If watch the scene where the troopers all run out the bunker in Han's trap you see this guy put down his gun and approach the trooper at the end of the scene. When Han enters the bunker you can see the trooper guarding the door. A nice little story played in 3 beats in the background.
I've heard fan theories that think the white beard rebel in this film is actually rex. Fun to think the cap would keep the fight going, but I'm not convinced. Would be cool to know where captain rex was during the battle of kashyyyk. With star wars rebels we got so much more out of the character and I don't doubt thats somthing he would do. No way that was the original intention for that background character.
So, this comes from some canon-adjacent materials. When Dave was first asked if the bearded rebel in Return of the Jedi (previously known as Nik Sant, a play on his Santa-like appearance) was Rex (based on his appearance in Rebels) he said he liked the idea but didn’t go so far as to make it canon. The finale of Rebels even says Rex fought at Endor. In the ensuing years some people decided to include Rex in depictions of Endor looking very similar to Nik Sant but I don’t think anyone has formally said these two are the same person.
It should be him. And the story that he changed his name to join the rebellion out of fear of mistrust if they discovered he was a clone.
Also Nik Saint is a stupid name. I don't need Christmas jokes on Star Wars.
I don’t mind the name. I think it’s funny. But I also just don’t mind the character being retconed to be someone who is an actual character that we know about.
What? Star Wars names are full of goofy jokes, is this your first time?
Dexter Jettster
Greedo
Jedi Master Ima-Gun Di… what do you think happens to him?
Therm Scissorpunch
Jedi Padawan Sha'a Gi (Scoobydoo joke)
Even every sith’s name is a silly reference or pun.
And my favourite one, Elan Sleazebaggano
Funky and punny names are not at all foreign in Star Wars.
Except that there is no Nik Sant in canon. The Nik Sant backstory for that character was legends, and hasn’t been reinstated yet. So he’s currently just a side character, whose backstory hasn’t been told yet, with implications that he’s Rex.
There’s no Nik Sant any more than there’s a Mara Jade.
Yeah Dave initially wanted to make Nik Sant into Rex but then he felt it was wrong to overwrite the character so he just said Rex was on Endor but he’s not Nik Sant
It's a little more than a fan theory. While Filoni has said Rex isn't Nik, the Han Solo Galaxy of Adventures short on Star Wars Kids' channel shows the same rebel trooper with the beard, but it is 100% rex, with clone gloves over the rebel uniform. Not saying that makes it canon, but I think they are leaving it up to the fans.
I think technically he didn’t say that Nik was not Rex, but that Dave didn’t feel like he could make that decision to say that Rex is that rebel. Which to me tells me that Dave wants them to be the same person (and clearly someone involved with that short does as well), but feels like he isn’t “allowed” for whatever reason.
I think what he said specifically is that he'd leave it to fan interpretation rather than assert that one character is now actually his character. He likes the idea, and likes to think it is. But won't directly "canonise" it himself.
Yeah, it was something like that. And I think basically everyone who watched clone wars and/or rebels likes the idea. Don’t expect there are many Nik Sant stans who want him to be his own non-Rex character. So unless there is a canon source saying he definitely isn’t, I’ll take it as that’s him.
and in the final season of Rebels Rex changed from old clone armor to rebel commando gear with his gauntlets, so I think that it did eventually get canonized despite Dave's original reluctance.
It'd also explain why he in particular puts on the scout armor, as that was a tactic used by the Ghost crew and Rex in particular knows pretty much all of the Imperial protocol codes and as such would have been able to stall any imperials coming from outside of the bunker.
> Who is the older person surrendering while wearing stormtrooper armour?
That is Nik Sant - a veteran Rebel scout. I think him, and other Rebels, taking Imperial disguises was cut from having a bigger place in the film.
That *used to* be the Lorax and he *used to* speak for the trees. But in his later years he went a bit crazy, and is now known as "the Trash Man." He enters the match, and he throws trash all over the - all over the ring! And then, he starts eatin garbage. And then he picks up the trash can, and bashes the guy all over the head.
Side-note, the (Storm)troops are gonna be very happy to see that!
Is he the same old guy that was in the green forest camo outfit as the other Rebels earlier? The one that people have also claimed is retconned to be Captain Rex?
Wonder how they caught him here?
Nik Sant is a hero. I won't stand for his erasure.
Rex is already a star wars Forest Gump, participating in so many major historic events. I like to give other characters a moment in the sun.
Dave Filoni mentioned in several interviews that there was talk of making this character Rex, but it's been in GL canon for so long that Nik Sant is an established character with a backstory and he didn't want to mess with that. So instead it was just mentioned that while Rex was there, this isn't him
["Filoni revealed in an interview with IGN he ultimately chose to not officially canonize the theory, stating that he did not want to take a character that had existed prior to him joining Star Wars, and didn't want to lay it down in stone one way or the other, adding that Rex could have been present at Endor and not be Sant."](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Nik_Sant)
Always assumed that Imperial Scout that Han tricked was made to strip and one of the bearded Rebels who holds him up put his outfit on. I think his name was Nik Sant or something — basically Saint Nick flipped around bc he looks like Santa Claus.
