Impressive Star Wars: The Clone Wars cosplay shows the clone Captain Rex honoring his Commander and friend, Ahsoka Tano. The Clone Wars animated series took a deeper look at the conflict between the Republic and the Separatists that took place between Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. Not only did this provide audiences with a better understanding of the galaxy’s complex politics and Darth Sidious’ Imperial plan, but it also allowed viewers to see the clone troopers as individual characters with their own hopes, friendships, and personalities. One of those characters was Captain Rex, who led the 501st clone trooper Legion under the command of General Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano.
Impressive cosplay by cosplayer Matt shows Captain Rex honoring Ahsoka Tano by holding a clone trooper helmet painted to match her appearance – a helmet painted by the clones who would, only hours later, attack her during Order 66 in the final arc of The Clone Wars season 7.
Ahsoka and Rex endured many battles together, but none were as harrowing as when their friends turned against them due to Palpatine’s evil manipulations. The painted helmets proved how much the clones respected Ahsoka even after she left the Jedi Order in The Clone Wars season 5, but their faith in her wasn’t enough to counteract their programming.
