10 Unbelievable Star Wars Facts That Are Somehow True

While it is widely known that one iconic member of the 501st Legion of clone troopers did survive all the way to the end of the Galactic Civil War, as a certain little green legend once put it, "there is another."

In fact, said other, not called Captain Rex, didn't just manage to keep from being blown to bits in both the Clone and Galactic Civil Wars - meaning they survived the prequel and original trilogy. This good soldier made it all the way to the time of the sequels.

The clone medic known as Kix was actually one of the first people to discover the inhibitor chip hidden within every single trooper was part of Chancellor Palpatine's plan to rid the galaxy of the Jedi once and for all. But after learning of this horrifying truth, he was frozen in stasis before the transport he was being carried on was brought down and crash-landed on Ponemah Terminal.

Then, fifty years on from that event, Sidon Ithano - that red bloke seen in Maz Kanata's castle in Episode VII: The Force Awakens - and the rest of his pirate mates unfroze the clone after finding him on that world. From here, he learned of all the madness that had occurred during his long sleep and eventually joined their squad.

Oh, and his armour of choice going forward? A cool as hell blue and red version of the Phase I clone trooper armour, naturally - as seen in the Tales of Villainy: The Crimson Corsair and the Crime Lords of the Barren Rim comic story.
