Rex (Star Wars)/Relationships

The relationships of Rex from the Star Wars franchise.
==Friends and Allies==
===Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader===
During the Clone Wars, Rex and Anakin led the 501st and fought together side by side against the Separatists, Rex is very respectful to his general and obeyed his orders usually without question. He was one of the very few individuals that was Anakin trusted with knowledge of his secret marriage to Padmé, and would often cover for them when they had their secret meetings. The last time Rex and Anakin saw each other was Anakin promoting Rex to commander so he could lead the 332nd Company to lay a siege on Mandalore before the latter rushed to go rescue Chancellor Palpatine from Count Dooku and General Grievous. It is unknown if Rex is aware that his general had turned into a Sith Lord by the time of the Galactic Civil War. During his time fighting with the rebels, Rex recall all the best things his general did as the greatest of the Jedi and recalled all of the thing he showed and taught Rex.
===Ahsoka Tano===
Rex first met Ahsoka during the Battle of Christophsis, when she was assigned to Anakin Skywalker as his apprentice, throughout the Clone Wars the two became good friends.
Initially, Ahsoka believed that because she was a Jedi and he was a captain, that she outranked him, but Rex told her that experience outranks everything; he soon developed a high level of respect for her, as the captain became somewhat of another mentor to Ahsoka, particularly in warfare. The two often saved each other's lives during the Clone Wars and shared a friendly bond similar to the bond Ahsoka shared with Anakin, but not quite as close. Nearing the end of the Clone Wars, Rex also held a high degree of trust in her, being one of the few people that were doubtful of her being guilty of committing murder and bombing the Jedi Temple. He was possibly saddened over her departure from the Jedi Order. When Ahsoka returned to get the Republic to lay a siege on Mandalore, Rex was willingly to serve under her command again and had the 332nd Company paint their helmets to honor his friend. After the Siege of Mandalore, when Order 66 was commenced, Ahsoka was horrified to see Rex and the other clones turn against her. However, Rex managed to slightly resist the programming of his chip and told Ahsoka to "find Fives" before she escaped from being executed. Ahsoka soon discovered clone trooper Fives's investigation of the clones' inhibitor chips, promoting her to save her longtime friend by removing his chip. After his chip was removed, Rex was forced to kill several of his brothers to save Ahsoka and apologized for nearly killing her and she forgave him before the two worked together in fighting their former comrades and escaping. Before confronting a number of troops at the hangar of their cruiser, Rex was consoled by Ahsoka as he cried when he said that they have to kill their comrades in order to escape by telling him he's a good soldier and that's why she does not want to kill any of their former friends. Luckily, they managed to survive their attempted executions, gave their deceased former comrades proper burials, faked their deaths, and went on their separate ways.
When meeting the Ghost crew, Rex told them that any friend of Ahsoka's is a friend of his, showing he still values her as a friend. After Rex decided to join the Rebel Alliance and help them fight against the Galactic Empire, Rex was reunited with Ahsoka where he complimented on much she's grown before sharing an embrace with her. When Ahsoka went on a mission to Malachor with Ezra Bridger and Kanan Jarrus, Ahsoka spoke with Rex through a hologram where she assured him she and her comrades will be fine despite Rex wanting to go on the mission. When Rex remarks that experience always outranks everything (a callback to their very first conversation), Ahsoka replies that if that were the case, then she definitely outranks him now, making Rex smile before he wishes her luck. Later, when Ezra and Kanan return from Malachor without Ahsoka, Rex was deeply saddened when he learned of Ahsoka's apparent death on Malachor.
===Obi-Wan Kenobi===
During the Clone Wars, Rex and Obi-Wan worked with each other on some of their missions together, Obi-Wan agreed with Cody that Rex is a smart man and believes that he always thinks on his feet. The last time Rex and Obi-Wan saw each other was before Rex left to help Ahsoka during the Siege of Mandalore and Obi-Wan going to fight General Grievous on Utapau.
Years later, Rex learned from Bail Organa that Obi-Wan had been killed, though Organa knew of Obi-Wan being alive and had covered up his survival during Order 66. Believing Organa, Rex was very sad and devastated to hear of Obi-Wan's death which actually came true when Obi-Wan was killed by Darth Vader on the Death Star.
=== R2-D2 ===
During the Clone Wars, Rex and R2 work with each other on some of their missions together.
Although the extend of their friendship is unknown the cancelled Top Gun Episode arc were going to have Rex and R2 team up.
===Ezra Bridger===
Rex serves as a grandfather-figure to Ezra, while Ezra finds Rex very interesting because of his past as a soldier and being in the Clone Wars. While Kanan refuses to trust Rex, Ezra believes they can, he also becomes somewhat of another mentor to Ezra, particularly in warfare.
===Kanan Jarrus===
Kanan was initially distrustful and hostile towards Rex and his fellow clones; due to the events of Order 66, when they went undercover as stormtroopers to rescue Ezra, Commander Sato, and his crew, they managed to work together well in a way reminiscent of the clone troopers and their Jedi Generals during the Clone Wars. After this, Kanan finally put his animosity towards clones behind him when he gave Rex a salute of respect, which the captain gladly returned.
===Agent Kallus===
Rex and Kallus initially started out as enemies; Kallus regarded the clone troopers to be obsolete and not a real threat whereas Rex bravely goaded Kallus after refusing to stand down or give up the rebels he was aiding. Kallus chose to make an example of Rex and his men, only to underestimate them and be sent running with his tail between his legs.
Later, when Garazeb Orrelios indirectly recruited Kallus into the Rebel Alliance, going under the codename "Fulcrum", becoming one of the rebellion's informants, the two would become allies.
===Leia Organa===
One of his main Rebel commanders, Bail's adoptive daughter, and the biological daughter of Anakin and Padme. Fought alongside her during the Battle of Endor. It unknown if Rex knew about Leia being the daughter of the general and friend he served during the Clone Wars.
==Enemies==
===Sheev Palpatine/Darth Sidious===
Like Anakin Skywalker at first, Rex respected and admired Palpatine for his clean slate, however, unlike his Jedi General, his respect for the Supreme Chancellor was never to the point of having a blind spot for him. When Fives told him and Anakin about Palpatine's role in a conspiracy involving the bio-chips implanted in the clone trooper brains, Rex was able to discover the truth from his last words, and promptly removed his bio-chip, as well as convincing Wolffe and Gregor to do the same. Rex hated Palpatine for using everybody for his own selfish purposes and discarding them after they are no longer useful and manipulating both sides against each other. Rex made a vow to join the rebellion against Palpatine's tyranny and avenge everyone who were killed by him and manipulated into doing his dirty work.
===Pong Krell===
Rex initially respected Pong for his victories, this respect was gradually lost during the Battle of Umbra by Pong's arrogance and disrespect for him, and his men, things came to a head when they fought each other. When Kreel was imprisioned, Pong revealed his true colors as a power-hungry sadist who loathed the Clones as "creatures bred in some laboratory" and who had turned traitor.
