                                                                          and not knowing where these characters ended up, it

                                                                          doing, what happened to them.
                                                                          Rex and Ahsoka have quite a history. What kind of

                                                                          They have a bond like family. They really spent so much
                                                                          time side-by-side fi ghting in Clone Wars. I think Ahsoka
                                                                          has such a special bond with Rex because he was kind of
                                                                          like a mentor in a way, along with Anakin—even though
                                                                          she said in the show, “So, if you are a captain and I’m a
                                                                          Jedi, then technically I outrank you, right?” Rex quickly
                                                                          put her in her place and said, “Well, experience outranks
                                                                          everything,” and I think she respected him from day one
                                                                          for that and admired that she had to earn his respect.
                                                                          I think along with Anakin and the rest of the gang, it’s

                                                                          happened between them after she walked away from the

                                                                          they’ve been doing since.
