Unidentified clone trooper commander ( Jedi Temple ) A clone trooper commander , in service with the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars , participated in under the command of the newly - christened Darth Vader . Biography . One of the many clones of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett , the clone trooper held the rank of commander during the final days of the Galactic Republic . In the opening stages of the Great Jedi Purge , he served under Darth Vader in the on the Jedi Temple . During this attack , he rendezvoused with Vader at the Jedi Archives . There , he was instructed to lead his troops and destroy the starships in the hangar , thus denying the Jedi a means of escape . When this had been accomplished , he contacted Vader once more via holoprojector , shortly before the Sith Lord ' s confrontation with Serra Keto and Cin Drallig . Vader subsequently ordered the commander to station troops at all exits to bar any civilian or Jedi from passing . In the aftermath of the attack , Vader , hoping to lure any Jedi survivors of Order 66 , programmed the Jedi beacon in the Jedi Temple central security station to request all Jedi to return to the Jedi Temple . When Obi - Wan Kenobi arrived at the Temple to deactivate the beacon , he encountered the clone commander in the Jedi Archives directing his contingent of troops to assemble in the northwestern tower . When Kenobi refused the clone commander ' s demands to surrender , the commander opened fire with his cluster grenade launcher and ordered his troops to attack . In the ensuing skirmish , he was killed by Kenobi , along with most of the soldiers in his command . Equipment . The commander ' s armor bore a resemblance to that of CC - 2224 ' s Phase II clone trooper armor , albeit with purple markings . In his confrontation with Obi - Wan Kenobi , he wielded a grenade launcher that launched cluster grenade s . The troopers under his command , beyond the standard blaster rifles , were also known to employ liberal use of shotguns , plasma disruptors , and repeating slugthrowers . Behind the scenes . The clone commander is an end - level boss during Obi - Wan Kenobi ' s story mode for the Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance versions of the video game adaptation of " " . His presence in the video game poses a slight point of contention , in that the clone commander of has been established to have been CC - 1119 , otherwise known as Appo , of the 501st Legion . Though no source has explicitly ruled out the involvement of another clone trooper commander , the purple markings of this clone commander ' s armor also contradicts the standard blue markings of the armor of the 501st Legion , implying that he and his troops did not belong to that particular legion , though other sources depict the 501st as the only unit to have partaken in the assault on the Jedi Temple . During the boss battle , the clone commander employs hit - and - run tactics , though as with other bosses in the game , he is programmed to attack in strict patterns . Two troopers wielding shotguns will attack in conjunction , and upon being defeated , the commander will reveal himself momentarily to fire his cluster grenade launcher alongside a bodyguard wielding a plasma disruptor , giving the player a window of opportunity to strike at him . Though the bodyguard stays behind indefinitely unless killed , the commander will withdraw to send out a new wave of two shotgunners . The cycle repeats itself until the commander is damaged enough times to be killed .
