Doodle from when @jhaernyl was over~ (I have some old and some new drawings on paper that I’m gonna be posting) The Obi-Wan picture is supposed to be drawn on a gunship (but I kinda forgot to draw it)
Anakin’s ongoing adventures in shipping his ex Master and his Captain. This should be a series
The Essential Guide to Warfare states that aberrant clones represented just 3.5 procent of each batch but since one clone batch count 32, that means 1 of 32 clones has undesirable mutation or is deficient. And that is result of cloning from original source (Jango’s DNA) – a result seen as a testament to the effectiveness of the slow-and-steady Kaminoan cloning program.
I’m no specialist of how genetics works nor what Kaminoan can and cannot do with human DNA, but blond hair is nothing unusual in Jango Fett’s family, since his mother and sister were both blond haired women in Jango Fett: Open Seasons comics:
What I think opens a gate to speculations of what genes Jango’s carried and about his ancestors. Author’s cuts from Warfare were posted on starwars.com and there was one called Internal memo penned by Hali Ke, senior research geneticist, in which the cloner said he have now logged many sessions with our prime clone Jango Fett,
and from the text it seems Jango get not only
physical but also psychological exam
of his well-being what included also talking about his childhood to some degree, at least.
So I suspect, the moment when Kaminoans found a clone with blond hair, it wasn’t that big deal, because they expected that some of their “products” gonna be aberrant one way or another. What may explain why there is the blond clone cadet in the group – the
statistical error.
Rex could be too the statistical error, for all we know. And maybe he is (and his brothers) just telling everyone that his hair are dyed, as an excuse for his different look? Especially now, when clone troopers are allowed to dye their hair, as a sign of their individuality? Otherwise Rex would be forced to admit he is an error of otherwise perfect cloning system, what I think that may be quite an awful & personal thing to do for him.
Can you imagine that? Being seen as aberrant, an error from birth, then being sent for reconditioning, without
certainty
if that means just some genetic therapy or termination – and some clones never came back after Kaminoans took them – that for sure have effect on Rex. Remember “Darkness on Umbara”?
It’s not that “crazy”. After all it was
established that clones can have different eye color because of slight
mutation (Trap’s being blue for example) Same might happen with hair. Of
course it doesn’t mean that all clones have different hair colors
because of those mutations. I’m pretty sure most of them really dyed
their hair to express their individuality. Still, I like to think, Rex
is a natural blond. There is no proof saying otherwise.
And the only time we were shown he dyed his hair it was in blue. He also
was so embarassed by it he shaved them off completely.
The wookieepedia says Rex and the adults clones who looked blonde
had their hair bleached. At least, that’s the case with Rex and Crys. Hotshot
(the clone kid), is described simply as blond so I think @anpan-chan might be
right. Maybe the
older clones look more like Jango but, as the Kaminoans had
to improvise, the newer batches were born more diverse. Btw, I couldn’t find
any reliable source confirming Rex’s natural hair color, so maybe I’m not that
crazy…yay!lol
Rex [about Dogma]: He’s wound tight, but he’s loyal.
Anakin: He kind of reminds me of you.
Rex: Maybe, back in the day.
Rex we know from TCW is not the same man when war just started. I kinda like the idea of him being the “statistical error” because its add to the comradeship between Rex and Skywalker, since both are the aberrant
of their respective groups – Jedi and Great Army of Republic. And who knows, maybe this is one of little things that made them so close to each other?
Also, if the blond hair is natural, Rex may shave them out of habit, as a way to minimalize his visible aberration from other clones.
Vader remembers Rex, Cody, Fives and Echo.
I’m not crying, you’re crying!!!!!
Jango Fett was the genetic template of the clone troopers from the GAR and Boba Fett, an unaltered clone of himself, whom he raised as his son. After Jango’s death, Boba would follow his father’s steps, becoming a famous bounty hunter. [x] [x]
Thank you for asking!! And to put things in context for other, this is about my tags in this post.
I’m not good at writing things but I’ll try to do my best 😀
……
So, Fives finds Kix in that bar and asks him to contact Rex and Anakin.
We see that there’s a security droid following him, but there is somebody who’s following him too, that’s Shadow (my OC). Shadow destroys the droid and meets Fives in together they plan everything: Fives has to fake his death and escape to a place where the Republic won’t find him. They call Rex and Fox and tell them about their plan, Fox agrees because, despite his work, he never fully trusted Palpatine. They tell him where they are and that’s how the Coruscant Guard finds the place where Fives was.
Fives loves giving dramatic speeches, so there wasn’t much problem with that. Fox managed to get a fake blaster that only damaged Fives’ armor. And Rex has lived that scene so many times with other brothers that the acting just came naturally for him.
Shadow was hiding in the back of the room and when Fives had “died” she came into scene and after some crying, she asked that she should be the one to take Fives body to the medical center in Coruscant and Anakin agreed, but Rex should go with her.
She then sends Fives to another ship that was already waiting for him with Captain Hope (another OC) who was already told about the plan.
She goes to the medical center with Rex and using some credits she had saved, and some mind force tricks, she “convinces” the medics there to be fake a report for Palpatine.
Then she goes to meet with Fives and takes him to a planet in the Unknown Regions, near the Wild Space, where she had been taking clones who wanted to desert since the beginning of the war, Fives will be safe there.
………
I think I should try to learn how to write correctly so I can make a story out of this. I have two versions that might happen after this, one where they succeed in telling everybody about the chips and the orders and another one where they don’t and it happens exactly like we see in canon. There’s also another story I had thought about for my OC where Fives really dies, but I think I will talk about it in a future post because here FIVES IS ALIVE!
Thank you for asking about this! ❤ And I apologize for not giving a better story, I really need to practice writing, but this kind of helps? I guess??
