100 ARCs created. NighthawkLeader 08:56, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
  • He'd have to be an Alpha. The Nulls didn't serve in the army. Grand Moff Tranner ^(Comlink) 12:07, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Besides, all Nulls have been named and accounted for. Rex is definitely supposed to be an Alpha, but apparently the creators of the show didn't do enough research on ARCs when they came up with Rex's designation, which is not unusual, considering all the other times Star Wars had to be retconned due to story line errors.

[edit] ARC?

Are you sure Rex is an ARC trooper? The Databank doesn't even mention it.

My feeling is that he's only a 501st clone captain. Moreover ARC troopers are special units and are not really attached to a corps, a legion, or whatever. (Mister D 14:17, 5 July 2008 (UTC)Mister D)

• I don't think he's an ARC either. Perhaps he was originally conceived as an ARC trooper, but that appears to have changed. Grand Moff Tranner ^(Comlink) 14:24, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
• OK, as we don't really know if he's an ARC or not, I've edited the part saying "Rex was an ARC trooper captain" and I simply replaced it by "Rex was a clone trooper captain". I suggest we keep this version until we get further info on the character. (Mister D 12:27, 7 July 2008 (UTC)Mister D)

• He has all the equipment and Arc would use?Do most regular captions get that equipment?Sith-venator 9-23-08 5:10pm

[edit] Hair

As per the novel, he shaves his head bald, it's not bleached. There's a scene in the novel where he shaves his head, and he makes numerous references to being bald-headed throughout the book. Tam 22:17, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

• You know, the reference is there for a reason... Grand Moff Tranner ^(Comlink) 22:19, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Novel, page 19: "You missed a patch, sir. Going for the tufted look?" "Maybe a topknot." Rex allowed himself a smile, then pocketed the razor. "Or a fancy braid like those Weequay pirates." Grand Moff Tranner ^(Comlink) 22:22, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
    • You're right - I misremembered that scene as him shaving the rest off his hair. No worries. :) Tam 23:12, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

What's with there being no full body pics of Rex anywhere? I've looked all over the internet but haven't managed to find a single shot of Rex that wasn't cut off at the waist or a toy. It doesn't really seem to make sense since Commander Fox has full body pics and he only showed up for a grand total of 30 seconds when Rex doesn't but he's in the majority of the movie.
