Captain Rex loses it when Ezra tells him that he would have been a good soldier in the Clone Wars. Surprisingly, Rex says that good soldiers follow orders, even though Rex contradicts this in The Umbara arc. Captain Rex clearly has PTSD from The Clone Wars due to losing many of his clone trooper brothers.
I think Rex knows that you shouldn’t follow every order like your a slave, but I think he also knows Ezra is pretty reckless and his “out of the box” thinking is a bit TOO out of the box for the mission, also I imagine Rex’s shoulders and chest must hurt after getting shot there so many times
As a soldier you are supposed to follow orders just not unlawful orders
I bet also going off of all that he remembered how Ezra acted in the beginning of the season treating him with disrespect and Rex wasnt gonna take that again.
He had a jedi like anakin, hes accustomed to out of the box thinking, so you know that if he says youre reckless, youre just reckless
Acting like a child in the middle of a battlefield can cause much issues and unnecessary death there is a time and place for everything and this is not the time nor the place Rex as a military officer understands these things unlawful orders from commanders are one thing carelessness for a well thought out battle plan another
also bit of pstd comes back during the droid misson
I honestly feel bad for Rex, he survived through it all and he watched so many of his brothers and all the Jedi who were his friends die, except Ashoka Tano.
Also except Cody, too, because he still alive.
@@isaacrebellion9893 Up until the events of Bad Batch season 2, but who knows what will happen to him during that time.
@@BladePocok Actually I just hoping he will stay alive and a Hero in The Bad Batch season 2 because we want to see his spin off animated series, which it take place after this.
@@isaacrebellion9893 I strongly doubt Cody will be a hero. Cody seems to be the type to be loyal to the Empire.
AHHHHsoka Tano. Put some respect on the name. *Ah* - soka.
Not Ass-oka 🤦♂️
Seeing Ezra get knocked down a peg for being an impetuous child is so satisfying.
and the fact that he will appear in Ahsoka's series just makes me wonder how Giga Chad he is going to be
@@Koutzin let's not forget, this will be the Ezra that sacrificed himself to get rid of Thrawn, but aged up quiet a few years. We can see a full blown jedi knight
@@sylph4252 I like to imagine him as wise as Qui Gon Jinn, someone who can really become one of the pillars of the "new Jedi order", something Luke tried and failed, but with Rey and the new wave of fallen Jedi it gets harder this happen
@@sylph4252 maybe him and thrawn will be sort of frenemies during their time spent together in the chaos.
@@TheManBehindTheSlaughter6669 that would be interesting
rex flipped cuz he cares about ezra and didn’t want him to get hurt
He is doing the same thing Anakin did to Ahsoka in the latest tales of the jedi. It's tough love and a reality check. Rex does indeed care a lot about Ezra though.
@@Drlong1Those aren’t the only ones he knows but they are the only ones he is in contact with.
It's a shame the audience doesn't feel the same compassion for Ezra.
True. And he was being pretty reckless. He’s not Anakin who was skilled and experienced enough to get away with things like that.
It’s because Rebels is badly written.
The thing was ezra calling himself a good soldier. That is what made him snap. Ezra gave no reasonable excuse to deviate from a time critical action. Ezra wasn't there yet to be able to deviate from the mission and be considered in good judgement and instead jeopardized the whole thing.
He was essentially turning the Clone Wars into a game
@@rosesweetcharlotte yea, he never experienced the clone wars and only ever experienced the empire so he doesn’t care about the clone wars and only thinks that the empire is bad.
Battles leave scars. Some you can't see.
Kanan 🐐
To be fair to Rex, there is a context to what he's saying. Following the plan and blindly listening to superiors is not the same thing, but are often conflated as "follow orders." You can jeopardise your teammates by not following the plan.
Rex is telling Ezra to find Fives.
Well Fives is dead so if so he is telling Ezra to find corpse
Kix?
@@Molten_Freddy. It's not first time he wanted somebody to do it...
Here I am
@@Righteous_Team kix was frozen for 50 years and joined some pirates
Rex is probably the only one that got shot more then one time gets choked and still alive even after order 66
It's called plot armor lol. The blaster shot to the head was kind of ridiculous, no other clone would have survived that.
@@kilo5869the blaster and its ammo might of been weakened from age? That's what I thought anyway also in realise people have survived headshots to the helmet it's rare but can happen
@@kilo5869 Hes helmet front plate is phase 1 menaing it is much more thicker and denser.
It's true that there are some orders you can disobey for a greater good but there is also orders you need to follow no matter what here Rex told Ezra what he needed to hear because in a war or any conflict you can't be impulsive even if you are a Jedi
Very true. This was an important lesson for Ezrah to learn.
