However, because of the accelerated aging clones go through, Rex would be extremely old. Rex has the potential to appear in the Ahsoka show, as he is closely linked with Ahsoka already. Cody would lose a compelling death, and Rex would lose a compelling story.
Did Cody stay loyal to the Empire? Did he participate in any major battles, or was he in some other corner of the galaxy? These questions represent an uninteresting lore exercise, and yet would need filling in. Instead, questions about what Cody was doing during the events of the original trilogy would be raised, and they would be difficult to answer. This is lost if Cody survives past Return of the Jedi, which is the likely time period for Morrison to play him in. What would make this even more impactful is if Rex was forced to kill Cody, finishing a tragic story between two brothers. An arc focusing on The Bad Batch and Rex trying and ultimately failing to save Cody would be very compelling. Cody appearing in The Bad Batch could be used to explore what it means to be a clone under the Empire. Having Cody appear post Return of the Jedi makes very little narrative sense. Seeing what this looks like in a show centred about what happened to the clones immediately after Order 66 makes more sense, especially as Cody shares links to the main characters. Cody was last seen following Order 66 in Revenge of the Sith, which means that he stayed loyal with the Empire. Star Wars’ latest animation project, The Bad Batch, is a much better place to explore what happened to both Cody and Rex. While fans are understandably excited, this wouldn’t be as good as fans might think.įirstly, their stories can be better served in animation. Temuera Morrison, the actor most known for playing Jango and Boba Fett, recently excited Star Wars fans everywhere by saying in an interview with the Washington Post that he would be open to playing beloved Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith characters Clone Captain Rex and Clone Commander Cody.
