9 Star Wars Questions Not Even Fans Know The Answer To

9. Is Captain Rex The Soldier In Return Of The Jedi?

By the time the Star Wars Rebels animated show had reached its end, it had been all but confirmed that the bearded rebel viewers saw fighting against the Empire on Endor in Episode VI - Return of the Jedi was actually none other than Captain Rex.

They boasted the same facial hair and costume, and it was even said that Rex ended up fighting in that aforementioned Battle of Endor in the show's series finale. It had to him, right?

Well, despite Dave Filoni feeling it would be cool to sneak the beloved clone into the classic movies (via SlashFilm), the creator of the animated show ultimately decided not to officially make Rex a part of the original trilogy. Instead, he left it up to the audience to decide whether Rex was actually Nik Sant (the name of that rebel) or not (via IGN).

So, in other words, there's no official answer when it comes to whether or not Rex was the person seen fighting alongside Han Solo, Leia Organa, and Chewbacca on the forest moon - all we know for sure is that he was there.
