Personality[]
Rex greatly admired his leaders, such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano, all of whom he had worked closely with. He was loyal to the Galactic Republic, Jedi, brothers, and friends and loved them all dearly. He had a photograph taken of him, Cody, Fives, and Echo and treasured it for many years. He was especially close with ARC trooper Jesse, Hardcase, and Tup. Due to the removal of his clone command chip courtesy of Ahsoka, Rex was one of the few who remained loyal to what was left of the Republic and the Jedi Order.
He later grew close with Jedi Padawan Ezra Bridger, becoming a mentor towards the boy and helped inspire him during their first encounter. However, Rex was often in conflict with Bridger's master, Kanan Jarrus, and the two often fought on how Ezra should be trained. However, after saving Ezra and Jun Sato during a mission, Rex and Kanan finally acknowledged each other as firends.
It is also shown that Rex was still haunted by the war, which only heightened when he encountered General Kalani (who was previously involved in the battle of Onderon against Rex). The war is what later caused him to snap at Ezra for delaying his attack on the catwalk. However, it takes Ezra to show how wrong both sides are and that the only true victor for the clone Wars was the Empire. Rex acknowledged his mistake and saw that Ezra was right: they were both programmed to lose, and that they just needed to hear that
