Talk:CT-7567/Legends

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)

 * 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)

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". 20:48, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

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. 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)

501st ranks
If he commands the 501st, what does that make Appo70.181.81.245 04:20, 17 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)
 * 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 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 [[Image:Imperial Department of Military Research.svg|20px]] (Comlink) 19:39, 31 May 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 [[Image:Imperial Department of Military Research.svg|20px]] (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 [[Image:Imperial Department of Military Research.svg|20px]] (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? 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 [[Image:Imperial Department of Military Research.svg|20px]] (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

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)

The Nulls were deemed not fit for baddly, that is why they are not it the fighting force of the army. They are mainly used for gathering intel. THey do some fighting in a few battles. (User:captianordo
 * I dont think all ARC's are designated alphas, just the Alpha-class Advanced Recon Commandos. These were the first 100 ARCs created. 08:56, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * He'd have to be an Alpha. The Nulls didn't serve in the army. Grand Moff Tranner [[Image:Imperial Department of Military Research.svg|20px]] (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. (JordanRevin08 17:01, 2 July 2008 (UTC)JordanRevin08)

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 [[Image:Imperial Department of Military Research.svg|20px]] (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

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 [[Image:Imperial Department of Military Research.svg|20px]] (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 [[Image:Imperial Department of Military Research.svg|20px]] (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)


 * Novel, rest of 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." It was the first chance he'd had to sit back and take a breather for days, and his head buzzed with fatigue. The armies of separatist droids here has been reduced to scrap and a few pockets of resistance; Christophsis has finally fallen to the republic. In the Clone Z-22 07:41, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

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.

Teamup?

 * I was watching THE CLONE WARS yesterday and it showed Rex with Commander Cody as an inspection team. So, does that mean that the 501st Legion and the 212th Attack Battalion worked together? User:WILDEYE N-25 20:12, 25 October

501st legion
Rex could have been promoted for his victories and his bravery to a Senior Clone Commander and took control of the whole 501st Legion as the main leader and let the other minor leaders like Appo and Bow take troops from Rex's 501st Legion to battles which they were included in so Rex didn't have to be going everywhere in battles which his legion was included. I found the information about Rex being a Senior Clone Commander at the character description at cartoonnetwork.com in the Star Wars The Clone Wars section. And at starwars.com the star wars the clone wars theatrical website character section. Please check starwars.com,instruction go to starwars.com then look near the top of the webpage and drag mouse to Clone Wars but don't click then 3 phrases will appear click on theatrical website then you will arrive at the star wars the clone wars theatrical website then you will see sections on top of screen, click on character section and then a box will appear and you will see the names of characters and you will see rex's name as Clone Commander Rex.Please follow instructions and respond to me. General Grievous 9 23:36, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It says he commands a battalion. So he was upgraded from commanding only Torrent Company, to an as-yet-unidentified battalion. He is not in command of the entire 501st Legion. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 02:40, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * And might I add that doing this (asking on the talk page) is the right thing to do, not continuing to put the incorrect statements back into the article after they were removed. Grand Moff Tranner [[Image:Imperial Department of Military Research.svg|20px]] (Comlink) 11:01, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * italic and bold underline => red text =>READ THE ARTICLE!!!!IT SAYS HE WAS COMMANDER OF THE TORRENT COMPANY!!!!!APPO WAS COMMANDER OF THE ENTIRE LEIGION!!!!!!!!!!
 * Chill bro. No need to scream. And yes, I agree. Darth Kynval 17:05, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Just A Name?

 * So is Rex a commander, or a captain. The CC-7567 in his title says that he's a commander, but his name is Captain Rex. WILDEYE N-25 20:54, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Rex is a captain. "CC" probably also stands for "Clone Captain." Grand Moff Tranner [[Image:Imperial Department of Military Research.svg|20px]] (Comlink) 21:09, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, except that every other captain has a designation with CT not CC. With the exception of CC-8/349. WILDEYE N-25 20:32, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, there you have it. Rex isn't the only captain with a CC designation. Grand Moff Tranner [[Image:Imperial Department of Military Research.svg|20px]] (Comlink) 21:28, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the Clone Wars Campaign Guide explicitely says that Rex is a Commander. So, what is the final word? Gry Sarth 23:15, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The guide also has a picture caption that says Captain Rex. Seeing as the guide has already made an error regarding the BTL-B Y-wing starfighter, "Commander Rex" is probably just another error. Grand Moff Tranner [[Image:Imperial Department of Military Research.svg|20px]] (Comlink) 23:17, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, they call him "Commander" six times in the text, so that's hardly a typo. Is that really something we can just ignore?Gry Sarth 23:38, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * If we can ignore the BTL-S1 designation for the BTL-B, then yes. Grand Moff Tranner [[Image:Imperial Department of Military Research.svg|20px]] (Comlink) 23:40, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * We're getting pretty good at ignoring stuff, aren't we? ;-) Gry Sarth 23:59, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Just thought I'd let you know..
I deleted a sentence from the article that was most unnecessary. It said something about emailing a certain address for more information. If that was supposed to be there (which I doubt) my apologies. Darthkam 16:13, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

