Echo was a nickname of the clone trooper who served in the Clone Wars.

Biography


Echo was given the name because he echoed the orders of the commander in charge of his unit. Early in the war, Echo was a rookie trooper or "shinie" stationed on a remote listening post on the Rishi moon that warned Kamino of any attacks. He was in the control room when BX-series droid commandos attacked the station.

Echo, along with Hevy, Cutup, and Fives managed to escape from charging droids by crawling through a ventilation duct. He witnessed the death of Cutup when a Rishi eel attacked them. When Commander Cody and Captain Rex arrived for an inspection and met the survivors, they came up with a plan to retake the base. The plan succeeded, but when Separatist reinforcements arrived, Rex and Fives decided to create a massive detonator which would destroy the station, alerting the fleet that the Separatists were preparing an assault on Kamino. After Hevy sacrificed himself by manually blowing up the station, Cody, Rex, Echo and Fives were rescued from the moon by a pair of LAAT Gunships. Soon, Echo and Fives were given awards for their efforts during the battle. Captain Rex also recommended the surviving two for positions in the 501st Legion.

Behind the scenes
Echo received a Rishi eel blood-stained hand print on his chest armor from Captain Rex. However, there is a continuity error, because in following scenes, this hand print would disappear and reappear.

Echo is the only trooper aside from the watch officer that wore a binocular visor, signifying that he was the second watch officer.

In the first premiere of "Rookies", Echo says the word "hell" once. This would be censored in its second airing due to complaints from parents.
