We see fox for around 4 minutes 30 TOTAL in the show but there are a few things that really stand out to me and something that happens in the comics.

Fox doesn't bend to Anakin at the start until Anakin straight up pulls rank. Should Anakin have gotten in? No. Was he angry and an active threat to Fox's men? Probably. So Fox folds there and lets him in.

When Ahsoka "breaks out" Fox goes for the non-lethal option until she "kills" some clones at which point Anakin has to command Fox and his men not to use lethal force.

It's completely reactionary and with the speed and minimal protest Fox gives it's almost strange. Fox is scared of something but he cares greatly for his brothers.

So the question becomes: what is Fox so scared of?

He was willing to stand up to Anakin as a random commander but not as a Jedi. Does Fox know what damage can be dealt by a lightsaber? Does he think that all force users will kill as they please?

With that fear and that care in mind I ask you to take a look at Fives' death. Fox and company got there when Fives was begging. The were too late to hear the explanation but they heard him plead to be understood.

And what does Fox do?

He stops behind crates for a second when Fives doesn't even know he's there, he asks Fives to not fight back, he does not fire the first shot. He asks Fives more than once to surrender. Fives knew he was dead either way but there was no way for Fox to know that.

Or maybe he did and had a plan.

In the comic we can see the Corries march on the temple and some of them shoot at Vader thinking him to be a Jedi.

Fox pleads their ignorance, Fox pleads for them not to be punished for a mistake they did not make, Fox dies asking leniency for his men.

These are not the actions of a proud man who believes in his cause.

These are the actions of a man who has nothing left and no other actions he can take trying to keep his family alive at any cost but knowing he will never manage it anyway.

So have this thought instead.

The war happens for three years, as you may know, essential workers font usually get holidays off. This is anything from cops (boo) to nurses and EMS (yay), it's actually one of the busiest times of year for them. But the Jedi order is a RELIGIOUS order so they probably have celebrations as soon as they can have them. They'll hold festivals and get the clines to join in to give them a break and introduce them to their rituals.

But the corries?

I'm pretty sure he was a merc in a company and instead of the skull having heavy symbolism and meaning it's just that one of his buddies that he worked with had one and he though it was cool.

For those who don't know the basis it's pretty much one party couldn't retreat because their exit had been cut off and they had too many injured to carry so they were forced to stand their ground in a last stand against their opponents offensive. They won the fight and eventually got aid but I think it's a solid base for a fun fight scene.

I don't even mean Jason dies in the explosion I mean his throat is cut by the Batarang and he bleeds out. There's no way to deny that Bruce killed him.
