CC - 2224 / Legends CC - 2224 , nicknamed " Cody , " was a clone marshal commander assigned to High Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi of the Grand Army of the Republic throughout the Clone Wars . The leader of the 7th Sky Corps , though he typically took personal command of the 212th Attack Battalion , Cody was a loyal and competent soldier who always followed his orders . He was a no - nonsense commander who was very skilled in tactics . Biography . Early life . CC - 2224 began his life as one of countless cloned officers slated for a leadership position in the Grand Army of the Republic . Early on in his career , he showed a flair for independent thought that often drew the always - prying eyes of the Kaminoans . The Kaminoans selected him for special training , where he met CT - 7567 , whom he would later know as Captain Rex . CC - 2224 and CT - 7567 quickly became friends during their training exercises before Cody was moved to the field . The Clone Wars . As leader and commander of the 7th Sky Corps , CC - 2224 was to be paired with a Jedi General . He was pleased to discover that he would be operating under the command of famed Jedi Knight Obi - Wan Kenobi . However , he did not participate in the First Battle of Geonosis . He would later serve under Jedi Master Mace Windu at the Battle of Skor II . In the beginning of the Clone Wars , CC - 2224 was a captain , but when General Kenobi saw his skill , he recommended the trooper for a promotion . CC - 2224 was then made a marshal commander . Additional training . Several months into the Clone Wars , CC - 2224 was temporarily pulled from the fighting in order to be entered into an experimental training regiment , headed by ARC trooper Alpha - 17 , designed to provoke independent thought among the enrolled commanders . As a sign of his new - found independent streak , CC - 2224 took the name " Cody , " and began customizing his armor with equipment previously available only to the ARCs . Cody ' s armor modifications included a small , bullet - shaped jetpack , a secondary comm antenna , a visor on his helmet , a pair of antennae on his helmet , enlarged shoulder pads , and a small stick - like tool in an armband on his upper right arm . Of the hundred commanders put through Alpha - 17 ' s training program , a handful were picked by Alpha - 17 and assigned to Squad Seven , an elite group of cross - trained commandos made up of the Grand Army ' s best snipers , demolition experts , and marines , whose role was to accompany ranking Jedi on any type of mission . For their stellar performances , Commanders Cody and Odd Ball were given control over Squad Seven , though Major Jorir handled its day - to - day operations . Battle of Christophsis . When the Separatists laid siege to a blockaded Christophsis , Generals Obi - Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were dispatched to aid the planet , along with Cody and Captain Rex . Cody helped Kenobi finish off the rest of the blockade after Anakin destroyed Separatist Admiral Trench . After their forces were deployed , evidence was revealed of a traitor among their ranks . After Sergeant Slick was revealed to have sold their intelligence to Asajj Ventress , reinforcements were dispatched by the Republic , and Cody joined Kenobi and Skywalker in defeating the first wave of droids , under the command of General Whorm Loathsom . A second wave of droids charged and then retreated , blocked by the Republic ' s heavy cannons . However , their retreat was revealed to be a ploy , as they soon charged again , but this time behind a deflector shield , making the heavy cannons useless . Skywalker and his newly arrived apprentice Ahsoka Tano managed to sneak behind enemy lines and destroy the shield generator , and the heavy cannons were able to obliterate the exposed droids . Battle of Teth . After the Battle of Christophsis , Cody with the troopers of the 212th Attack Battalion accompanied Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi to Teth to aid Jedi General Skywalker and the troopers of the 501st Legion . Cody coordinated the gunships on " Spirit of the Republic " into an assault on the Teth Monastery . Cody and his troopers quick - roped onto the landing platform to back up Kenobi who had already landed to relieve the remainder of Torrent Company . Cody ' s troops quickly turned the tide of battle . Inspection of the Pastil Post . While completing a series of routine inspections of Republic listening posts , Rex and Cody stopped on Pastil . After Rex learned that a glitching MSE - series droid nicknamed " Rodent " was the source of the station ' s excessive tidiness , he ordered a Code Aurek alert to find and destroy the droid . The clones first thought