Star Wars Explained | Is Rex in Return of the Jedi? @StarWarsExplained | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 6 days ago.
Is this bearded rebel at the Battle of Endor actually the clone, Rex? Officially, I would say no. At a screening for the Star Wars Rebels season two finale, Dave Filoni first suggested the idea that the character originally known as Nik Sant could have been Rex instead. The Star Wars Rebels series finale confirmed that Rex did fight at the Battle of Endor, but in a new interview, Filoni walked back his speculation, saying he didn’t want to explicitly replace a previously existing Star Wars character with Rex. That said, a Galaxy of Adventures short on the official Star Wars Kids YouTube channel did replace Nik Sant with Rex, complete with bits of his clone armor. So there is still kind of a link between the two characters. I think this is another case of simply choosing whatever you personally prefer. To quote Filoni one more time, he said, “I didn't want to lay it down in stone one way or the other, if that is Rex, is not Rex. For some people it's fun to believe it is Rex and some people don't want to believe it's Rex, and I'm fine either way with that and I think I left it in a state where you could believe one way or the other.” #starwars
