Around 21 BBY , Flash and several other clone troopers assisted Jedi General Anakin Skywalker in evacuating the " Venator " - class Star Destroyer " Liberty " after it was attacked by Confederacy of Independent Systems forces over the planet Quell . They rescued Jedi General Aayla Secura and Commander CC - 5052 , evacuating the ship aboard a " Consular " - class cruiser . During the escape , the cruiser suffered damage , causing the hyperdrive to activate and subsequently crash the ship on the planet Maridun . On the surface , Flash — along with fellow clones Cameron and Lucky — were killed by mastiff phalones , predators native to the world . Biography . " Flash " was the nickname of a clone trooper , bred on the planet Kamino using DNA from the bounty hunter Jango Fett to serve the Galactic Republic . Around 21 BBY , during the Clone Wars against the Confederacy of Independent Systems , Flash was aboard the " Venator " - class Star Destroyer " Resolute " , flagship of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker . The " Resolute " answered a distress signal from the " Liberty " , which was commanded by Jedi General Aayla Secura . On Skywalker ' s order , the " Resolute " jumped to the planet Quell , where Secura ' s fleet of three " Venator " - class Star Destroyers were engaged with a Separatist force consisting of four " Munificent " - class star frigates . The tactical droid in command of the Separatist flotilla ordered rocket pack – equipped B2 - RP battle droids to board the " Liberty " . With the " Liberty " heavily damaged and listing in Quell ' s atmosphere , Skywalker led his troops to Secura ' s vessel in LAAT / i gunships to evacuate the ship . Flash , along with fellow clone troopers Cameron and Lucky , rode in Skywalker ' s gunship along with the general ' s Padawan , Ahsoka Tano , and Captain CT - 7567 , nicknamed " Rex " . As the battle was raging in Quell ' s upper atmosphere , Skywalker jumped out of the gunship , using the Force to slow his descent . Shortly after , one of the Separatist B2 - RP battle droids disabled the gunship that Flash was traveling in , causing it to crash onto the hull of the " Liberty " . Captain Rex and Tano led Flash and the other troopers into the vessel using a breach in its hull , rendezvousing with General Skywalker . The group subsequently met up with General Secura and her clone commander CC - 5052 , known as " Bly " . Skywalker had arranged for a " Consular " - class cruiser to dock in the " Liberty " ventral hangar , and he led the small group of Jedi and clones to be evacuated , fighting a running battle with B1 and B2 super battle droids as they went . On route to the hangar , an explosion aboard the " Liberty " sent flames and concussive force down the corridors of the cruiser . The wavefront approached the group of Jedi and clones as they were about cross through the gangway to board the evacuation ship ; seeing the danger , Skywalker used the Force to push Flash and the rest of the group through the airlock . As the cruiser ' s blast doors sealed in front and behind him , Skywalker tried to use the Force to contain the approaching blast . He failed , and the resulting impact blew the blast doors apart . Severely injured by flying debris , Skywalker was rescued by Tano and Secura — who had opened the blast doors leading to the rescue ship — just as the cruiser undocked from the " Liberty " hangar . As the " Consular " - class cruiser attempted to dock with the " Resolute " , it came under fire from Separatist Vulture droid starfighters , resulting in its hyperdrive being triggered . The ship executed a blind jump , and ended up crashing onto the planet Maridun . Flash survived the crash - landing , and assisted the other survivors — Secura , Tano , Rex , Bly , Cameron and Lucky — in erecting a temporary camp and shelter to care for the injured Skywalker . Commander Bly discovered a small engraving on a stone table that indicated that the planet held intelligent life near the campsite , and Secura was determined to locate them as Skywalker ' s condition was worsening and they needed medical aid to treat him . Leaving Rex to watch over Skywalker , Secura led the remaining clone troopers and Tano in search of the natives . During their search , the group came across a giant tree with large seedpods hanging from it . Some of the seedpods detached from the tree , causing the clones underneath it to scatter to avoid being crushed to death . Secura noted that tracks from the tree indicated that an intelligent species had dragged several of the seedpods away , and ordered the group to follow the trail . After night fell , Flash , along with the rest of the group , entered a small clearing surrounded by long grass , where they were ambushed by three mastiff phalones , predators native to the planet . One beast caught Lucky in his midsection , tossing him high into the air , while another attacked Flash , jumping on him and using its powerful jaws to bite his neck through the gap in his armor . Although Bly managed to kill the predator with his blaster pistol , Flash was already dead . The third creature killed Cameron , then tossed the corpse at Bly before retreating . Bly confirmed their deaths to Secura and Tano before the three left the bodies of the dead clones behind in the clearing to continue their search . Secura , Tano and Bly eventually found a colony of Lurmen living on the planet who treated Skywalker ' s injuries . Personality and traits . As a clone of Jango Fett , Flash stood 1 . 83 meters tall . He was equipped with Phase I clone trooper armor , and his helmet was mounted with two flashlights , one on either side . He wielded a DC - 15S . Behind the scenes . Flash was introduced in " Jedi Crash " , the thirteenth episode of " " . He was killed in the same episode . In the subtitles for " Jedi Crash " , Flash ' s name is misspelled as " Flesh " . Flash is never specifically identified on - screen during " Jedi Crash " , and is one of three generic clone troopers present in the episode . While the three clone troopers are only referred to by name on Maridun after the crash of the " Consular " - class cruiser , three clone troopers are seen to be accompanying Skywalker , Tano and Rex on the LAAT gunship they use to board the " Liberty " . The troopers are present with Rex in all subsequent scenes . Flash ' s name is only mentioned after he is killed by a mastiff phalone , and his corpse is not specifically identified . This article assumes that Flash and his compatriots were the clone troopers accompanying Rex during the battle . In addition , this article also assumes that the order in which Bly looks at the bodies and mentions the trooper ' s names indicates that Flash was the clone killed by the mastiff phalone which Bly killed during the ambush .
