It's what he was cloned and trained for. ;-)

I don't think Rexy old boy is the quiet, reserved, retiring type.

Dave filloni can go **** himself

Alpha > Rex

Indeed. Nothing for nothing, how can one explain the growth acceleration allowing a clone to live long enough to see the battle of Endor? The last living clone we see in the old canon was Able and even he took more of command roll than a combat roll in the rebellion and I don't remember seeing much of him after he joined

While I'm neutral to this fan theory(And that's all it is: A fan theory, that someone mentioned to Filoni and he said it sounded cool. Not at all a confirmation of canon inclusion), I'll just note that the acceleration was only double that of normal human growth. Does this make it plausible? Math time!

Lets assume Rex was 10(Physically 20) at the start of the Clone Wars. I know all the Clones look older, but the army was only created 10 years prior to Ep2 if I recall correctly.

If I remember the dates right:
Ep2-3 is 3 years.
Ep3-4 is 19 years.
Ep4-5 is 5 years.
Ep5-6 is 1 year.

So if Ep2 to Ep6 is 38 years, plus 10 for Rex's assumed age in Ep2, he comes out to 96 human years(Give or take a few) by the time of Return of the Jedi. It does seem... unlikely, though with Star Wars technology, not impossible, that he'd still be active.

So I dug out my Republic commando novels because I know for a fact it states the chronological and biological ages of the characters and I was going to use that info to back up my argument but your assumption on the ages is correct. their chronological age at the beginning of the war was ten their biological age was in their early twenties.

Even so, the point remains, assuming the growth acceleration rate is the same as in the old canon, and assuming Rex is a first generation kamino clone (which I think he is because in the new canon TCW takes place right after Geonosis which still makes no sense to me but whatever) he'd be way too old to fight. By A New Hope, most of the Kamino Fett clones had died off and the Empire was using Spaarti clones and enlisted men for their stormtrooper.

Lets say, Rex is alive by then, he'd be way to decrepit to do any fighting unless he were a force user.

even having him in rebels is a stretch, Dave filloni just wants rebels to be TCW 2 because **** us if we haven't had enough of that ******** shoved down our throats since 2008

Yeah, it's definitely a stretch. The only way they could make it work is if they had some kind of technology keeping him alive(i.e make him a cyborg), or establish that clone aging had unpredictable results once they reached senior years - the reason that wouldn't have come up before is that, in current canon anyway, we haven't seen any clones reach that age. I'm not saying they <i>should</i> do that, only that they <i>could</i>.

That said, I'm expecting Rex to die in Rebels season 4. Possibly 3 I suppose, but 4 sounds more likely to me.

Why on earth would the Rebellion waste thousands of credits keeping a relic from the clone wars alive with cyborg technology?

I'll tell you why, because nobody can die in these stupid cartoons. For real, Maul is still alive, Mace Windu is still alive, a bunch of clone commanders are still alive, ahsoka is still alive, Ventress is still alive. Its like every death in the entire bloody prequel trilogy meant nothing. Its just bad story telling. Why anybody likes TCW or Rebels has been perplexing me for years.

All Dave Filloni does is bank on familiarity and Star Wars fans these days just throw their money at anything with the star wars logo haphazardly slapped on it. Nobody cares about the story anymore and its just sad.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you haven't actually seen the shows. The only movie character either show resurrected from the dead was Darth Maul. Mace Windu is still dead, as are all the other killed Jedi from the prequels, so I don't know where that came from. Ventress was slated to die in Season 6, which Disney cancelled, but a book was made about it, so for all intents and purposes, she also died.

Really, the thing that surprised me most about TCW once I begrudgingly got around to watching it, was just how willing they were to kill characters. Even counting each character in the Order 66 montage from Ep3, I'd guess that TCW had a higher body count of actual characters than all the prequels combined.

You're free to dislike the shows, but claiming no one can die in them is simply false.

I suffered through five seasons of TCW, what I knew of Mace Windu was from promo images of Rebels before it aired. I only watched 3 minutes of rebels before I could stand no more.

What I hate more is when people defend these shows and say its a more mature and superior storytelling to the books and comics.
