Star Wars: 10 Classic Characters Returning To TV
4. Captain Rex
If you've not watched either The Clone Wars or Star Wars Rebels, there's a chance you won't even know who Captain Rex is, never mind consider him a "classic" character.
Rest assured that's a title he deserves because throughout the course of both shows, this Clone has been established as one of the bravest heroes in this Galaxy Far, Far Away.
He was even retconned into Return of the Jedi as one of the Rebels fighting on Endor (look out for the one with the white beard), and Temuera Morrison is said to be pulling double duty in The Mandalorian season two playing both Rex and Boba Fett.
A meeting between those two would be, quite frankly, insane. Even if that doesn't happen, Rex joining Ahsoka and Sabine makes perfect sense, especially as he's been a loyal ally to the former for decades. Their relationship was the emotional backbone of those final episodes of The Clone Wars, and nowhere near a big enough part of Rebels as some fans might have liked. This live-action debut can change that.
