But it was confirmed that he survived that blast in rebels, where he teams up with Rex and other “retired” clones hiding from the Empire. Gregor really died fighting the empire in against rebels, but not before telling Rex he was happy to fight for a cause he truly chose to believe in.

Scorch and the Republic Commandos
– Project War-Mantle posts clone commandos as instructors for conscript stormtroopers. It turns out that some of those commandos are familiar: the trooper with white and yellow armor and a bright blue visor is RC-1262 “Scorch”, one of the clone troopers from the Republic Command video game, which is no longer canon. But Scorch was later canonized again with a minor role in The Clone Wars season three episode “Witches of the Mist.”
– The idea of clone commandos (elite soldiers genetically modified somewhat from the Jango Fett template) were a big part of Legends cloning knowledge.
The Origin of TK Troopers
On the other side of the clone-conscript divide in the early days of the Empire are the human soldiers designated “TK”, which the Empire has amassed from across the galaxy. The Bad Party points out that they have no loyalty whatsoever to the Republic and are instead a blank slate to project the Empire’s ideals on and propagate them. The designation “TK” was used for stormtrooper callsigns from the beginning, popularized with “TK-421” in A new hope.
Death Star Connections
– Some of the music in this episode is reminiscent of the Death Star escape scenes in A new hope.
– Another thing War-Mantle shares with the Death Star is a thermal exhaust port, through which the Bad Batch try to escape. This same element allowed Luke Skywalker’s proton torpedo to break through the Death Star’s defenses and start the chain reaction that destroyed him. A new hope.
