2. Captain Rex

Captain Rex is without a doubt the best clone in the show, and one of the best characters in the entire canon.

It could have been easy to dismiss him since he looks and sounds like all his brothers, but Rex's loyalty, strategic capabilities and focus on honour and integrity sets him apart from the other trooper wonderfully. Plus, his armour is just too cool.

Some of his greatest moments - of which there are many - include leading his men against Pong Krell on Umbara, becoming close friends with Anakin and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, and his journey into realising the futility of war.

Although still quite fresh, watching him turn during the execution of Order 66 is absolutely soul destroying despite the fact that everyone knew it was coming. He could have been a character easily lost amongst the vast array of personalities in the series, but thanks to some phenomenal writing and voice work from Dee Bradley Baker, Rex stands heads and shoulder above his brothers and many characters in the canon.