Rex to be paranoid ; however , after the droid ' s body was destroyed , it was revealed to be a spy as all four wheels ran off independently in an attempt to escape . The first three were eliminated , but as the fourth wheel began to escape into the grate , clone trooper Stripe used a thermal detonator to eliminate the droid . Somewhat amused , Rex ordered the men to " clean the mess up " . Battle of Rishi moon . When Cody and Rex arrived for an inspection of a communications station on the Rishi Moon , they were greeted by a droid commando disguised as a clone trooper . The survivors of the station , Hevy , Echo , and Fives , knew they had to warn them . Hevy fired a droid attack flare , and Rex ' s instincts kicked in , blasting the " clone trooper " in the head . After discovering the commando droid , more droids appeared and ambushed them . The two held them off for a brief moment before the droids threw thermal detonators in their direction . Their shuttle was destroyed in the following explosion , but Rex and Cody managed to jump off the platform and employ ascension cables to safely land . After meeting Hevy , Echo and Fives , Cody and Rex learned that they were the only survivors of the invasion , and led the rookie troopers in an attack to retake the base . Upon destroying the droids and regaining control of the station , the group discovered that the all - clear signal had been hot - wired to keep the Republic unsuspecting of a Separatist fleet , led by General Grievous , intent on destroying Kamino and stopping the Republic ' s production of clones . As droid reinforcements arrived , the clones planned to use multiple explosives and liquid tibanna to destroy the base and stop the all - clear signal , which would alert the Republic to the Separatists ' presence . However , after the remote detonator failed to operate , Hevy sacrificed himself , manually activating the detonator and destroying the station . With the all - clear beacon disabled , the Republic fleet arrived in the system and was able to ward off the Separatists . Third Battle of Kamino . Sometime after the destruction of the Rishi Base , Cody along with Jedi Generals Kenobi , Skywalker , and fellow officer Captain Rex watched a intercepted code hologram between General Grievous and Commander Ventress indicating that they were going to attack Kamino . Cody , along with Rex , were sent with their generals along with the rest of 501st to reinforce General Shaak Ti on Kamino . When Grievous arrived , Cody was overseeing the action with Generals Ti , Kenobi , Prime Minister Lama Su and few other clone officers . Just after Grievous and Ventress assaulted Tipoca City , Cody along with Capt . Rex went to the clone barracks to help troopers Echo , Fives , maintenance clone 99 , and a few clone cadets . Just as the droids were on the move towards the barracks , Cody , Rex and 99 gathered more weapons . As the droids under the command of General Grievous were about to enter the clone barracks , Cody , Rex and the others ambushed them . Cody and Rex then took cover as the droids came in . Cody threw grenades at the droids just as Rex signaled the cadets to open fire from their bunkers . Cody tried to stop 99 from getting more grenades but he was shot by the droids . After they defeated the droids , Cody called 99 a true soldier . Later , Cody and Rex informed Echo and Fives that they had been promoted to ARC Troopers . Battle of Ryloth . Later , the Republic decided to liberate the Twi ' lek inhabitants of the planet Ryloth , who were being oppressed by Techno Union Foreman and Separatist member Wat Tambor . After General Skywalker and his Padawan , Commander Ahsoka Tano , managed to destroy the Separatist blockade surrounding the planet , the invasion forces were able to move in . Aboard an " Acclamator " assault ship , Cody boarded the " Crumb Bomber " with General Kenobi and Ghost Company , and the gunships took off to land in Nabat . Kenobi explained to Ghost Company that they had come to aid the Twi ' leks , not destroy their home , and Cody instructed his men to utilize blasters and droid poppers only . However , after proton cannons from below attacked the " Acclamator " transports above , General Mace Windu tasked Obi - Wan and his men with destroying the cannons so that the transports could land . After destroying the droids in a bunker on the outskirts of the village , Obi - Wan and the clones entered the city and set up a temporary camp . Cody went with Wooley , Waxer and Boil to scout ahead , and after he and Wooley went to investigate the courtyard , they discovered that the Twi ' leks were being held hostage . After Cody reported their findings back to Obi - Wan and Mace , Obi - Wan decided to continue with