Off-topic question about Rex
I'm really worried Captain Rex may die in this episode!!! His appearances list here on Wookiepedia says he will show up in this one. I know he's a great warrior and he's survived many battles but- In episode 3, the 501st is commanded by Appo. So... Does anyone know what will happen? :( —Unsigned comment by CloneCaptainRex (talk • contribs)
- First, talk pages are for discussing changes to the attached article, not for general discussion of the subject. However, I will give a quick answer to your concern: Rex only commands a company (namely Torrent Company), which is consistent with his rank of only captain. Entire legions (e.g. the 501st) are commanded by a commander (e.g. Appo). Therefore it is entirely possible for Rex to survive through Episode III. Please do not continue this discussion further.

Surveillance cam?
- In the Citadel, there is at least one device, I remember from Detention Block AA 23 in ANH, though I can't find the exact article of this device. The article of Detention Block AA 23 just states it as "surveillance equipment" with no link to an article at all. There's an article named Surveillance cam, which seems to be the right thing but has no picture and reference to ANH in the Appearances section, so I'm not sure... --Chimealheltei 11:23, February 19, 2011 (UTC)
- Also there are some self-shooting devices in that scene, which I remember to appear in Detention Block AA 23 in ANH and the practicing citadel in Clone Cadets. There're as well no links to an appropriate article on these pages. --Chimealheltei 11:23, February 19, 2011 (UTC)
- The Security scanner and Automated laser trap are the articles for those items. Feel free to crosslink as appropriate. DD97Which bear is best? 02:42, February 23, 2011 (UTC)
"Continuity Error"
Shouldn't something be said about the use of carbonite on organic beings in this episode? The whole reason Han Solo was frozen in "Empire Strikes Back" was so he could be a guinea pig, to see if someone could survive the freezing process for when Luke showed up. Anakin shouldn't know that it's possible to survive the carbon freezing process, because that negates that whole plot point from "Empire." --Promus Kaa(Subspace Comms)

Anakin may know it'll work, though Anakin did his best to try and forget his life as Anakin Skywalker after the accident on Mustafar and Padmé's death. However, if I recall correctly, it was Boba Fett who doubted Han would survive and Vader assured him that if Han did die, the Empire would make up the difference. I doubt Vader would just play freely with the Emperor's money unless he was sure he wouldn't have to give it to Boba Fett. Also, perhaps his adventure here gave Anakin/Vader the carbon freeze idea in the first place.
Also, I recall Vader saying he thought the carbon freezer at Bespin was rather primitive. That might have been also part of the reason they were testing it on Han. Because they weren't sure if that one would work without killing Luke. —Unsigned comment by 138.87.210.74 (talk • contribs)
In addition to the previous points, Han was in carbonite much longer than the characters of this episode. They were frozen for maybe a few hours, but Han was frozen for nearly a year. This would also explain why no one (other than Obi-Wan) mentioned experiencing blindness like Han did in ESB. Cwedin (talk) 03:18, August 18, 2014 (UTC)
Shipyards of Doom?
I've noticed how similar the plots of this episode and the Shipyards of Doom graphic novel are. Both feature the Jedi using carbonite to break into a Separatist facility, both have Ahsoka disobeying Anakin and going along with the mission, both have R2-D2 with battle droids on a stolen Separatist ship that is scanned for life, et cetera. However, one offhanded comment from Rex caught my attention: "I've never been carbon-frozen before, General," then Anakin replying "It's the first time for us too." This would seem to directly contradict the graphic novel. The graphic novel is also said to take place earlier in the war, with Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka having their old clothing. Would this evidence be sufficient to make Shipyards of Doom non-canon?--Shadow34 00:37, March 4, 2011 (UTC)
- I'm not familiar with the novel, but T-Canon (television canon) has the highest canon, next to G-Canon (George Canon; basically the movies). From what you're saying, I'm assuming that if the novel was originally canon and not fanon, it has been retconned. Been happening a lot lately because of the show. Korsa3 01:18, March 4, 2011 (UTC)
A little reference
Right before they all get carbon frozen Rex talks to Skywalker and tells him he has never been carbon frozen right? To which Anakin replies its his first time too. A little while later Rex comments that "He doesn't want to end up a wall decoration". Kinda obvious reference by the writers huh?—Unsigned comment by 84.50.59.124 (talk • contribs)
- It will be regarded as speculation unless you have a canonical source about the writers' intention.—TK-999

A secret
I heard From an interview on YouTube by Dave filoni that he said in the original Plot that fives was suppose to die instead of echo —Unsigned comment by Legomaster7171 (talk • contribs)
