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)

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)

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)


 * 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.

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)

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 resppnd to me.

 * 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)

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)
