No, Captain Rex (CT-7567) was not officially an ARC Trooper by rank, though he received ARC training and possessed their skills, leading to some confusion; he was promoted directly to Captain and later Commander, serving as a high-ranking officer alongside Anakin Skywalker, but his official designation remained a clone trooper (CC-7567) rather than an Advanced Recon Commando (ARC).
The leader of the 501st Legion's Torrent Company, CT-7567 – better known as Rex – was an exemplary clone trooper, brave under fire and dedicated to the men serving under him. As a no-nonsense, by-the-book trooper, Rex had to adjust to the maverick Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and his headstrong Padawan Ahsoka Tano.
ARC Troopers | Fandom. I was reading a post from a couple of days ago that said Commander Cody & Captain Rex were ARC Troopers. In season 3 during The Citadel they don't have Phase 2 armor like Fives & Echo.
In-universe, he's not an ARC Trooper because he's not an ARC Trooper, simple as that. ARC Troopers are specialist commandos who are trained to operate on their own or in very small teams, whereas Rex was Captain of the 501st Legion and Anakin's right hand.
Clones in training that were advanced were selected for arc training. From my past readings Rex was one of these clones and later selected to be an officer instead. As for the pauldrons(shoulder pad thing), 2 meant arc trooper and 1 meant Captain or Commander.
Fox, also identified by his clone designation CT-0000/1010, was a loyal clone trooper who fought as a soldier in the Grand Army of the Republic throughout the length of the Clone Wars. By 19 BBY, he was serving as a Clone Sergeant in the 501st Legion on the Republic's capital, Coruscant.
In Star Wars lore, Order 37 was a grim Clone Trooper contingency plan to capture a wanted individual (often a Jedi) by taking a civilian population hostage, locking down the area, and threatening mass execution if the target wasn't surrendered, making it a horrific tactic used by the Empire to force Jedi compliance. It was considered more brutal than Order 66 because it targeted civilians directly, forcing Jedi to often turn themselves in to save innocent lives, as seen on planets like Bellassa.
If we're comparing Captain Rex and Commander Cody, the first thing that comes up is rank—Cody outranks Rex.
The clone commando RC-1136, known as Darman Skirata, got Jedi Knight Etain Tur-Mukan pregnant during the Clone Wars, resulting in their son, Venku Skirata, a Force-sensitive child born outside the Jedi Code's restrictions. Their forbidden relationship and child's birth were detailed in the Republic Commando novels, highlighting the complexities of clone troopers' development and the strictures of the Jedi Order, as Etain was killed shortly after Order 66 while protecting her family.
The saddest Star Wars deaths often involve poignant sacrifice, broken relationships, or innocent lives lost, with fan favorites including Kanan Jarrus (heroic sacrifice for his family), Duchess Satine (Obi-Wan's lost love, brutally killed by Maul), Clone Trooper 99 (innocent loyalty and tragic end), Tech (sacrifice for his squad), Padmé Amidala (heartbreak and loss of hope), and Han Solo (fatherly tragedy). These deaths resonate due to their emotional impact, the characters' potential, or the deep impact on other heroes.
Cody retrieved Kenobi and called for backup, resulting in Rogue Squadron being dispatched to the Deep Core with Luke Skywalker. Mara Jade, Rex, Anakin Skywalker and Wolffe arrived first, and Rex and Cody reunited.
The 501st Legion, originally operating as the 501st Clone Battalion, was an elite group within the Republic Military. Structured as a battalion and later as a legion, the 501st was composed of elite clone troopers under the command of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and Jedi Commander Ahsoka Tano.
As far as you know, Anakin Skywalker and Captain Rex were very close friends during the Clone Wars. But before the battle for Coruscant, they had to split up and Rex went with Ahsoka to Mandalore, and Anakin went to Coruscant. After that, Anakin and Rex never saw each other again.
Due to his actions in the series, most infamously killing Fives, Fox is considered one of the most hated clones in the Star Wars community. Many fans rejoiced to see him finally get killed by Darth Vader later on.
About Captain Rex
Ahsoka outranked him because she was a Jedi, however Rex said, "In my book, experience outranks everything". Ahsoka then replied, "Well, if experience outranks everything, I guess I'd better start getting some!" The two became friends and Ahsoka got more experience, eventually outranking the captain!
Padmé didn't wear bras (or underwear) in Star Wars because director George Lucas famously told Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) there was "no underwear in space," a rule extended to other characters like Padmé, suggesting a sci-fi lack of undergarments for comfort or visual reasons, though Carrie Fisher found the rule odd and compared it to Padmé's frequent costume changes, as cited in Wookieepedia and Reddit. While Leia famously went braless under her white robes (using gaffer tape instead), Padmé's elaborate outfits often made bras impractical or unnecessary for the desired look.
Anakin and Padmé share their first kiss.
Lux Bonteri
However, Ahsoka found it annoying, as she immediately shrugged his crush off her. This changed during their time together, as Ahsoka began developing feelings for Lux until she and Padme left Raxus, she and Lux said their goodbyes before going their separate ways.
Ahsoka was with the 501st legion whereas Cody was in the 212th. The two of them were both commanders, however Ahsoka had an upper edge. She was a Jedi Padawan, meaning she outranked any clone trooper.
I know there are inconsistencies in the Rebel Alliance ranks, but it bugs me Ezra had no insignia but is a Commander, outranking Old Man Rex and Kallus. Hera was also a Captain until towards the end of season 4 when she became a General.
Rex, designated CT-7567, was a veteran Clone Captain, Clone Commander, and Advanced Recon Commando who commanded the Grand Army of the Republic's famed 501st Legion of clone troopers during the Clone Wars.
Form VII (Juyo), the "Ferocity Form," was banned by the Jedi Order because it required channeling aggression, anger, and other intense emotions to fuel its wild, relentless, and unpredictable attacks, which closely skirts the dark side and risks corrupting the user, a direct violation of the Jedi Code's emphasis on peace and emotional control, even though Mace Windu later adapted it into the controlled Vaapad variant for a select few.
Order 66, also known as Clone Protocol 66, Protocol 66, or simply "the Order," was one of top-secret contingency orders that identified all Jedi as traitors to the Galactic Republic and, therefore, subject to summary execution by the Grand Army of the Republic.
Clone 99, or simply 99, was a human male clone of Jango Fett bred to be a clone trooper for the Galactic Republic's Grand Army. However, he was rendered genetically defective in the cloning process, and instead of serving in the army, he was assigned to be a maintenance duty clone on his home planet of Kamino.
