Number

Does anyone know where RC-1013 was first identified by number? I find it interesting that his number is one of the two famous in-joke numbers from the X-Files (along with 1121). jSarek 02:04, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Copy-edit and pre-nom review

I have copy-edited and reviewed this article at the request of Jedi Kasra. Objections and other notes are listed below:

  • "although both units were killed in the process": Not exactly sure what you mean here. If you're referring to Blue Squad and White Squad, then "killed" doesn't make sense; if you're referring to two individual clones or Trandoshans (the only way that "killed" makes sense), then please clarify that.
  • "The sergeant and Aiwha Squad were assigned under the Jedi General Traavis' command": "Assigned under" doesn't quite make sense. Try rewording (perhaps "assigned to" or "placed under"?).
  • The use of "1013" throughout the article to refer to the character seems informal; has he been canonically called that, without the "RC-" part? If not, either use the full designation, or call him "Sarge".
  • "As the droid was threatening the boy, 1013 got the attention of the spider droid and worked with his squad to destroy the droid.": Can you expand on the last part any? The "Orders" article seems to indicate that there's at least a little more to the story.
  • The "Orders" article contains this at the end of the plot summary: "Seeing the child crying and confused, Sarge explained the meaning behind Order 66—that the Jedi were traitors to the Republic who were to be killed—and reiterated his belief in obeying the orders given to him." If that's true, then it should be worked into this article.

Otherwise, the article looks good at 1,358 words. Let me know when these are taken care of. —MJ— Holocomm 04:03, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

All objections have been satisfied, so this is good to go. —MJ— Holocomm 05:17, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

RC-1013 can't be the leader of the unidentified squad

He isn't the leader of the unidentified squad, or he shouldn't be based on how it was determined he was, which is by armor from what I can tell. The red markings and the emblems on the armor in the story, "The Package", isn't the same as the red markings and lack of emblems on the armor in "Orders". Red Heathen (talk) 21:21, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

  • This is what I posted on the unidentified squad's page, if it helps: Maybe it's the comic that I'm reading, but I don't see the leader of RC-1013's clone commando squad named in the comic. This team originally was labelled as White Squad, then it was changed to Unidentified, then changed to RC-1013's. Can anyone provide info as to where this squad's leader is named as RC-1013? Is this a retro-fit? I know that RC-1013 appears in the next issue (four) of The Clone Wars Adventures, in the story "Orders" - where he is first named. In "Orders", he is in Aiwha Squad. Was it later published that RC-1013 was the leader of this squad in "The Package", or is it stated somewhere in the comic that I seem to be missing? Or is it an assumption that this is the same clone perhaps because of his armor? If the latter, can anyone please describe why this assumption was made because, although the marking on both are red, they are not the same. In "The Package", the squad leader has two red pauldrons, each with what appears to be a GAR emblem. In "Orders", RC-1013's armor has one red pauldron and has no emblems.

    • Looking into Sarge's entry in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, it says "Sarge and his men" fired on Traavis. Also, The Essential Guide to Warfare mentions that all clone squads had corporals as second in command. It would seem that at the very least the fact he was a clone sergeant and thus above a corporal would make him the squad leader, while I haven't checked the comic so I can't say related to that comic.

      • For other things, I've flagged this article for review, so you're welcome to add to the review page. Hopefully I helped with my response to your messages! Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 21:59, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
        • Traavis was shot in "Orders" (CWA 4), which is the story in which Sarge is named. We know Sarge was the leader of Aiwha squad in that story. My contention is that it seems to be assumed that Sarge is the leader of the unidentified unit in "The Package" (CWA 3), thus the name of that unit being RC-1013's squad. On that story's page, it lists Sarge as having his first appearance in it, but there is nothing that I can find that corroborates that the squad leader is Sarge. In Behind the Scenes is says that Sarge is named in "Orders", but for whatever reason, his name is assumed to be that squad's leader. I think this assumption is based on armor markings, but I don't know this for sure. If it is, then someone needs to look closer because the armors' markings are not the same. But again, yes, Sarge is the one who, along with his men in Aiwha squad, killed Traavis. Different story and different unit, though. I hope this makes better sense.
