Soldier of the Republic . Cut Lawquane was the name of a clone trooper who served in the Grand Army of the Republic . Like all clone troopers who were born on the planet Kamino , Lawquane was a clone of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett . In 22 BBY , following the Battle of Geonosis , the first battle of the Clone Wars , Lawquane and a team of clone troopers were on board a transport . Their transport , however , was soon attacked by two Confederate gunships . The gunships loosed all their ordnance into the clone transport , which caused it to crash . Most of Lawquane ' s team was injured or killed in the crash , and the Separatists that were in the two gunships landed and began to search through the wounded and dead . Before the Separatists found Lawquane , the clone trooper ran from the area , knowing that there was no chance of survival if he remained with his comrades . Desertion . Following the crash , the Grand Army of the Republic listed Lawquane as killed or missing in action . However , Lawquane had in fact taken the opportunity to slip away to a quieter life . He met and fell in love with a female Twi ' lek named Suu . The two married , and Lawquane became the adoptive father of Suu ' s two children : a daughter named Shaeeah and a son named Jek . Suu and her children took Cut ' s surname . After he deserted the Republic ' s Grand Army , Lawquane maintained a life with his new family on the planet Saleucami , where the former clone trooper came to repair and claim a farm . Sometime around 21 BBY , Lawquane left the farm to deliver the family ' s first harvest . Although Lawquane wanted to avoid being detected by the Republic , the war came to Saleucami when Republic troops were hunting the Confederacy ' s General Grievous . Following an orbital battle , Grievous and his troops landed on the planet ' s surface in separate escape pods . One of the pods crashed onto Lawquane ' s farmland . Encounter with Rex . When a group of clone troopers arrived at Lawquane ' s farm , they were greeted by Suu . She allowed the clones to use the family ' s barn as shelter for their Captain , CT - 7567 , nicknamed " Rex , " who had been injured when a commando droid shot him with a sniper rifle . Lawquane returned later that night from delivering the harvest to find Rex in his barn . The former clone trooper armed himself with a staff and approached Rex , who was apparently unconscious on a flatbed . When the clone captain awoke and attempted to fire his hand blaster at Lawquane , the former clone trooper disarmed him , pointing the staff warily at Rex ' s neck . After Lawquane began to question why Rex was in his barn , Rex , having noticed Lawquane ' s appearance , identified him as a clone . The captain deemed Lawquane a deserter of the Republic and demanded to know his name and number . Lawquane began to debate with Rex , before Suu , Shaeeah , and Jek entered the barn to greet Lawquane . Suu explained to her husband why Rex was in their barn and said he would be staying for the night , which Lawquane happily agreed upon . Lawquane extended to Rex an offer to eat with his family , which the clone captain accepted . Over a meal of roast Nuna , Lawquane began to discuss the principles of what made a good clone trooper with Rex . Rex stood by his beliefs of turning in a deserter of the Grand Army . While Suu and the children remained silent through the meal , the two clones continued to exchange words to one and another . After their meal , Lawquane and Rex began to play a game of dejarik , and started to discuss why Lawquane left the army . The former clone trooper told him the story of his transport crashing after it was shot down by the two Confederate gunships , as well as the life - changing choice he made . Immediately after , Lawquane revealed that while he knew that Rex believed he was a coward , the former clone trooper told the clone captain that he was not . He loved his children and would fight to his last breath to keep them safe from harm . Soon , Shaeeah approached her father and asked if she could play outside with her brother . Lawquane agreed , and the two children went outside and began to play in the field . After finding an abandoned escape pod , Shaeeah accidentally activated the pod , which also awakened a platoon of commando droids . The two children ran from the droids , alerting Lawquane , Suu , and Rex . After Lawquane used his macrobinoculars to identify the droids , he told Suu and the children to hide in the upper floors of their homestead . The former clone trooper maintained a hidden stash of weaponry inside his home and gave Rex a hand blaster . Lawquane began arming himself with a blaster rifle and a carbine . However , when Rex started suggesting their attack strategy , Lawquane ordered the captain to protect his wife and children , as he would be their last line of defense if something happened to Lawquane . After Rex agreed and departed to the upper floors , Lawquane locked the doors leading into the home and turned off the lights . The droids , however , breached the house after blasting through a door . Utilizing his weapons , as well as recalling his former clone trooper training , Lawquane managed to shoot down many of the droids , but the firefight caused damage to the house . A support beam collapsed onto a table , which caused Lawquane to lose his balance and be lodged under the table . The droids walked past the trapped Lawquane and made their way to the upper floor of the house . After being warned by Lawquane of the danger , the clone captain fired at the droids , before the floor beneath him collapsed to the main floor of the house . Lawquane freed himself from the table and joined Rex in the ongoing fight . The droids were soon defeated , and Suu , Shaeeah , and Jek reunited with Lawquane . The following day , Rex began to pack his belongings on an eopie . Lawquane told Rex that he was welcome to stay with his family , although the clone captain denied , having said that his family was elsewhere . Before departing the farm , Rex warmly told the family that he was not going to turn Lawquane in , which allowed the former clone trooper to live in peace with his family . Legacy . Lawquane ' s adopted children survived to adulthood . His story came to the attention of the greater galaxy during the New Republic era with Shaeeah Lawquane ' s publication of her memoir of her childhood on Saleucami , entitled " " .

Memories of the life - changing situation on Geonosis , as well as his squad crashing , haunted him . Lawquane called himself a simple farmer living his own individual life . While Rex deemed Lawquane a deserter of the Republic , Lawquane simply believed he was exercising his reason to not choose to kill for a living . Lawquane believed that clones were individuals ; distinguishing themselves by having a name would make them unique . Lawquane did not support Rex ' s comment when the clone captain told him he had sworn an oath to fight for the Republic ; instead , he stood by his beliefs . A skilled fighter , Lawquane used various combat tactics to fight off the invading commando droids , and even used his old clone trooper training .
