Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series concluded on May 4th on Disney+ with arguably some the best episodes of the show's run and to raving reviews. Captain Rex of the 501st, one of the show's primary characters along with Ahsoka Tano, carried the final arc to the show's conclusion. Fans of Star Wars Rebels know that he appeared in the series as an older version of himself and now, there's a rumor that Rex will appear in the second season of The Mandalorian along with Ahsoka and Sabine Wren. This is due to the fact that Temuera Morrison, who first appeared in 2002's Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, will return to play Boba Fettand could easily perform double-duty as iconic clone trooper Rex.

To capitalize on the successful conclusion of The Clone Wars, and to further celebrate this character who we could see in live-action in the near future, merchandise for this iconic character is understandably in demand.
