Rex as a good guy... wat.
I'm kinda confused why Rex and his bearded buddies wouldn't have turned on the Jedi like all the other clones
Rex was witness to a clone who had his chip removed, learned of Palpatine's plot, and then in a drugged state tried to explain it but was killed. Evidently, Rex put the pieces together and told Commander Wolffe and some other clones what was going on, and they had the bio chips removed.

They have a bio chip of some sort embedded in their brains at birth that causes them to act accordingly whenever they hear a "trigger phrase" (AKA hearing "execute Order 66").Rex was witness to a clone who had his chip removed, learned of Palpatine's plot, and then in a drugged state tried to explain it but was killed.

He may have been questioning things about his purpose, etc. And simply decided to have the chip removed, gone AWOL, and later discovered what one of the "trigger phrases" served to do after or during Order 66.

Napalm pls.
Quote from: Comet on April 19, 2015, 01:48:55 AMNapalm pls.You're acting like I'm excusing a massive plot hole, when I'm not. Even if it ends up being a plot hole I definitely won't be excusing it.I am theorizing as to how this occurred, seeing as we never see the events in which we can point out plot holes in.

So is the clone wars and rebels worth the watch
TCW sucks for the majority of the first two seasons.
Quote from: Mmmmm Napalm on April 19, 2015, 10:06:38 AMTCW sucks for the majority of the first two seasons. I'm currently rewatching The Clone Wars with a friend so he can then watch Rebels. Season 2 is when it starts getting good, with the introductions of Cad Bane, Boba Fett, Landing at point Rain, and such. The first season isn't as bad as I remember it, but a lot of episodes don't seem necessary to watch. It's mainly just mindless action, like the first half of 2003 Clone Wars.

Hm thanks for the advice guys. And I think I'll watch it all. Not one of those people that can just skip around stuff.
I like the new look. Anyway, here's the Clones' identities.The Clone on the left is Gregor, that Republic Commando we saw in Season 5.The middle one is Rex (duh).And the one on the right is Commander Wolffe (Filoni's favorite).

If you do find yourself struggling to get through the show at times, let me recommend some episodes that are a breath of fresh air:The arc starting with "Darkness on Umbara". Feels like a Vietnam War movie in some ways. Focuses on clone troopers.Anything with Maul in it. TCW turned Maul into an actual character, and Sam Winter (who will be voicing Palpatine in Rebels) does an amazing job playing Maul.Watch the episodes regarding Domino squad. There's some training episode > Rookies > Kamino invasion episodes > The Citadel arc > Umbara arc > Season six Fives/Order 66 arc.I know you don't want to skip anything, but TCW in the earlier episodes (and some later ones) can be a serious pain to get through.