the plan ; the prisoners would make it difficult , but not impossible . Cody noticed the prolonged absence of Waxer and Boil , and sent a transmission to them before they moved out . Upon reentering the city , the group was attacked by gutkurrs , but Obi - Wan managed to lure the creatures with the Force into an alley . He instructed Cody and his men to fire at a bridge above the entrance to the alley , and the creatures were trapped . After Obi - Wan jumped over the rubble , Cody handed him back his lightsaber . Waxer and Boil them emerged out of an underground tunnel with the young Twi ' lek girl Numa . Cody was initially displeased with their absence , but after he learned of their discovery of the tunnels , he softened up a bit . Cody led a diversion to distract the droids , while Obi - Wan went with Waxer , Boil and Numa through the tunnels to free the Twi ' lek hostages . After everyone was in position , Cody led the attack , and Obi - Wan was able to free the prisoners . After heavy fire from the AATs began to harass them , Cody ordered his men to fall back , and the droids pursued them . However , the tactical droid commander TX - 20 was alerted to the rescue , and after Obi - Wan managed to destroy the proton cannons with the help of Waxer and Boil , the tactical droid ' s tank attacked them . Before TX - 20 could destroy Obi - Wan and Numa , however , the former Twi ' lek prisoners overran the tank and destroyed the droid . Mace and the transports were then able to land , and the Republic forces headed to the capital city of Lessu to retake it and free the planet . Cody and General Kenobi led their forces and took the Jixuan desert , thus securing Ryloth ' s southern hemisphere for the Republic . Battle of Felucia . Shortly after Ryloth , Cody and General Kenobi were dispatched along Skywalker and fellow clone captain Rex to Felucia , to fight Grievous ' s forces in the system . However , they were outnumbered and defeated because of the Separatist ' s vast forces and reinforcements . Kenobi and Skywalker asked for help and Jedi High General Plo Koon commanded a rescue fleet to evacuate the Republic forces on the planet . After evacuating successfully , Cody was sent to Coruscant for a while . Black Stall Station . Cody went with Jedi Masters Obi - Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu and Cad Bane to Bane ' s Black Stall Station to recover the holocron containing the list of Force - sensitive infants . He was told to stay with the ship . While Windu set off the station ' s laser and turret defenses and then retreated with Obi - Wan , he had the ship prepared . The mission proved to be a failure though , because Bane escaped . Second Battle on Geonosis . Separatist Poggle the Lesser set up new droid foundries on Geonosis . Cody ' s gunship made it to Point Rain , the landing zone , where he helped Obi - Wan recover during the battle . He then defended the landing zone until generals Mundi and Skywalker arrived . He kept fighting until the shield generator came down . The group then prepared for the factory assault . Cody went with Anakin Skywalker and Obi - Wan Kenobi to find Poggle and capture him . They tracked him to the Progate Temple , where Luminara Unduli also had tracked him , but been captured by Geonosian zombies . These zombies had been controlled by brain worms that enabled the Queen Karina the Great to keep contact with them even after death . This also made it possible for the drones to continue their attack after being shot or cut by a lightsaber . When Cody , Skywalker , and Kenobi reached the Queen , Cody , together with his men , spread out to ambush Karina the Great and her drones while Kenobi and Skywalker tried to negotiate with the Queen . This , however , failed , and Cody and his troopers killed her while Kenobi and Skywalker rescued Unduli and escaped the collapsing temple , along with Cody . Battle on Saleucami . When Jedi Council Member Eeth Koth was captured by General Grievous Cody , with a squad of his troopers went with Kenobi aboard a light cruiser to distract Grievous while Skywalker , Adi Gallia , Captain Rex , and a small squad of troopers aboard a Jedi shuttle were to rescue Master Koth . Cody and Kenobi were successful in getting Grievous ' s attention . When Grievous ' s command ship locked on to Kenobi ' s ship , Cody and his troopers fought against Grievous ' s commando droids as they boarded the ship . After Grievous ' and Kenobi ' s duel on the Kenobi ' s ship ' s bridge , Grievous fled back to his ship . Cody was able to fire a ascension cable at grievous and then he and his men grabbed Grievous , but Grievous overpowered them . Cody and two of his troopers followed Grievous and Kenobi into the docking tube . When