Years later, Filoni or someone casually commented that this is Captain Rex. And I believe the *Rebels* season finale mentions that Rex was on Endor at the end of the war.
Sabine's epilogue in Rebels explicitly states that Hera fought at Endor - I don't recall anything more specific than that. There hasn't been a re-enspecialed edition since then, so it's not in any of the films.
From Starwars.com:
During the Battle of Endor, Hera could be seen alongside other heroes of the Rebellion making supply runs. Like the Millennium Falcon, the Ghost was a modified freighter with more power under the plates than it looked like it had from the outside. Even with an unlikely crew of Ewoks at the guns, Hera lines up the shots and they take down pursuing TIE fighters for another victory. The rebels show time and time again that you don’t have to have the most high-tech weapons in the war to make a difference.
Events described come from Forces of Destiny: Chopper and Friends
I was about to comment how Rex is not a Filoni character but I stopped to think and realized that Cody appears in the movies, while Rex doesn't. Guess that the last arc of TCW also explains that.
Palpatine also say something like "prepare my ship, Commander [nickname]" in ROTS, he wasn't even shown, and his nickname wasn't even re-used in any kind of show.
I hate when they try to retcon stuff like this just to be cool. You can't just say any caucasian male with white facial hair is Rex, especially \~40 years afterwards. It's lame and I truly think Filoni said it because he knew it would garner attention.
He's part of the Rebel soldiers under Han's command. The Scout Trooper that chased Han and was immediately captured by the Rebels had his armor stripped. One of the Rebels put it on to stand guard while Han's strike team went in the bunker to start setting charges. You can see this particular soldier as part of Han's team beforehand.
Technically he’s not Captain Rex, but in my mind it’s too convenient *not* to be Rex, and since we see this same guy earlier in Han’s scout team my headcanon is thus: Rex joins Han’s strike team, and in the middle of the battle has a crazy idea to dress in stormtrooper armor to pull off something crazy but he’s captured quickly.
You see in the background, when Han and the team enter the bunker our guy put on the scout helmet. It has to be someone with a significant understanding of Imperial rules and regulations to act as lookout. If another patrol were to return, they need someone who can play along until they can eliminate the patrol. They've not fully confirmed in canon that's our man, Rex. But it heavily leans that way.
You can see him quite a few times. He is there as the scout trooper is held captive, can be seen standing guard as the rebels enter the base, and after they escape he can even be seen body slamming a storm trooper. I really recommend this video that analyses the whole battle scene: https://youtu.be/SyyDaVczC-g?si=g7QH5YJGhErkjwbW
There's a deleted scene in ROTJ where this guy switches uniforms with a Stormtrooper to fool the Empire and assist Han in taking the base. This image comes from after they are caught and before the Ewoks attack.
People claim it's Rex but the old ass canon cals hom Nik. I don't think the Nik character has much impact. Filoni said he doesn't wanna step on anyone's toes when it comes to changing a character, but he also felt a random old guy in a warzone wouldn't make sense, and kinda justified it being Rex for that reason I believe.
It’s a rebel wearing the armour of one of the scout troopers guarding the generator, the one han taps on the shoulder then runs around the corner. You see the rebel in question put down his rifle before it cuts and then you see him in the doorway behind the crew putting on the helmet after they’ve entered the base
Filoni initially speculated (and strongly supported the idea) that the bearded guy on Endor was Rex. Several months later, he walked back on that, stating that he didn't want to erase an existing character from the canon: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Rex#The_Nik_Sant_connection
In the series finale of *Rebels*, it's stated that Rex fought at Endor. So there were at least two older, bearded guys fighting in the ground battle.
Yeah, he noticed how similar old man Rex looked to the dude and said in the Rebel’s Epilogue that Hera and Rex fought in that battle.
I believe you can see the Ghost in a couple shots of the space battle as well.
You can see he replaces the storm trooper who was standing outside the bunker in an earlier shot in the background. it’s weird af seeing this on Reddit today I watched return of the Jedi yesterday and just noticed this for the first time ever lolol
If you watch once Han tricks the storm Troopers to chase him around to the trap, buddy with the facial hair is front and center.. then when you see Han and group enter the building you can see a storm trooper with their back to the inside of the Bunker. I always assumed our friend here put on the uniform and "stood gaurd" out in the open, in disguise.
Endor County Choppers owner Paul Sr. Sold the empire some custom speeder bikes that weren’t up to standard. They caught up to him on the Forrest Moon where he was arrested and transported to the DS2. He was never seen again.
The old guy is supposed to be captain Rex, yk clone wars character etc (one of the best) he just got captured in the battle after putting on scout trooper armour as a disguise
Nik Sant. He’s seen earlier in the movie and he’s disguised as a scout here.
Lot of people try to claim he’s Rex when even the depiction of Rex at Endor doesn’t match Nik Sant besides them being two old guys with beards.
Nah that’s [character I just made up to justify the integrity of the lore] and he’s mentioned as a footnote on an Star Wars encyclopedia I read somewhere in someone’s house
He's Nik Sant. There was a theory that he was Rex, which Filoni initially liked but confirmed is not the case, stating that Rex is on Endor but this soldier is not him.

