"In my book, experience outranks everything..."

- CC-7567 to Ahsoka Tano

CC-7567, also known as Rex, was a clone trooper captain.

Biography


During the Clone Wars he was in command of Torrent Company of the famed 501st Legion. Rex and his men were assigned to patrol the sectors of the galaxy within the Outer Rim. Anakin Skywalker's second in command during the Clone Wars, Captain Rex was a freethinking tough as nails and aggressive clone trooper. Rex voiced his professional opinion to even the highest-ranking Jedi.

Rex fought alongside Generals Kenobi and Skywalker at the Battle of Christophsis, and then led Torrent Company at the Battle of Teth. Rex and his men held off Asajj Ventress' droid armies long enough for Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano to escape Teth with Rotta the Hutt. Although Torrent Company was reduced to six men during the battle, Rex and his soldiers held off an entire droid army long enough for General Kenobi to arrive with the 212th Attack Battalion. Rex understood Anakin's decision to head to Tatooine, as the mission always comes first.

Armor and equipment
Rex's armor used the color design that the entire 501st Legion had in 19 BBY, though the armor itself was still Phase I armor. He also wore a kama and pauldron, and his helmet displayed Jaig eyes. He carried twin blaster pistols but also utilized the more standard blaster rifles. When required, Rex could also be seen using jetpacks.

Behind the scenes
Captain Rex was revealed as part of a promotion for the upcoming toyline based on the new 3-D series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Fans can purchase four figures and with a $7.99 check mail away for a Captain Rex figure. In a recent Q and A with Hasbro, they revealed that he will be a "central figure" in The Clone Wars series.
