Star Wars fans are always looking for more adventures from their favorite characters! A brand-new book from Marc Sumerak and Alberto Buscicchio has gotten everyone talking and thinking about what might come next. That book? It's called Star Wars: The Secrets of the Clone Troopers and hints at one exciting potential.
Captain Rex's Return?
A very popular character from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Captain Rex might show up again in live-action! It would certainly be the perfect moment for fans who watched Star Wars evolve from its earliest animation days. For 16 years fans of Star Wars animation saw how the characters transitioned over various projects from animation to the big screen. In fact, a very special arc shows us just how amazing things can really get.
This has a real implication to the newest Star Wars movies and television shows and how exciting they could potentially become. You might see this big trend in live-action Star Wars where there's a clear connection to The Mandalorian era, an era of time when things are changing!
- Fans can expect some great things with The Mandalorian & Grogu.
- Then there's Ahsoka season 2, which promises some incredible moments!
- Finally there is Dave Filoni's big screen debut that could change how we think about Star Wars for a very, very long time.
Many shows focus on well-loved characters, including those from Star Wars animation and it looks like they could be even more epic! With everything planned this may finally include Captain Rex! There is so much building up with Ahsoka!
Secrets of the Clone Troopers:
The book Star Wars: The Secrets of the Clone Troopers talks about Captain Rex's experiences during this New Republic era after "Return of the Jedi." You see a side to this very brave soldier and there are some pretty cool insights into his thoughts! For example, the fact that the war was over didn't mean his battles were done, that his friendships, and alliances he forged along the way meant there was still so much more work to be done. A cool quote to read and re-read. It goes something like this:
"The war against the Empire may be over, but a good soldier knows that there's plenty of work left to be done after the last shots are fired. My rebel friends and I are still picking up the pieces, but as far as we can tell, Palpatine is gone for good and the galaxy is finally free."
With such compelling insights, you'll immediately wonder: who are these "rebel friends?" Well, we already got a taste in Star Wars Rebels.
A Reunion With Ahsoka:
What made this connection so incredible? Fans already got to see Ahsoka Tano team up with Rex. They are characters that even survived Order 66, in the ending moments of "The Clone Wars" series. The Rebels series took fans on an epic journey that featured Ahsoka in the role of Fulcrum, a character she plays as she supports the Rebellion!
If that's not cool enough, what comes next takes a deeper dive as Rex makes his reunion with Ahsoka! You see this come to light as the story moves forward with another special, unforgettable event.
- There's this exciting part of "The Lost Commanders," from Rebels where we meet some additional surviving clones.
- There are really exciting interactions. As fans see Kanan battle with the feelings around his perceptions of the clones.
It seems like so many characters were tied together and some may wonder just why that is!
An Epic Reunion
For Star Wars fans that may have been wondering if Captain Rex was actually going to show up in live-action again! You have more reasons to celebrate as that door has been opened!
It looks like many fan favorite characters have made their mark. Ahsoka Tano is one example! After getting her start in animation, Ahsoka Tano now has amazing live-action moments to watch in multiple projects like The Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett and of course Ahsoka!
- There are plenty of other examples as well including
- Ezra Bridger
- Hera Syndulla
- Sabine Wren.
There's even a cool fact to point out here! That there's another really powerful opportunity to bring even more characters to the world of live-action Star Wars as well.
You already got a glimpse in Ahsoka showing some appearances, but that wasn't Captain Rex full entry! What really stands out was Captain Rex's appearance as a very special, and quick cameo! That cameo only gave viewers this brief, and short glimpse and a real mystery is just what is to come for Captain Rex! What happens? Well, only time will tell what this beloved character might be doing next!
A Dream Come True?
Many viewers wonder what will happen next! It's an exciting mystery with the upcoming live action Star Wars episodes. You get this real idea that Dave Filoni will ultimately have a story that is ready to be told with so many recognizable figures.
What makes it so powerful and so incredible? If Captain Rex does indeed re-enter this cinematic world he may finally unite 16 years of great Star Wars television for fans. It doesn't only give us great crossovers between beloved animation. But the characters that grew from it.
- We can even have Ahsoka meet up with Captain Rex
- There's potential for even more crossovers including other characters from The Bad Batch.
All of this shows there's this intense setup which gives great hope and a really powerful reason why this may just work out for everyone!
You might even get this crossover for Dave Filoni's Mandalorian movie! No one knows what the exact story will entail. Many believe that some big moment will bring many beloved characters together from various series in this epic Star Wars crossover! While some parts are still speculation, it is possible for Captain Rex to bring together those various iconic animated figures from several epic series, ultimately transforming how Star Wars could potentially evolve in the years to come!
