Captain Rex Quotes

Commander Rex: Something on your mind?

Ahsoka Tano: As a Jedi, we were trained to be keepers of the peace, not soldiers. But all I’ve been since I was a Padawan is a soldier.

Commander Rex: Well, I’ve known no other way. Gives us clones all a mixed feeling about the war. Many people wish it never happened. But without it, we clones wouldn’t exist.

Ahsoka Tano: Well, then perhaps some good has come from all of it. The Republic couldn’t have asked for better soldiers, nor I a better friend.

Captain Rex: Turn around and step toward the wall. On your knees.

General Krell (chuckls): You’re in a position of power now. How does it feel?

Captain Rex: I said, on your knees.

General Krell: It feels good, doesn’t it? But I can sense your fear. You’re shaking, aren’t you? What are you waiting for? The Umbarans are getting closer.

Captain Rex: I have to do this.

General Krell: You can’t do it, can you? Eventually, you’ll have to do the right thing…

(Dogma shoots him instead of Rex)

Dogma: I… I had to. He betrayed us.

Captain Rex: Why, General? Why kill your own men?

General Krell (chuckls): Because I can. Because you fell for it. Because you’re inferior.

Captain Rex: But you’re a Jedi! How could you?

General Krell: A Jedi? (laughs) I’m no longer naive enough to be a Jedi. A new power is rising, I’ve foreseen it. The Jedi are going to lose this war, and the Republic will be ripped apart from the inside. In its place is going to rise a new order, and I will rule as part of it.

Captain Rex: You’re a Separatist!

General Krell: I serve no one’s side, only my own. And soon, my new master.

Captain Rex: You’re an agent of Dooku.

General Krell: Not yet, but when I get out of here, I will be. After I’ve succeeded in driving the Republic from Umbara, the Count will reward my actions and make me his new apprentice.

Captain Rex: Tell me who gave you the orders to attack us.

Waxer: It… It was General Krell. He sent us to these coordinates to stop the enemy. We thought they were wearing our armor, but it was… You.

Captain Rex (to the Clones): We all know who’s responsible for what happened out there. What we don’t know, is why. Something has to be done. What I’m proposing is highly treasonous. If any man chooses to opt out, do it now. (The Clones take one step forward) From this point forward, we are entering uncharted territory. My orders are, we arrest General Krell for treason against the Republic.

Jesse: Never thought we’d go out this way.

Dogma: Aim.

Fives: Wait! This is wrong and we all know it! The general is making a mistake, and he needs to be called on it. No clone should have to go out this way! We’re loyal soldiers! We follow orders, but we are not a bunch of unthinking droids! We are men! We must be trusted to make the right decisions! Especially when the orders we are given are wrong!

Dogma: Fire!

(The Clones intentionally miss)

Dogma: What… What happened?

(The Clones drop their blasters)

Captain Rex: They’re doing the right thing, Dogma. Because if this is how soldiers are rewarded for heroic actions, then one day, every man in this battalion may face a similar fate. Take off their binders.

Dogma: No! We have orders! We have to go through with this!

Captain Rex: Good luck finding anyone to do it.

Fives: This is about more than just following orders.

Captain Rex: It is. It is about honor.

Fives: Where is the honor in marching blindly to our deaths?

Captain Rex: It is not our call. We are part of something larger. We’re not independent of one another.

Fives: I’m sorry. I cannot just follow orders when I know they’re wrong. Especially when lives are at stake.

Captain Rex: You will if you support the system we fight for.

Fives: I do support it. I do! But I am not just another number! None of us are!
