Rex is first seen during the battle of Christophsis assisting Anakin Skywalker in taking down Separatist tri-droids as they advanced on the Republic position. Shortly after he is first introduced to padawan Ahsoka Tano who would later become a lifelong friend. The two exchange a brief conversation before the Separatists attack again, this time with a deflector shield which will render their heavy cannons useless.

While Anakin and Ahsoka embark on a mission to take out the deflector shield, Rex and his men are left to slow down the advancing droid army with the help of Obi-Wan Kenobi to prevent them from destroying the heavy cannons, which are their only hope for victory. However shortly after Rex and Obi-wan engage the droids the two get separated and Rex’s unit is largely wiped out in the attack. Rex and his remaining men fall back to their final defensive position. Just as the droid army is about to overwhelm them, Anakin and Ahsoka successfully destroy the deflector shield protecting the droid army causing the shield to disappear. Rex then quickly orders the heavy cannons to fire at the enemy, destroying it and winning the battle.

Rex and the 501st Legion then follow Anakin and Ahsoka to the Teth system to rescue the son of Jabba the Hutt who was reportedly seen on a monastery on the planet by Republic scouts. While the group attempts to land on the monastery, enemy fire from the monastery forces them to land much farther away and scale the side of the monastery with ascension cables.

After the group secures the monetary and find Jabba the Hut’s son, they are ambushed by Separatist reinforcements led by Asajj Ventress, who is the sith apprentice of Count Dooku. The group is quickly overwhelmed and forced to flee inside the monastery and lock the door. Rex then agrees to hold off the droids with his remaining troops while Anakin and Ashoka find another way to escape. Ventress and her droids eventually cut the lock on the door and a quick fight ensues before Rex and his squad are defeated. Rex pretends to be dead. Thinking the battle is won, Ventress begins conversing with one of her commanders. Rex then quietly picks up one of his blasters and aims at her head, but his shot is blocked by Ventress’s commander who accidentally walks in front of the shot. Ventress quickly uses the force to disarm Rex and uses a force mind control on Rex to try to get him to disclose where Anakin and Jabba’s son went. Rex gives in and contacts Anakin and asks for his location. Anakin realizes the trick and does not respond. Rex and the few men that were not killed in the attack are then taken prisoner.

Shortly after Rex is taken captive by the battle droid, he receives a call from Anakin. Unable to answer it, it continues to beep which draws the fascination of one of the droids guarding him. As he walks over, Rex overpowers the droid seizing its blaster. The other clone prisoners do the same resulting in another battle. This time Obi-Wan and Commander Cody arrive with reinforcements to help Rex defeat the droids and secure the monastery.

After the battle of Teth in a season one story arc, Rex was assigned to inspect several outposts in the Outer Rim alongside Commander Cody. One of these outposts was located on the Rishi moon which was located next to the clone home planet of Kamino. The two landed on the base platform and began to walk inside when they were greeted by a Separatist commando droid disguised as a clone trooper. Unbeknownst to Rex and Cody, the base had just been taken over moments ago by the Separatists forcing the remaining clone staff to flee the base. Rex quickly sees through the disguise shooting the droid in the head and sparking a firefight with other commando droids who had spread themselves out along the platform they were on. The fight is short as the commando droids throw thermal detonators at Rex and Cody’s ship forcing the two to hang off the platform with their accession cables before the detonators could explode.

Rex and Cody then meet clone troopers Echo, Heavy, and Fives, three clones that survived the takeover of the Rishi base. Using a broken off commando droid head to trick the camera at the front blast door, Rex along with Cody, Echo, Fives, and Heavy secure the base. However, after securing the base, the group notices a large enemy fleet in orbit which they presume is headed to their home planet of Kamino. As the Separatists send down more reinforcements in an attempt to take the base back, Rex suggests blowing up the base in order to alert the Republic of the incoming invasion. Rex works with Echo to prepare some explosives while Cody, Heavy, and Fives slow down the enemy reinforcements and lure them into the base. Rex attempts to rig a remote for the explosives but runs out of time. He hands the remote to Heavy who promises to fix it. While Rex and the others flee the base, Heavy is forced to set off the bombs manually killing himself and destroying the base. This action successfully draws the attention of the Republic fleet who then rushes in to repel the enemy invasion force. After Rex and the group are picked up by LAAT gunships, Rex and Cody decide to honor Echo and Fives and give them positions inside the 501st legion.

