Star Wars has set up a possible return for fan-favorite clone trooper Captain Rex in the Mandalorian era, which could see him reunited with Jedi Ahsoka Tano. Rex and Ahsoka really are one of Star Wars Best Duos. Still fighting side-by-side during Star Wars: The Clone WarsThey reunited Star Wars Rebels. Ahsoka has since returned to the Star Wars Timeline in The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba FettAnd AhsokaBut Rex didn’t. Audiences are eager to see Rex and Ahsoka reunite, and Star Wars Just dropped a major hint that reunion could be coming.
In the brand new canon Star Wars book, Star Wars: The Secrets of the Clone TroopersWritten by Marc Sumerak, Captain Rex muses on his future in the wake of the fall of the Empire. The text says:
“The war against the Empire may be over, but a good soldier knows there is still a lot of work to be done after the last shots are fired. My rebel friends and I are still picking up the piecesBut as far as we can tell, Palpatine is gone for good and the galaxy is finally free.”
Although ambiguous, the line suggests that Rex stayed in touch with the friends he made and worked alongside during the Rebellion – among them, Ezra Bridger, Hera Syndulla and Ahsoka Tano.

What Captain Rex’s return would mean for Star Wars
Captain Rex is one of Star Wars Best characters, even when compared to some of the franchise’s greatest Jedi and Sith, and His return would no doubt be greatly celebrated For that reason. The clone troopers have become increasingly important to Star Wars Movies and TV shows. After being introduced into Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones And become the executioners of the Jedi in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the SithThe clones are fleshed out considerably The Clone Wars, RebelsAnd Star Wars: The Bad Batch.

Bring Rex back to Star Wars Would be the perfect way to continue the story into a new era. The clone arc effectively ‘ended’ with The bad batchBut that doesn’t mean the clones simply went away after the show concluded. Rex was clearly still alive even after the Empire fell, and he was never the type to really sit around. His intentions are also clear; He wants to help the galaxy rebuild after the empire. This would not only continue the story of one of Star Wars Most beloved characters but also reveal where the clones are now.
Our take on whether Captain Rex should return
I, like many Star Wars Fans, I am very eager to see Rex’s return. Ahsoka Already teased this by finally introducing live-action Captain Rex in a flashback sequence when Ahsoka was in the world between worlds. This appearance has me so much more excited about the possibility of a full arc for Rex in live action, which could happen in any Ahsoka Season 2 or even The Mandalorian & Grogu. The relationship between Rex and Ahsoka is also one that I would like to see again.

In many ways, Rex and Ahsoka have the same trauma. They were both dear friends of Anakin Skywalker, and they were both attacked and nearly killed in Order 66, only to see all of their clone comrades die in the tragic event. Ahsoka and Rex therefore understand each other in a very unique way, and it would be wonderful for both of them to have one more reunion. Hopefully, this is more than just a hint, and Star Wars Will truly reunite Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex soon.