Grievous ' ship destroyed Kenobi ' s ship , Cody lost one of his troopers . Luckily , Master Gallia fired an ascension cable to them and Cody , one of his troopers and Kenobi were able to climb out of the docking tube . After Skywalker picked them up , Admiral Yularen told them that one of Grievous ' s landing ships attempted to land but crashed on Saleucami . Kenobi then decide to take Cody and rex to find grievous . After Kenobi ' s forces landed on Saleucami , they all went to what remained of Grievous ' landing ship . When they got there , Cody looked at the intake valves which were still warm , meaning that the crash didn ' t happen that long ago . Kenobi then decided to split up his forces with Rex searching the wetlands while Kenobi , Cody and Crys continued to investigate the crash site . When one of Cody ' s troopers found a droid , they took it into the AT - TE to look into while continuing their search on the go . Cody was to break the droid ' s access codes , while Crys was able to power up the droid ' s guidance system . With this information , they were able to find the other escape pods , hence picking up Grievous ' s scent . After that Cody and Kenobi found one of the escape pods , but grievous wasn ' t there , so they move on to the next one . When they found the last escape pod , grievous and his droids were there , waiting for a ship . Cody , Kenobi and their force fought Grievous , but once again Grievous escaped , leaving Cody and Kenobi back where they started . Defense of the Coronet . After Kenobi ' s investigation on Mandalore , Cody along with Anakin , Rex , and their troopers were assigned to escort the Duchess Satine aboard the " Coronet " to Coruscant . Later in the " Coronet " ' s cargo hold , Obi - wan briefed their troopers on the importance of the safety of Duchess Satine . After Cody , Rex and their troopers then went on patrol in the cargo hold . When Cody and Rex lost contact with two of their troopers , Rex contacted Kenobi , informing him of the situation . When Skywalker came down there , Cody , Rex and him found a open container . Later when Skywalker was ambushed by an assassin probe Rex , Cody and one of their troopers finished it off . Unfortunately one of the probes made it to the lifts . Then the fallen assassin probe unleashed smaller probe killer . Cody and Rex then stayed close to Skywalker till they destroyed the last probe . After that Cody and Rex went with Skywalker to find the droid in charge of the cargo manifest . When Skywalker told Kenobi that one of the senators with Satine was a traitor , Skywalker returned to the cargo hold to help Cody and Rex find the last probe . When Cody and Rex found one of their trooper ' s helmets one of the smaller probe jumped at them . Fortunately , Skywalker and R2 - D2 destroyed before it killed Cody and Rex . After Rex destroyed the last assassin probe , the traitor Senator Merrik took Satine hostage , and then called for assistance from Death Watch command , who sent three Separatist boarding craft to help him . When they latched on to the " Coronet " , they unloaded Super battle droids . Cody along with Skywalker , Rex , their troopers , and Satine ' s Bodyguards fought against them while Kenobi tried to rescue Satine . After Skywalker stopped and killed Senator Merrik , Cody reported to him that all the droids were destroyed . Rescuing Master Piell . When Master Even Piell was captured , Cody attended Master Plo Koon ' s briefing at the Jedi Temple . Their mission : rescue Master Piell from the impregnable prison , the Citadel , before Piell is force to give up the information on the Nexus Routes . Cody and the rest of the team then went down to the temple ' s hangar . There Cody and the team were frozen in carbonite in order to avoid sensors . When Cody and the team got past Lola Sayu ' s blockade , they were thawed out by Artoo . When Cody , Kenobi , and Skywalker went to look at their way in , they saw that the jet packs and ascension cables were ruled out because of the wind and mines on the cliff ' s face . So Cody and the team had to free climb it . Unfortunately , one of the troopers , Charger fell onto one of the mines while climbing it , alerting the Citadel ' s warden Commander Osi Sobeck to their presence . Cody and the team make their way through the halls of the Citadel , but encountered booby traps which killed another of their troopers , Longshot . Cody and the team then found and saved Master Piell before the interrogator droid takes out his good eye . After Piell told the team that his Captain has the other half of the Nexus Route , Cody and the team then make their way down to where he is being held . Cody and the team then ran into commando droids . Cody and the team were able