The Clone Wars Headcannons they probably deserve; pt. 4/6
Hey, okay. I’ve done the disaster trio, now I guess I’d better do the third (fourth?) unwilling wheel to this roller-coaster of a Jedi lineage.
I mean, how can you blame me when Rex is
The Unpaid Therapist. The Responsible Brother. The Mr “Sir no not another—- oh there he goes. *sigh*. Come on, boys”.
Ahsoka’s little brother with big time “older brother vibes”.
He seems like a workaholic, but surprisingly knows what a rest day is better than, say, General Kenobi, or heaven forbid, Cody. (He has General Skywalker to thank for this)
Rex seems like a cinnamon roll kind of guy. (Yes I know he’s a sweetheart, no I mean he likes eating cinnamon rolls kinda guy)
Is absolutely the reason the 501st, General, and Commander remember to eat/drink on missions.
I can see him wanting to learn a musical instrument, maybe piano - or the harmonica. Not very good at it, but gives it an earnest go anyway.
His favourite Older Brother is Cody, sorry Skywalker.
Everyone in the 501st (thanks to Rex, no Cody did not ask) knows to look out for General Kenobi during joint company missions. Hey, he got hit by a blaster shot *one* time on our watch, and we never heard the end of it from Cody after that. It’s not our fault he’s a danger magnet with no sense of self-preservation! Where do you think Skywalker got it from??
When picking out his name, he chose “Rex” because it sounded snappy, fierce, and brave. It was only later that he discovered it was part of the name of a 30-foot-something tall prehistoric lizard. No he does not enjoy being called “T-Rex”.
BONUS: Cody knows this. Cody doesn’t care.
Vanilla is his favourite flavour. They’re both classics for a reason, okay?
In a modern AU, most of his wardrobe is 501st blue hoodies with Jaig eyes on the chest. Plus muscle top hoodies and basic muscle tops.
Rex gives the perfect hug. Just the right amount of warmth and squeeze. Ahsoka likes Rex hugs. Rex likes Ahsoka hugs. (Again, sorry Skywalker. You don’t get included in this.)
