Can’t wait for it to be revealed that Fives was wearing a blasterproof vest and all his “dead” thing was just part of an act planned by him and Rex to fool Palpatine and save the galaxy afterwards

I’ve been thinking and I have more ideas.

Fives had contacted Rex before and they planned everything to help him scape. He needed it to be convincing and he likes drama™ so they had to make something BIG. Rex called Fox and convinced him to help them. Fox used a fake blaster and it only damaged Fives’ armor and Fives used the force to hide his presence (he is force sensitive fight me on this) and make Anakin think he died so it’ll be more realistic for everybody else. Rex is a great actor btw, and Fives? He loves to give those dramatic speeches.

At the end he managed to escape and tell the rest of the galaxy about Palpatine’s plans and everyone believed him and that’s how Fives saved everybody and become the Greatest Hero in the galaxy.