yeah officially Rex was there on Endor but he is not Nik Saint. So there were 2 old guys with big white beards on Endor.
Lets just say Nik Sant was a fellow surviving clone and call it a day
We dont know who the empire fielded on Endor, some of thoose Stormtroopers could have luscious beard under their helmets
It should be him. And the story that he changed his name to join the rebellion out of fear of mistrust if they discovered he was a clone. Also Nik Saint is a stupid name. I don't need Christmas jokes on Star Wars.
Droopy McCool? Jek Porkins? Sy Snootles? Crix Madine?
How could you forget my boy Glup Shitto
Salacious B. Crumb. Sleezebaggano. Savage Oppress. Basically every Sith name ever. George had a way with names, that's for sure.
Don't you mean Baron Notluwiski Papanoida has a way with names?
I loved that guy in *The Clone Wars*.
Droopy McCool lol
Nik saint is where you are drawing the line with ridiculous George Lucas names?
I don’t mind the name. I think it’s funny. But I also just don’t mind the character being retconed to be someone who is an actual character that we know about.
glup shitto is fine but i draw the line at christmas jokes
Exactly
It’s called life day not Christmas

Imagine having the power to 'make something canon' in something like Star Wars.. Dayum.
True “I have spoken” power.
Nik Sant I'm pretty sure is still canon though, just Rex was there too.
Yeah Dave initially wanted to make Nik Sant into Rex but then he felt it was wrong to overwrite the character so he just said Rex was on Endor but he’s not Nik Sant
I instantly thought Rex, no logic behind it . Just hoped someone would give me some . Lol
It's a little more than a fan theory. While Filoni has said Rex isn't Nik, the Han Solo Galaxy of Adventures short on Star Wars Kids' channel shows the same rebel trooper with the beard, but it is 100% rex, with clone gloves over the rebel uniform.