to deal with the first of the commando droids . Sobeck then activated magnets in the ceiling which took everyone ' s weapons and Skywalker arm from them . When Kenobi and Piell used the force to hold back the commando droids , cody , rex and their men took them head on , but to no avail . Fortunately , Skywalker was able to turn off the magnets and gave everyone their weapons . Cody and the team reached where Piell ' s Captain , Wilhuff Tarkin and the other officers were being held . Kenobi and Skywalker then decide , in order to protect the information , to split up with Rex , ARC Troopers Echo , Fives , Skywalker and Ahsoka taking Tarkin while Cody and Kenobi took Piell with them . As Kenobi ' s team escaped , Cody and one of his troopers planted explosives along the way . Kenobi then set them off and Cody and the team made their escape . During their escape they met up with Skywalker ' s team and Arc Trooper Echo , was killed . The ship they were going to escape in was also destroyed . Cody and team then contacted the jedi council , who sent master Plo Koon to rescue them at an island in the middle of a lava pit . On their way there Master Even Piell was killed during a firefight with droids . The rest of the survivors climbed aboard Master Plo ' s gunship and made it away safely . Battle of Umbara . When Umbara defected to the Separatists , Cody and his 212th Battalion went with Generals Kenobi , Skywalker Saesee Tiin , and Pong Krell to take Umbara ' s capital . Cody and his battalion fought hard against the Umbaran militia to take the capital , despite the long range missiles and Krell , who was secretly sabotaging their efforts . A result of these sabotages was the death of Cody ' s longtime comrade Waxer . Despite these setbacks , Cody , Kenobi , and the 212th were able take the capital . Battle of Kiros . After the Separatists occupied the Togruta colony world of Kiros , Cody went with Generals Kenobi , Skywalker , Commander Ahsoka and Captain Rex to liberate that world . After Kenobi and Skywalker ' s BARC speeders made their way to the separatist headquarters in the Governor ' s tower , Cody brought up the AT - TEs and the AT - RTs to surround the Headquarters . Cody ' s men were in charge of finding and destroying the rest of the droids , particularly Cody ' s best man Boil . Cody then got a message from the Zygerrian Separatist Commander , Darts D ' Nar , who wanted to negotiate terms of surrender . After Skywalker took the message from Cody and destroyed it in frustration , Cody and Skywalker waited for Kenobi to negotiate D ' nar ' s surrender . D ' nar then set off a bomb , which wounded a couple of his troopers . Commander Cody then continued to hold his position as Skywalker and Ahsoka disable bombs around the city . Though they liberated the world , disable the bombs and captured D ' nar along with his ship , the Togrutas were taken into slavery by the Zygerrians . Facing Grievous aboard " Negotiator " . Later on Cody accompanied Kenobi aboard the Venator - class " Negotiator " . Cody was about to rescue Ahsoka , who was taken captive by pirate gang leader Hondo Ohnaka while she was with six Jedi Initiate s back from a mission on planet Ilum , aboard the " Crucible " . However , the rescue plan failed , as Grievous and his forces launched an all - out attack on Kenobi ' s fleet . Cody went to the hangar of the destroyer , where Grievous ' s ship landed , and tried to take up the fight with the Separatist forces . They however had to retreat , and watch in horror as Grievous killed the remaining troopers one by one . He and Kenobi managed to injure Grievous lightly , and escape . As the ship could not be saved , he and Kenobi activated the ship ' s self - destruct mechanism , and along with the remaining clone forces escaped in escape pods . Grievous finally managed to leave the doomed star destroyer . Other battles . The following months took Cody to dozens of worlds — Rendili , Kooriva , Cato Neimoidia , Maramere , Boz Pity and Sarrish , just to name a few — as the fighting intensified . Cody and Kenobi developed as close a relationship as was allowed after months of fighting side - by - side . In an effort to bring the war to an early conclusion , the Republic launched an assault on Cato Neimoidia , home to Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray ' s redoubt . As the battle to capture Viceroy Gunray ' s majestic redoubt raged , Cody ' s Squad Seven , led by Jedi Generals Obi - Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker , managed to penetrate the Separatist ' s inner - defenses and fought its way into the complex . While they were unable to capture the Viceroy himself , they were able to capture vital intelligence . In his hurry to