Echo was a nickname of the clone trooper who served in the Clone Wars. 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 the Droid Commandos attacked the station.

He, along with Hevy, Cutup, and Fives managed to escape from charging droids by crawling through a ventilation duct. He witnessed the death of Cutup along with the others when a giant 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, Fives and Captain Rex decided to create a massive detonator which would destroy the station alerting the fleet that the Separatists were preparing their assault. After Hevy sacrificed himself by manually blowing up the station, Commander 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's character was first revealed in a storyboard for The Clone Wars TV series shown on StarWars.com.
 * Echo received a Rishi eel blood stained handprint on his chest armor from Captain Rex.
 * Continuity error: In following scenes, this handprint would disappear and reappear.
 * He is the only trooper aside from the watch officer that wore a binocular visor, signifying he's the second watch officer.
 * Continuity error: When the base is first attacked by droid commandos and the four remaining troopers first climb into the ventilation shaft, all four of them have standard clone trooper helmets and not one of them has one with binocular vision. In the next seen however, they are seen coming out of the shaft and that is when Echo is first seen with a watch officer helmet.
