Unidentified 501st Legion clone trooper

A 501st Legion clone trooper served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. In 19 BBY, the clone trooper and his unit, the 501st Legion, attacked the Jedi Temple on the capital planet Coruscant, shortly before Order 66 was issued which deemed all Jedi as traitors of the Republic. After the trooper and the 501st Legion captured the Temple and killed most of the Jedi inside, the trooper and several squads of clone troopers were tasked with garrisoning the building. While standing guard at the Temple, the trooper was killed by Jedi Grand Master Yoda.

Biography
A clone trooper was one of the many clones of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, which were bred on the planet Kamino, to fight in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. The clone trooper was assigned to the 501st Legion &mdash;an elite unit of clone troopers.

In 19 BBY, the 501st Legion&mdash;under the command of Sith Lord Darth Vader&mdash;was tasked with capturing the Jedi Temple which was located on the planet Coruscant. After Vader and the 501st Legion began their assault on the Jedi Temple, Order 66&mdash;a Contingency Order which branded all Jedi as traitors of the Republic&mdash;was issued. After the clone legion captured the Temple and killed most Jedi inside, the trooper and several other clones were tasked with guarding and garrisoning the remains of the building to counter possible attacks of surviving Jedi.

During their guard duty, the trooper and his comrades were attacked by two Jedi who had survived Order 66&mdash;Grand Master Yoda and Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Despite their numeric advantage, the trooper and his squad were quickly decimated by the Jedi Masters. The trooper himself engaged Yoda, but he met his end when the Jedi Master threw his saber at him, impaling and killing the trooper.

Personality and traits
The trooper, like his clone imprint Jango Fett, stood 1.83 meters tall. Although the trooper was a member of the elite 501st Legion the clone was quickly killed by Yoda. In combat, the trooper was armed with a DC-15S blaster and wore Phase II clone trooper armor with blue markings &mdash;the color of the 501st Legion.

Behind the scenes
The trooper appeared as an unidentified character in George Lucas' 2005 film Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Later an action figure of the clone and Yoda was released by Sideshow Collectibles.