Following orders is different than taking the initiative or applying strategy and tactics. Which is y he told Ahsoka "Experience outranks everything." And Ezra does NOT have that.
Plus, this mission was nothing like the worst of the Clone Wars and yet Ezra was treating it like it wasn't a huge deal
Rex is usually a very calm individual even when angry so you know someone had to mess up like Ezra did for Rex to lose it like that
As Kanan sort of follows with I think Rex was having a sort of panic attack here. Getting ptsd from the war and shit.
also doesn't help how ezra's acting kinda like a hardcase here...and we all know what happened to clones who act like hardcase...
@@DIGITALGH05T Hardcase was a badass. Trigger happy, but he was a clone who would watch your back.
Mind you when someone goes into PTSD it's like a song stuck in your head and unless you finish it it's just gonna keep on coming I don't think he ever dealt with the loss of... everyone and at that moment I think that he realizes that he truly is alone that all of his brothers were dead, (Except for Gregor and wolf) and I mean like he is fair because if we look at the lightsaber battles from the firsts movie and the last it shows how much of there lightsaber arts were lost, and I just went off on a very long tangent.
I mean, it is sort of insane when you watch an episode of TCW and realize that all of the characters on screen, Rex is the only one who survives into the OT or past it.
Rex: Good soldiers follow orders!
Kanan: Wait, I've seen this one before.
Kanan: *Ignites lightsaber in PTSD*
0:01 Something about his helmet triggers the hell out of me. His helmet is supposed to be slick and thin unlike this one here. His helmet is clearly bigger than Ezra by like a lot lol
'A good soldier follows orders' Now where have I heard that before? I love that the droids have their own version now 'Orders are Orders'.
Poor Rex lost his brothers cause of order 66
A good soldier follows orders. A good man can think for himself, and consider the good of others.
A droid follows commands, a soldier chooses discipline and honor.
0:38 the scary thing is that he sounded like Krell there
Reminds me of when Kix told him that
@@rosesweetcharlotte Maybe I just don't remember, but do you mean Jesse in season 7?
@@smeagol-bp3wr It was during Umbara when Kix was trying to save injured clones and Rex told him to stop because it was endangering him. Kix, being the medic, was extremely important, so it did make strategic sense to hang back, bit Kix was determined to save as many brothers as he could.
@@rosesweetcharlotte Yeah that's the scene I immediately thought of, but I thought you were saying he said the line "good soldiers follow orders" which I don't remember him saying in that scene
I think a good soldier follows orders, but also questions them.
he almost grew a new inhibitor chip there
Rex: Good soldiers follow orders! Us: :D
Crosshair (or another clone): Good soldiers follow orders. Us: >:C
good soldiers follow orders, what Rex meant is that you need to learn when is time to take action in your hand and go against the order and when you need o follow the order, 80% of the times you follow the order but critical thinking under pression might save your live if something dosean't go as planned
Damn Umbara is peak
When he said a good soldier follows orders
i think rex said this because he never truly recovered from his life in the clone wars, and in this moment they were being subjected to what, in reality, is the last battle of the clone wars, bringing all the ptsd to the forefront of rex's mind stressing him out
Maybe, but I think it's actually pretty simple, in this situation Rex and 2nd Kannan are the most experienced here. Especially against Battle Droids they fought many times in the Clone Wars, to Rex Ezra may be a Jedi, but he's inexperienced, so he's telling Ezra not to just blindly run in, he's simply telling Ezra to follow Rex's orders so Ezra will survive this.
@@TheZamaron that’s a really good point but “good soldiers follow orders” is such a heavy statement for clones, especially one like Rex who witnessed tups betrayal and fives descent. Not to mention all his brothers that died on the venator
@@a_dead786 Yah, good point.
Yeah, I'm not entirely sure Rex is even aware of what is happening in this scene. He's stuck in the past.
Every single time I rewatch *that* scene in Landing at Point Rain, I can't help but think, "Is it any wonder the poor man has PTSD later?"
I'd boil it down to him having to settle for less in his teams. He went from the 501st, side by side with some of the best the Republic had, led by Anakin, to whatever the Rebellion and Galaxy can offer in different circumstances.
Remember he had Anikan for a General. So if he is snapping at someone then they seriously screwed up and Ezra needed to hear it.
When people say that rex lost many brothers, are they talking about named clone troopers only or named clone troopers and unnamed clone troopers?
Both Rex cared about all of his brothers
Both. He means the ones he served with and the ones he didn't because he cared about all of them. And now he's more or less alone.
I think that he means “good soldiers follow orders” in the context of time sensitive missions because if one part of the operation is even a single second off before or after a given point it could mean the capture and/or death of your whole team.