General Grievous 9's reason for editing articles.
When I edit articles I improve them by adding pictures and lots of descriptive and informational writing to the text. Pictures improve the visual look of the articles and make the articles more fun to look at and read and my descriptive writing adds a lot of information to the articles and makes them very descriptive and makes sure the articles are long and expanded so star wars fans can enjoy tons of fun reading and looking at the pictures and writing I add.So mainly I improve the articles 100fold with the pictures and lots and lots of writing I put on the them.Please respond and don't insult me or others because we are all alike we all want to expand Wookieepedia and have fun looking at the website for pure star wars enjoyment.-User:General Grievous 9.Clones rule. 11:06,6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Cramming images into an article without the room for them does not improve the look and overall experience of Wookieepedia. It detracts from it. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 13:01, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

When I add images it may look like they are crammed but they are not I probably made the images too big and I don't detract from the article. My writing is very descriptive and informational that star wars fans can enjoy the articles so much that they can have fun reading and looking at the pictures for tons of star wars fun.Please respond.-User:General Grievous 9.Clones rule! 23:37,6 December 2008 (UTC)

Alpha became Rex
Some of you may or may not know the TBA comics of The Clone Wars comics. (Republic, Obessions) etc. In the comics there was a ARC trooper who was called Alpha, I believe that was the name Jango gave him. They first meet at the Battle of Kamino. But then I was watching the new Clone Wars movie, and very early on in the movie during audio commentary they talk about Rex and that he was actually Alpha from the comics. But during script the writers decided that Ahsoka, Anakin and Alpha (AAA) didn't really work etc. Anyways there was a reason they changed Alpha to Rex. Anakin changed it to Rex or something.

So I suggest maybe a merge of the articles about Alpha and Rex since they are one and the same. This wouldn't be the first article that's a mix between characters from the Clone Wars 2004-2007 comics and the actual Clone Wars 3D series with different names.81.69.155.27 17:55, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * No. The ARC trooper in TCW was originally intended to be Alpha, then they changed him to a new character named Rex. There's a difference between replacing a character and renaming one. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 17:47, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

He is right. Alpha is still Alpha, and Rex is still Rex. Rex was just originally supposed to be Alpha, but instead, they LEFT ALPHA ALONE and came up with a new character. Got it? Alpha has stayed in the comics as A-17, and Rex is a clone captain-two completely different things and two different people. I hope you can understand that because I put in the simplest terms known to mankind. Rex is not Alpha with a new name. 65.40.146.238 20:30, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Snow Rex.
Go to Starwars.com then go to the clone wars page and a trooper will be briefly shown to advertise for Trespass. im pretty sure this is Rex in snow gear.--Butters4115 12:47, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * And I'm pretty sure there's no source identifying that as Rex. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 12:59, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It's certainly him, due to the Jaig eyes on the helmet. But better wait a couple of days on the risk of commiting a wookiee-crime. Gry Sarth 21:51, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * it's him i just watched Clone Wars and thats Rex. WILDEYE N-25 05:49, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I think there should be a picture of Rex in his Snowtrooper gear in the main article. It's a very relevant variation of his look, moreso than other pictures currently present. Gry Sarth 15:56, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * And one probably will be, once a section gets written about it, and his time on Orto Plutonia. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 15:58, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Tougher than most clones?
Where do we get this from? Just because he survived being infected by the virus doesn't mean he's tougher. Padme and Ahsoka survived it, and I'd bet nobody would say that because of that they are tougher than most of the Clone Troopers. Shouldn't this be taken out? It seems heavily opinionated.Darthkam 23:11, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree; I don't know where that came from. Removing it. --CC7567 23:17, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Much thanks! Darthkam 23:31, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

What happens to the guy?
Rex is a great character and the definition of Bad Ass, but what do you suppose happens to him in the end? Because the movie was before the series, and Rex's creation, there is no mention what happens. Do you think they kill him off or something else happens.
 * We don't know at the moment, especially since so far he's only appeared in The Clone Wars-related media and not any of the films or any other media. --CC7567 04:11, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Good Article?
Can this be a good article now?
 * If it's nominated as one and chosen to be one, then possibly. But as it's still in need of updating from recently released (or not) material, it needs to be updated before it can be nominated. -- CC7567 [ http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/thumb/5/5f/Rex.png/20px-Rex.png] talk 07:57, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
