The character Rex, who is a Clone Captain and one of the central characters of the animated television series “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” does indeed appear in the Disney+ series “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” However, it is important to note that Rex’s appearance in “Obi-Wan Kenobi” has not yet been confirmed by the show’s creators or any official sources, as the series is still in production and has not yet been released.
That being said, there have been a number of reports and rumors suggesting that Rex will appear in “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” The most notable of these came in late 2020, when it was reported that Temuera Morrison, the actor who played the Clone Troopers and the bounty hunter Boba Fett in the original “Star Wars” trilogy, would be reprising his role as Boba Fett in “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” This led many fans to speculate that Morrison might also be playing Rex, as he provided the voice and motion capture for the character in “The Clone Wars.”
Since then, there have been a number of additional reports and rumors suggesting that Rex will indeed appear in “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” with some even claiming that Morrison has been spotted on set wearing Rex’s distinctive helmet. However, none of these reports have been officially confirmed by Disney or Lucasfilm, and it is possible that they are simply speculation based on Morrison’s involvement in the series.
Assuming that Rex does appear in “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” it is unclear what role he will play in the story. The series is set 10 years after the events of “Revenge of the Sith,” and will follow the adventures of Obi-Wan Kenobi (played by Ewan McGregor) as he navigates the early days of the Empire and tries to protect a young Luke Skywalker from the clutches of the evil Darth Vader.
It is possible that Rex could play a role in this story as a member of the newly-formed Imperial Army, which was largely made up of former Clone Troopers like Rex. Alternatively, he could be working as a mercenary or a bounty hunter, as he was briefly seen doing in “The Clone Wars.” Whatever his role may be, it is sure to be exciting for fans of the character, who has become one of the most beloved and iconic figures in the “Star Wars” franchise.
In conclusion, while it has not been officially confirmed that Rex will appear in “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” there is a great deal of speculation and rumor suggesting that he will. If he does appear in the series, it is unclear what role he will play, but fans are sure to be excited to see one of their favorite characters from “The Clone Wars” make the jump to live-action.