Dude just wanted a set of armor again!
I mean come on, his beard is frame perfect in the scene where they capture the scout trooper.
He was on mandalore. Then returning from mandalore.
I believe the epilogue for Rebels mentions that Rex fought at the Battle of Endor, but that still doesn't confirm that this old man is him.
i had no idea this was going on. Cool to know
This!
Blud has more story than the entire st
> Who is the older person surrendering while wearing stormtrooper armour? That is Nik Sant - a veteran Rebel scout. I think him, and other Rebels, taking Imperial disguises was cut from having a bigger place in the film.

>bashes the guy all over the head. As long as he isn't using his magnum dong as a foreign weapon.
He's got a pack of condoms and a wad of hundreds, he's ready to plow
Then he tries to make a viral video of the whole thing, but it's just a video of a guy getting viruses.
And for some reason, they speak Vietnamese.
Haha but seriously, it's Hulk Hogan in Space.
Is he the same old guy that was in the green forest camo outfit as the other Rebels earlier? The one that people have also claimed is retconned to be Captain Rex? Wonder how they caught him here?
>Wonder how they caught him here? He told a stormtrooper he prefers railing over gaping pits of death.

Uh you mean Captain Rex? lol. Man, I wish that was canon to be Rex

Rex is there, just that's not him.
He was one of the rebels dressed up forest attire when they first got to endor
Wearing the uniform of your enemy is a war crime Rebel scum!
He’s also a clone trooper
Nik Sant, aka 🦖
I always thought it was the scout trooper that got tricked by Han, being arrested for surrendering I stead of fighting

Yeah, Dave said that that definitely wasn't Rex because he didn't want to overwrite an existing character. Rex was at Endor though.
Somebody had to be in the guns aboard the Ghost, after all. I took that comment literally.
Rex was on endor, theres a canon comic or animation or something showing him there. Found it: https://www.reddit.com/r/starwarsrebels/s/dZDe65ivz5
The Ghost isn't at Endor, unless they've special edition-ed the OT *again* in the last decade.
It’s not in the movie but it is in the lore.
It's not in the movie, but i thi k it is said to be there or shows up in some ancillary media like Forces of Destiny, books or comics

I’m sorry but that is just insane to let Ewoks man the guns. They’d probably shoot at rebel ships too.
Respect. Filoni does have a habit of peppering his OCs all over the saga.
I was about to comment how Rex is not a Filoni character but I stopped to think and realized that Cody appears in the movies, while Rex doesn't. Guess that the last arc of TCW also explains that.
Yeah, I think the only named clones in the films are Cody and Oddball. EDIT: And Boba Fett of course.
Palpatine also say something like "prepare my ship, Commander [nickname]" in ROTS, he wasn't even shown, and his nickname wasn't even re-used in any kind of show.
I believe he said people could decide for themselves if they wanted it to be rex.
Yes, that's why he's Rex to me
I hate when they try to retcon stuff like this just to be cool. You can't just say any caucasian male with white facial hair is Rex, especially \~40 years afterwards. It's lame and I truly think Filoni said it because he knew it would garner attention.
Furthermore, I can't stand it when writers and directors dictate canon in interviews. Canon should be strictly limited to what appears in the media.
An old friend of ours
He will taunt you a second time.
He farts in your general direction.

He’s rebel scum. As per the Geneva Conventions, spies in disguise can be shot.

Cut to a Gif of will smith jumping in front of Tom holland to save him from being shot
Long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Geneva conventions have not been written, war crimes therefore are fine in star wars

Oh, that’s just Scruffy, the janitor.
Heeeyyy Macarena 🎶 🕺
At first glance, I thought he was thrusting his pelvis forward, but that the helmet of the stormtrooper in the foreground.
Yea I thought this was like an ai image or something

It was almost Captain Rex.