evacuate the redoubt , Gunray left behind his mechno - chair , from the which the Republic was able to learn of the coming Separatist attack on the planet Belderone . In what was publicly announced as an effort to bring a swift end to the war , Supreme Chancellor Palpatine committed an additional 200 , 000 troopers to the Outer Rim Sieges . Commander Cody ' s 7th Sky Corps was among the thousands of divisions reassigned to the battles raging in the Rim . When Kenobi was sent to investigate a Separatist presence on Utapau , he took Commander Cody and his 212th Attack Battalion with him . As it turns out , Utapau was acting as a temporary safe haven for the Separatist Council , with General Grievous and his droid armies acting as their protectors . Battle of Utapau . During the Battle of Utapau , Commander Cody led his team of men into Pau City , along with Parjai Squad and various other paratrooping squads . During the attack , Kenobi dropped his lightsaber , which hit the ground in front of him , and he would later return it to the General . As Obi - Wan engaged Grievous in a fierce lightsaber duel , Cody battled the droid forces . It was during the fighting that he received Order 66 via an encrypted channel from the Supreme Chancellor . Despite being comrades - in - arms with Kenobi , Cody ' s loyalty was suppressed by his clone indoctrination . In response , Cody ordered one of his AT - TEs to fire at Kenobi and his varactyl mount , Boga , causing the two to plummet to the bottom of the sinkhole . Cody , all too aware of Jedi prowess , was not convinced of Kenobi ' s death , and sent Arakyd Prowler 1000 probe droids into the catacombs beneath Pau City to look for him . After following through with Palpatine ' s orders , he rallied his troops , and within the hour the Separatists were routed and Pau City was under Republic control . Cody ' s fears were confirmed when he was informed by a lieutenant that General Grievous ' s personal starfighter had fled the planet . Cody readied his troops to pursue the Separatist Council , which in the confusion of battle had managed to slip away . Post - Clone Wars . Imperial Career . Soon after Order 66 , Palpatine ' s rise to power was completed with his ascension as Emperor of the first Galactic Empire . As a result of the Grand Army ' s reorganization into the Stormtrooper Corps , Commander Cody and the remaining clone troopers who survived the Clone Wars composed the first generation of Imperial stormtroopers . Ultimately , Cody remained in service to the New Order for years . In that time , he witnessed the rise in recruitment of birth - born Humans as enlisted troopers , which in turn led to the decline and marginalization of the original Jango Fett clones . By the year 1 BBY , Commander Cody was in charge of an Imperial Battalion that was stationed in Timira City , one of the cloning facilities located on his homeworld of Kamino . In addition to providing security to the facility , he regularly tested his soldiers with drill exercises , only to be profoundly disappointed by the enlisted troopers under his command . Likewise , the men were not particularly fond of the Commander ' s leadership style . One recruit expressed his disdain — a sentiment shared by his comrades — for patrol duty . To the troopers , patrolling Timira City was not only unnecessary due to Kamino ' s heavily fortified condition ; it was extremely aggravating because of the seemingly endless rain and thunderstorms . In sum , the inhospitable climate conditions of Kamino and Cody ' s bitter attitude produced a significantly low troop morale among the men . Around the same time , the Imperials failed to prevent one of Darth Vader ' s test subjects — a rogue clone of the original Starkiller — from escaping Kamino in the Dark Lord ' s own TIE fighter . The clone later returned at the head of the Alliance Fleet , hence resulting in the Assault on Kamino . The Imperial garrison in Timira City was ultimately wiped out and Vader himself was captured by the Rebel Alliance , thus marking the Rebellion ' s first major victory in the Galactic Civil War , and leaving Cody ' s fate ambiguous . Armor and gear . After his additional training , Cody customized his armor , and wore several different versions . Early in the Clone Wars , he used a set of Phase I clone trooper armor that featured a visor , antennas , a small flood light , and orange stripes . Later , Cody was known to have worn at least two similar sets of Phase II armor . One featured two antennae coming from each of his oversized shoulder pads . With this set of armor , Cody also wore a holster on his belt that carried a small blaster pistol and a large jetpack . This set of armor also had orange stripes . Cody ' s other set