After hearing of a loss in the Fallen system, Rex, Anakin, and Ahsoka move their fleet to protect the system of Bothawui from the droid General Grievous. While Anakin led the fighter squadron and Ahsoka commanded the cruisers, Rex prepared an ambush with the fleet’s AT-TE walkers on several asteroids that surrounded the planet. As General Grievous moved through the asteroids expecting an attack from the front, Rex and his AT-TE attacked from behind destroying Grievous’s entire fleet.

During the battle with Grevious’s fleet, Anakin’s starfighter was badly damaged, prompting Rex to go out and save him. Rex brought him to the fleet’s medical bay where they realized that Anakin’s droid R2-D2 was gone. Around this same time, Obi-Wan reported that General Grievous has a new listening post that allows him to intercept Republic transmissions and learn of Republic attacks before they happen. Anakin, Rex, and Ahsoka decided to search for it. Anakin decides to scout ahead in his fighter while Rex and Ahsoka stay behind on the cruisers. Shortly after departing, Rex and Ahsoka begin to pick up the tracking beacon on Anakin’s ship that was activated by Anakin’s replacement droid R3-S6. Realizing that Grevious could also detect this beacon, Rex and Ahsoka get into a ship and go after him. They manage to find Anakin in the middle of a dogfight with Grievous’s fleet and barley manage to rescue him without being killed themselves by Grievous.

Shortly after they escape, they receive a message from R2-D2 leading them to General Grievous’s spy station. Rex, Anakin, Ahsoka, R3-S6, and a small squadron of clone troopers locate and infiltrate the base with the intent to both recuse R2-D2 and blow up the spy station. Upon entering the base Anakin decides to search for R2 alone leaving Rex, Ahsoka, and the clones to blow up the station by placing charges on the main reactor. Upon reaching the door of the main reactor, the group finds that it is locked. Ahsoka has R3-S6 try to open it. However, R3 is secretly a separatist spy and stalls the group until a squad of battle droids arrives. Stuck in between a hallway with battle droids on both sides, Rex, Ahsoka, and the clones engage in a battle desperately trying to shoot at the droids from both sides of the hallway. Ahsoka gives Rex the ok to use droid poppers, which he uses the clear out the battle droids in both directions. Grievous finds the group shortly after and attacks them. After quickly knocking out Ahsoka, Grevious attacks Rex and the clones killing everyone except for Rex and a clone named Denal. However, Rex and Denal are knocked unconscious by Grevious. As Grievous moves in to kill Rex, Ahsoka regains consciousness and blocks the attack.

When Rex and Denal regain consciousness, they contact Ahsoka to confirm that they are still planning on blowing up the reactors. Ahsoka, who is still currently hiding from Grievous, gives them the ok and they proceed to plant the bombs on the reactor. Once they finished planting the bombs, they head to one of the station’s hangers where they met up with Anakin who had found R2-D2. Anakin questions Rex on the whereabouts of Ahsoka and Rex explains that she has engaged General Grievous. Anakin is frightened by this and Rex offers to take him to her. But when they reach the hanger door, R3-S6 closes it, trapping them in the hanger. He then activates several Vulture Droids in the hanger and the group scrambles for cover as a fight breaks out. During the fight, Rex is instructed by Anakin to blow up the station despite them still being inside of it. Rex agrees and the station begins to fall out of the sky. Eventually, R2-D2 is able to open the hanger doors, Ahsoka is able to make it to the main hanger after barely escaping Grievous, and everyone makes it out alive.
