Captain Rex meets Commander Wolffe after a long time | Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 3 Ep 7 

hes also a commander and has operational authority over this mission, and his orders are to be followed.

@@CT_Taylor So did Rex But look how that turned out 😢

@@CommanderScout rex was overriden by other clones because of the fact a contingency order 66 was active, which comes from the supreme chancellor who ranks above all. They wouldnt be able to follow his orders to stand down because he wasnt, in effect, the leader in that scenario. There is no "order 62 kill all traitor clones" for example active

​@CommanderScout That was order 66 though and he at first gave orders to take down Ahsoka where with this scene its way different. They are trying to take Omega woth strict orders of no harm to be done. 2 complete different situations.

The 104 attack battalion doesnt have a detachment of commandos. Its prob his order to follow his command anyway.

Which is ironic to the Storm Troopers, which were designed to look the same as each other. Right down to the height and weight, it almost looks like an endless tide of the same person was coming at you in a battle.

yeah it is wholesome the bad guys don't show their faces while the good clones decide to take off mask and actually reason with others

Clonemanity

Yep though it seems like the rest of wolfpack had to change anyway

@@B-52HThe perks of being a high ranking officer I guess.

He really lucked out on the paint job color.

@treygoldsworthy1402 keep in mind Cody was also a commander but he didnt get to keep his orange paint.

Well, I got the 66th like. You know what that means.

The commando clones doesn’t care. They were barely use for the frontline compare to the other troopers there so they had no feelings towards those regs

Vode' An

@@coffeelink943 no, they are different because Mace Windu got killed many of them during an attack. They hated both the Jedi and Republic, they don't share the same bonding with clones as clones do.

​@@OXY187source on any of this? Afaik the commandos were pretty indifferent to the change in government and the Jedi in legends and still are in canon. They just rarely ever had to interact with Jedi or deal with civilians and didn't learn to see themselves as anything more than good soldiers that follow orders.

@@krystalneko4094 it was revealed to me in a dream.

DUDEEEEEEEEE yeah now that makes sense why palpatine specifically contacted rex personally (as he did with cody in the movies) & gave him special orders on ahsoka despite her not being a jedi

@TTeed-gv1fv Seeeee someone gets it!

I think the main reason for the independence of clones in the 501st is due to the close contact with Anakin, Obi Wan, and Yoda. The three of them encouraged independence and their differences. Even in the 1st episode (I think) of the clone wars, when Yoda and 3 clones have to fight off a platoon of droids, Yoda himself see's each clone as completely different and unique in the force, and encourages their uniqueness, as that's what sets them apart from droids. But Obi Wan, and especially Anakin, heavily emphasized individualism and independence. Not all Jedi's do, even towards the end of the war. Many treat the clones as just another number, but our MCs know better. And so this encouragement and pragmatic approach naturally allows for more independence to grow which leads to forward thinking and higher quality troopers.

Can you really blame them? Most of the clone legions develop or either somewhat get their personalities from their jedi generals. Look at the clones who were under general's that valued each of their life like Plo, Anakin, Obi-wan and others. The way they think was far more different to your regular "good soldiers follow orders" clones. Especially the 501st under Anakin.

Most of the 501st were reformed into the special squad that was under direct command of Vader, nicknamed “Vader’s Fist” and if I’m not mistaken Rex was a commander among this elite unit.

I wonder where he was during order 66

@@garrettjackson1451 If this was Legends, I’d say he tragically made the choice to be a good soldier. But in this continuity I guess the chip made him do it, so it’s not his fault at all. No real moral dilemma there.

@@warlordofbritanniahe was probably somewhere else as Plo Koon was shot down while Wolfe is more of a fighter on the ground.

Plo Kloon was killed by the 91st recon Unit white armor red insignia. Commander Wolffe wasn't behind the trigger.

True, all that effort of trying to save clones, just to die to one of their own.

I'm glad they did that tho, it shows how not to get too attached on things or ppl because it adds a toll on the ones who live on great story telling tho, just remember the fallen and enjoy the moments they had together fighting together for something they believed in

And never forget how they destroyed the commandos and turned them into cool looking canon fodder

Im still hella pissed about that those guys doesn't deserved to die

I'm tired of them killing at the clones now. Just let some have a happy ending

Both of them have unique enough armors, especially helmets. And they operated together quite a few times

Yeah is there a reason he didnt have it in the BB?

@@idkibk7 he probably got rid of it to be less recognizable

@@lukethegoldenminecart1297 I remember he got shot in the pauldron when Ahsoka and him were escaping from the venator at the end of S7 of clone wars. So maybe he took it off since there was a hole and was never able to replace it.

and now she has joined the rebellion

Rex picked up alot from his numerous missions with kenobi skywalker and ashoka so he's using experience which as we all know outranks everything 😎

"In my book experience outranks everything" -Captain 7567 "Rex"

They were actually. Wolffe fought against the chip but couldn’t stop it.

I hate the chips for this reason. It takes away so much potential drama (not to mention the original point of Order 66 thematically) by stripping the clones of their agency. It also makes no sense that it’s only there for Order 66, but that’s a whole ‘nother issue…😂

@@warlordofbritanniabut then again, it is because of that stripped agency that some drama can occur from the Clones.