I think this all ties into how you sort of grow old and forget certain things about how you used to do things and how you used to think
Following everything Rex had to endure, he certainly had to prioritize personal survival over his team leadership skills
Hence why he grew to forget everything he lived to uphold
He is right though. You shouldn't blindly follow orders but disobeying orders can sometimes endanger your comrades and the mission.
The moment he said, A good Soldier Follows orders.
The implications, the meaning, the number of dead jedi because of that 1 line...
It is a part of him, sadly.
Rex having his PTSD moment ..
"But Chopper wanted to show me" Ezra this is the part where you shut your mouth
I also feel bad for Rex because he also wants to protect Ezra as well as his master
Keep in mind Rex fought under Anakin's orders and he did some reckless out the box stuff... And even then Ezra was too much for him LMAO
Good soldiers fallow orders is the most haunting line from any clone
Huh that's why Captain Rex is actually my favorite clone trooper at least he puts people in line
A good soldier follows good orders.
I think Rex was going throw some PTSD in this episode. Flashbacks of a war that costed the lives of many of his brothers. What’s cool though is that in this episode he makes peace with his enemy and closes that chapter of his life for good.
He even has a moment where he mistook Kanan's voice for Cody's.
When his voice got deep it sounded just like Tartarus, scary
Symbolic, the "main character" from the previous show chewing out the main character from this lesser one.
watching rebels for the first time was so nerve wracking. every time rex caught a blast my heart skipped a beat thinking he finally took one in the wrong place.
Poor Rex and his ptsd
Oh I am imagine getting shot like that I actually felt that shot after all Captain Rex's people's favorite characters
Uh Rex wasn't ur Jedi known for disobeying The Council on numerous occasions
Jedi are General's, not soldiers
"These things require violence and timing." -- Captain Price
Rex is my favorite clone trooper in the clone wars series
Ya know for 3 years of straight warfare, he came out pretty lucky.
Could have been Ridge. Guy went from when Ashoka first arrived to getting impaled by Maul on Order 66
Do you think Cody will die in Bad Batch season 2?
Maybe not.
No he won’t die
I really hope not.
I hope not.
No
You know actually how I laughed after that strange voice
I don’t think I realized how many times Rex has been shot
In the episode we see him shirtless, he is covered in different scars. And that was only after maybe 6 or 8 months of TCW.
It's more like a good soldier follows the plan from their tactical mind, yet all those strategy matters emergency situations is that those tactics or strategy is needed.
Rex still followed Orders, but he didn’t follow blindly
Maybe thats how he wanted to honor his brothers. I think otherwise it would be like saying they were no good soldiers
What I like about this scene is that it highlights Rex's experience. Rex was raised and trained to be a soldier at a young age. He knew what it took to be a soldier and survived the whole war through his own skill(and a fair bit of luck). So when Ezra said he was a good soldier, Rex snapped, and rightfully so. Ezra wasn't on the frontlines of the clone war, he never fought in a real battle against literal war droids, and he never once saw almost everyone he cared about die in some way or another, be it on the frontlines of war, or in the wake of order 66. He experienced none of it, but he had the audacity to say he was a good soldier after he almost botched the entire mission and got both Rex and Kanon killed. If I were in Rex's shoes I would've gotten pissed too.
Seeing as how rex progressed through the whole clone wars literally being a gen 1 trooper himself. He has seen a lot and going off what happen on umbara he knows you need to also think about the outcome of the order as well as follow. Granted I am not in the military but I am into military history and I have noticed numerous times when breaking orders can be very good such as going past what you were told to capture and prevent a worse situation were going against orders like Ezra leads to unnecessary death. Such as rex shows numerous times. Though thanks to him being a tactical genius and welding his phase 1 armor to his phase 2 joints for mobility and protection
Following orders is a good thing. When a parent, teacher, captain, or an officer tells you to do something you do it.
the situation is different, in the war almost everyone knew what to do, his clone brothers followed orders well and most had already been learned from birth and he did not get some orthodox jedi monk who had almost no capabilities but did boast of being a jedi and being undisciplined or relaxed, he played with powerful Jedi and especially with one of the most bellicose, that's why in clone wars he says that, while with ezra he is a silly boy, who trusts a lot of his ability or luck thinking that the others will not be affected if he is wrong, it contrasts a lot with the battle style of thinking of the rebels who improvise from start to finish, and the republic that planned and if things got out of hand, improvised
Rex just contrasted himself due to being a cranky old man
Ezra didn't have the chops yet.
