Think about everything he's been through that we've seen. And if he was in RotJ, that means he probably went through some shit during ANH and ESB, too.

Aw huh

He becomes damn near the most relevant character in all of Star Wars. It's kind of crazy. My hope is that Filoni is just wishful thinking and has reconsidered his comments. Because, honestly, it's a full no retcon. My hope is he's come to his senses and Rex IS NOT in RotJ. But we'll see where they take things. If he is, then that's pretty impressive. If he's not, then he's about to fucking die on Rebels.

Here's what's wrong with Rex being there. Stop me if you see it already.

Rex knew Obi Wan and Anakin Skywalker.

So he's never gonna mention to Luke Skywalker, who's on the same mission with him, 'hey, eh Commander Skywalker, eh, I knew your pops way back when... yknow before the other thing'

Dumb retcon Filoni

Several options here, though.

Rex thinks Obi-Wan is dead. We know this from Twin Sons. So even though he knew Kenobi, there's no real reason for him to talk to Luke about him. Not that we've seen.

Also, Rex doesn't know that Vader is Anakin. Right? I haven't read a lot of the canon books/comics and stuff, so maybe this is covered. But based on the shows and what we've seen, Rex doesn't know. So... it still technically works. But, yeah, still think it's a dumb retcon.

Rex doesn't know Anakin is Vader. He thinks Anakin is long dead. Which is EXACTLY why as an old war horse he would say it to luke, no?

I fought with a general Anakin Skywalker once. You aren't related to him are you?


This is very Irish of me cos if you meet another Irish guy while overseas and you know someone in the town he's from it's usually the first thing you ask. And you usually end up both knowing the guy.

Oh man, if they even THINK about killing off Chopper, the internet will implode.

He's one of those things. Very literally divides the fan base in half.
I've grown to love him. But the droids and alien members of the cast are always first up to discover humans. Kids show n all.