​@warlordofbritannia if there was no chip it wouldn't make sense that almost all clones would kill their jedi superiors also the chip not only working for order 66 does make sense since after the order is finished no other major order was given by palpatine

I mean this was part of the Grand Plan orchestrated by Palpatine, and it clearly worked so..

Yeah but Wolffe is Filoni's super special favorite OC donut steal so he gets special treatment, like all other characters Filoni gets attached to.

@@CheemsofRegretyeah just like plo is his favourite Jedi and Star Wars character

His helmet and armor had the same color in Rebels, so it probably wouldn't make sense for them to get rid of Wolffe's original armor design.

Tbf, Cody had his color pattern the same, just changed the 212th colors to grey

he is gray which fits the empires whole sterilized color gimmick, they probably allowed it as a result

if i hear anything about delta squad i will start watching this show again

ofcourse there is a way so many stayed loyal like any war this was a war of information whoever gets to preach first is who is believed after the jedi were dead who was there to really say something against the empire that brought weight? no one so what does a soldier do, he follows orders

​@@DaGamer2344scorch is in the show

@@tavish4699 a majority of commandos thought order 66 was a seperatist trick

Chips were apart of the canon lore so it’s annoying and ridiculous to see so many free, independent clones walking around. It’s even lazier writing to ignore previously established conventions in favor of a more “morally grey” storyline. Moral grayness and complexity can be good but it does not always translate to being a good story.

While I don’t agree with you about not having chips at all but I do agree that it’s kinda dumb how the chips are really only used to make them obedient to take out the Jedi and that’s really it.

I agree completely. The tragedy of the clones is lost, the moral dilemma of a good soldier vs a good person…the point in Legends was an allegory for WWII and military indoctrination as a whole. By making the chips a thing, they ruined half the tragedy of Order 66 that the show itself was supposed to be building towards. Having clones choose to execute the Order and live with the guilt was always more interesting and had more story telling potential than the huge plot hole that was the chips.

@@warlordofbritannia people forget just how much of a tragedy, and how scary, reality is. I’ve had people argue that it’s hypocritical to argue against the chips because the argument goes; chips = mind control but no chips = mind control through conditioning so it’s all kind control anyways!! checkmate!! But those people fail to recognize that there’s still room for choice to be made at an individual level without the chips. You said it yourself; good soldier vs good person. The chips remove all agency and all chances. You don’t lose necessarily lose it all with mental conditioning. There’s still a chance to come back.

@@TheOnlyAdamal123 Sidenote, but it’s writing decisions like this that really make Filoni the successor to George, for both good and ill. They’re both idea guys with a tendency to constantly retcon and stumble on the details. With George, he sucked at writing dialogue and directing actors and contracted tunnel vision at other times, failing to recognize that what made sense to him wouldn’t work the same to the audience. Dave on the other hand fails to think through many of his creative decisions, only to realize he made a mistake years later.

Yeah

Lego did sw dirty

The Commandos are training the first generation of Stormtroopers. They also guard top-secret, susceptible areas and operate in high-value missions. They are this era’s counterpart to the Death Trooper and Dark Trooper.

fan service

I don't think it matters now since the clones are developing stronger morals

​@@skywolfx76its gives a clone independent rational think

The chip already serves it purposes and burnt out once order 66 was executed

Wolffe never killed plo it was a wolf pack pilot that killed him.

@@evildrporkchop4628you’re both wrong , he was killed by a pilot from an entirely separate gunship wing …. Plo wasn’t killed by the wolf pack

@@tanishdesai3884 yeah I looked it up to make sure plo wasn't even with the wolf pack XD makes you wonder where they were, he was with the 442nd siege battalion.

@@evildrporkchop4628he was killed by captain jag

@@swooshie4749 this I know I however thought jag was part often he Wolfpack but turns out he wasn't

Captain*

Wrex got demoted in rank by Jesse during CW episode victory and death, leaving him a captain once more.

@@AzureMckay threaten to demote verbally, but all of those in board would have gotten killed including Jesse before the proposed demotion would have been filed and made official. So according to official record, Commander Rex would have died with the crew on a crashed venator. Still a Commander all thanks to good timing.

@@alexloponte7056 commander, watch the last season of clone wars. (Was threatened not officially demoted, all involved died in a crash)

The chip seems to wear off after a time, and seems to have been a one use thing.

@@themeddite2935 Yeah because Filoni probably wants to retcon his mistake. Like all star wars shows now are basically "how is it possible that Palpatine returned". I like Filoni, love Clone Wars and the Bad Batch, but I really disliked the chip. Clones obeying orders without question made things more interesting. Those who disobeyed became extraordinary. Having them "remove the chip" to disobey or "defected" is just silly.

The chip was dumb, it was always dumb. I always preferred the reasoning from the Republic Commando books, which was simply that Palpatine made it look like the Jedi attempted a coup, which Order 66 was a contingency for, and that most clones went along with the order not just because they were following orders, but also because most (not all but most) Jedi treated them like expendable pawns to begin with, and weren't the best generals to boot. The few that were treated well by their Jedi generals deserted or at the very least went around the orders to help those Jedi escape, and meanwhile other people deserted for other reasons, like just knowing the whole thing was bogus, or in the case of Delta and the commandos Kal Skirata trained already having plans to desert and try and live a normal life instead of just living their whole life as a tool for the republic (or empire).