Ezra got schooled (deserved)
lol thats a rex rage
There’s a saying I heard and it goes like this a good soldier Follow orders a great soldier follow his orders but knows when to step outside the box to get his orders done Also you remember on top of that Ezra has not proven himself as a soldier or as a warrior he’s new young and reckless compared to Rex his brothers as long as they completed the main Adjective Rex didn’t mind them not following his orders
why does this just make him more human
A good soldier follows good orders
He’s saying not to follow orders you know are wrong, not orders that keep you and those around you alive
Rex's life has been hell, a little inconsistency can be forgiven.
Rex: order are good
and Rex: order are bad
This is what we called good writing.
Even a protagonist who is reckless, arrogant and always got lucky have to face consequences for his errors and inexperience.
Rex really snaps on it
I like how you took every scene of Rex getting shot
Rex has the best Plot armor of any clone
Yeah, but you have to understand that when TCW first premiered, we didn't know that. It was actually really hard for me to connect to Rex at first because I just assumed he was either gonna die or end up shooting Ahsoka during Order 66. It was only after Rebels confirmed that Rex would somehow make it out of this alive that I was able to say he was one of my favorite characters
@@rosesweetcharlotte well he did end up shooting at Ashoka 😅
Man, some of his put on weight must have gotten transfered into his helmet too. Massive af head
Kanan makes a good point after Rex shits on Ezra, but Ezra’s comment that Rex is just like the droid was uncalled for. Ezra thinks this is all just an easy assignment but doesn’t realize the droids even thought they’re old are still a major threat, kanan knows since he fought in the clone wars but exra believes in the ideology that Jedi even thought they’re nearly extinct are invincible.
Ezra doesn't understand Rex. To him, Rex is just, well, an old vet of the clone wars. Yes, he loves Rex, he values him as another mentor and a friend, but he doesn't know Rex as the Captain of the 501st, of the legend he was.
@@rosesweetcharlotte that’s why I lost a lot of respect for Ezra in that moment, by not following Rex and Kanans directions and orders as he said it required execution and timing, Ezra’s mistake couldve killed them all. So when Rex disciplined him, rather than Ezra admitting to his own fault and understanding the danger of this operation, he spoke out of turn behind Rex’s back, which isn’t a good sign from someone who has no experience in a true war zone such as Rex and kanan were for almost 4 years. Yes they fight the empire all the time but it’s never a true conflict, just mere firefights that end just as quickly as they began.
@@lucasbosier6808 Ezra is still a kid. And he is used to Rex acting much differently
Follow orders until you know the principles and reasoning why those orders are given and then make judgement calls when you need to make your own decisions.
A good soldier does follow orders just not ever order
Honestly though, I don't think this is a plot hole. People often times consciously try to correct their behavior, but fall back into old habits during times of stress or danger. Plus, Ezra does need to learn to take orders if he's gonna be a soldier.
good soliders follows orders: crosshairs
good soldiers follow orders... we sure Ahsoka got the entire inhibitor chip out?
good soldiers follow orders
Love how you show Rebels not understanding what made its Clone Wars characters great
Talk about a retcon
I think rex inhibitor chip still there in his programming since Ahsoka save him from order 66 remove the chip since to effect his own mindset temporary
you be doin rex dirty
Rex is about tough loves
Let's not forget that Rex was clearly shaken up in this episode by seeing the droids again. In a situation like that, you figure it would only be natural for him to fall back on his training, and what he had always been taught, not necessarily what he had grown to realize. Plus there's a difference between blindly obeying stuff like Pong Krell or Order 66, and getting on Ezra's case for being reckless while lives are on the line
Rex is still a good soldier. Pity he was stuck with kids. I can just imagine how effective he'd have been if he was with Rogue Squadron or Delta Squadron.
So did I I feel bad for him just the same after all after all they've been through in the clone wars
0:06 *That plan was based on timings and execution* Rex you might wanna rephrase your word choice.
Seeing as that logic applies to every plan.
Even though the inhibitor chip is a small tumor that barely takes up the brain, seeing everything happen to the clones after the war I think if the chip goes off then gets removed It probably warps the brain a little. Puts a different perspective on things for them
The thing is, good soldiers _do_ follow orders. It’s part of battlefield discipline. Great soldiers know when to disobey immoral or illegal orders.
Can’t believe Rex said the 4 words 👁👄👁
A good soldier indeed follow orders ask that to anyone who has served or better yet to anyone who has commanded the very principle of a soldier is that it has to endure their their duty whether they like it or not. For me Rex is teaching Ezra a good lesson he knows he has to learn to follow order before even questioning.
Captain Rex actually clarifies his views on when a soldier should follow orders in a later episode. I’ve included the link to the clip here if you want the detailed answer: m.ua-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/v-deo.html
he’s had three near deaths
0:22 I noticed it too
0:02 HE SAID THE THING