of Phase II armor had a slightly different orange striped paint job , as well as two gray stripes coming down the sides of the top of his helmet . This set of armor also had a small tool attached to the upper arm piece , only one antenna on the shoulder pads with one on the back of his helmet , and a smaller , oval shaped jetpack . Also , Cody has Imperial - like rank markings adorning the left side of his breast - plate , which signify his rank of Clone marshal commander . Cody is best known for his usage of the Dc - 15x instead of dual pistols . Personality and traits . A loyal and no - nonsense commander , Cody shared easy camaraderie with General Kenobi . His battlefield exploits and good leadership skills had earned him respect of both clones and Jedi alike . Cody was a cautious trooper and a brilliant strategist , leading the 212th to victory after victory . He was often teamed up with Captain Rex and enjoyed a friendship with him . Cody possessed especially excellent close combat skills , often incorporating body slams , kicks and punches against his enemies besides using his blaster . Cody is also well versed in hand - to - hand fights , and was able to knock out Slick with a single punch . Cody is extremely proficient with blasters . His preference for a standard blaster over dual DC - 17 hand blaster s allow him to make precision shots at longer ranges . Cody has received additional training as a commander , and was capable of headshotting enemies without steadying his blaster with his second hand . He was also able to shoot a barrel which Obi - wan kenobi had thrown at high speeds , and take down multiple droids a considerable distance away with rapid , well - placed shots . Cody also shot the blaster out of another person ' s hand before he could react , showing excellent reflexes and coordination . Cody has shown a strong dislike for standard Commander gear such as kamas or chest pauldrons , instead choosing to incorporate various unorthodox gear , such as a jetpack , laser sight and vibroknife , on his armor . While Cody had developed a sense of respect for those who considered him as a friend , like most other clones , his thoroughly ingrained loyalty to the Republic was the dominating trait of his character . Later in his life , Cody became cynical and bitter because of the changes that were introduced by the New Order , specifically the alterations to the Imperial Military . Though a proud veteran of the Clone Wars , Cody felt nothing except contempt for the Stormtrooper Corps . As one of the last remaining clones of Jango Fett , he felt isolated and alone in his hatred for the birth - born human recruits who came to dominate the ranks of a military that was once the exclusive province of Fett ' s progeny . From Cody ' s point of view , enlisted personnel were inferior soldiers compared to the original clone troopers . He regarded the former Grand Army of the Republic as a once truly incredible fighting force , and so he resented the reforms which he believed to be responsible for a significant decrease in the combat effectiveness of the Grand Army ' s Imperial successor . Thus he developed a sense of nostalgia for his past as a commander of clone troopers ; enlisted stormtroopers were nothing other than expendable resources to him . Furthermore , Cody also felt that his low regard for birth - born troopers would have been shared by his genetic template , Jango Fett , had he still been alive . Ultimately , Cody was convinced that Fett would have killed the enlisted troops if he had lived to see what had become of his legacy . Behind the scenes . Commander Cody , along with every other clone , was played by Temuera Morrison — the same actor who played Jango Fett — in " " , Andrew Chaikin in the , André Sogliuzzo in the " " cartoon , and Dee Bradley Baker in " " . Cody ' s name is a tribute to the character , also known as the Rocket Man , hence his jetpack . Cody is the only Clone Trooper to be given a name in the films . In " " , Cody assists Obi - Wan Kenobi in confronting Grievous . In the end , Cody ' s blaster is knocked out of his hand by Grievous , who subsequently kills Cody . Kenobi uses the fallen trooper ' s blaster to kill the General , though in the movie , Cody was nowhere near Grievous and Obi - Wan ' s battle , as he was leading the troops in the battle and Obi - Wan killed Grievous with his own blaster . Cody ' s appearance in the game is also used for all the other clone commanders that appear in the game . His minifigure in the game is a LEGO Star Corps Trooper . In " The Clone Wars " episode " The Hidden Enemy " , Cody is mistakenly referred to as a captain by Kenobi , due to a script change in which Kenobi was originally talking to Captain Rex .
