I'm looking at Nick Sant's Wookiepedia page, and the whole thing is about how much this guy looks like Rex and almost nothing else. Who even made up the name Nick Sant?

Two things at play. The first is the one Filoni has addressed straight up, which is that he felt booting and retconning (basically erasing) an existing character that was established before he ever joined Star Wars wasn't right. The second issue, which I don't know if Filoni has ever talked about head-on, is the pushback regarding the actor who plays Nik Sant being Caucasian. So, if they decided to make that character Rex, that's some pretty blatant and unnecessary white washing.

Is the character of Rex considered something other than Caucasian?

The actor that played the original clone is not white. He’s maori, i believe.

And the actor that originally played Boba Fett was white.

But his face was never shown. I think the point being that since Temura took over the role as the “original” clone, they can’t just then say a certain clone was white when the original in SW canon wasn’t

I was just saying there probably aren’t even Caucasian or Māori races in a galaxy far, far away

Nic sant cos he looks like Santa Clause / old Saint Nicholas if I had to guess

Begun the hype machine has

Those blue lines definitely suggests the world between worlds doesn’t it?

Man that sub cover is aces! Love the Thrawn shadow & WBW glyphs.

Dime, George Lucas and Mark Hamill called and said you are not allowed to see any new Star Wars shows.

Just tune in here and we will tell you what happens each episode.

Sorry dude!

Well that would just be my luck. I’m missing THREE gigs by my favourite band this week.
First time I’ve ever missed them playing in Ireland.

Life’s out to get me

I blame Lucas and Hamill for that, too.

It’s the universe paying you back for bringing Covid back with you and introducing it to Europe.

The universe knew this was a much harsher punishment.

The universe can suck my kiss.