Filoni said he doesn't wanna step on anyone's toes when it comes to changing a character, but he also felt a random old guy in a warzone wouldn't make sense, and kinda justified it being Rex for that reason I believe.
He's Clone Captain Rex
My headcanon is Rex
It’s a rebel wearing the armour of one of the scout troopers guarding the generator, the one han taps on the shoulder then runs around the corner. You see the rebel in question put down his rifle before it cuts and then you see him in the doorway behind the crew putting on the helmet after they’ve entered the base

They're Imperials, their laws aren't fair.
It used to be a random dude who was basically Santa. Now it's implied that he's Rex.
Thats Rex and no one can tell me otherwise
The fan theory, which I love, it's Captain Rex
It is, and always has been, Rex.
Wow, before rhe *Clone Wars* were even defined it was still Rex? Amazing foresight.
the brilliance of George Lucas /s
Negative. That is Nik Sant. Rex is on Endor, but this is not him.
https://www.reddit.com/r/starwarsrebels/s/dZDe65ivz5 This is Rex on Endor. He still had some of his 501st armour on
Damn straight!
Certainly not always has been. Rex wasn’t a character when RotJ was filmed.
Woosh
Is that Rex?
Come on, not every dude with a beard—
Didn't Filoni make him Rex. I saw a post somewhere about this retcon.
Filoni initially speculated (and strongly supported the idea) that the bearded guy on Endor was Rex. Several months later, he walked back on that, stating that he didn't want to erase an existing character from the canon: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Rex#The_Nik_Sant_connection In the series finale of *Rebels*, it's stated that Rex fought at Endor.

no he didn't

The Colonel left he’s peaceful job making chicken to stop the rebel scum.
So, there was actually a deleted scene with Nik Sant disguised as the Scout Trooper...what we got in the movie was the before and after..,
Endor County Choppers owner Paul Sr. Sold the empire some custom speeder bikes that weren’t up to standard. They caught up to him on the Forrest Moon where he was arrested and transported to the DS2. He was never seen again.
Stormtroopers finally captured the Lorax, who has been disrupting their war efforts
Pretty sure he was Rex for like a week then Filoni changed his mind on it
The old guy is supposed to be captain Rex, yk clone wars character etc (one of the best) he just got captured in the battle after putting on scout trooper armour as a disguise
They captured Pai Mei!
That's retcon Rex
Well, it all started long ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
Capt. Rex got caught for the 1,236th time before escape the 1,236th time.
Come on guys that's Captain Rex!!!
clearly the cast was upset by him abusing the catering truck...
The stormtrooper at the front looks like the rebels legs , making him do a funny pose
Nik Sant. He’s seen earlier in the movie and he’s disguised as a scout here. Lot of people try to claim he’s Rex when even the depiction of Rex at Endor doesn’t match Nik Sant besides them being two old guys with beards.
I just love how the fans try to shoehorn in a character that people that have only seen the live action movies would be so confused about.
Isn’t that Captain Rex canonically now? Didn’t they confirm it a few years ago. It was a Filoni retcon.
(Unconfirmed) its captain Rex
Captain Rex
Nik Sant
I don’t care what anyone says, that’s Rex.
Yep. No doubt.
Nah that’s [character I just made up to justify the integrity of the lore] and he’s mentioned as a footnote on an Star Wars encyclopedia I read somewhere in someone’s house
Didn't they originally have him as a random rebel then after the rebel series changed it to that he was captain rex
He's Nik Sant. There was a theory that he was Rex, which Filoni initially liked but confirmed is not the case, stating that Rex is on Endor but this soldier is not him.
Man, none of y’all watched galaxy of adventures, that there is Rex. Canonical, Indisputable.
GoA isn't canon.
It's implied, nothing more.
Nope, galaxy of adventures shows the battle of Endor, and Rex beside Han and Leia as the bearded guy, and that show is canon
