I removed this from the other thread since it didn't belong.

That guy is, according to the latest issue of the SW Insider, Commander Deviss.

Wasn't he also called Commander Thire for a while?

Yes, for a while that is who people thought he was, right up until the Official Site said that Commander Thire is one of the Shocktroopers...

Commander Thire (http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/commanderthire/index.html)

(http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/commanderthire/img/movie_bg.jpg)

"A red-emblazoned shock trooper, Commander Thire was tasked by Emperor Palpatine to scour the lower levels of the Galactic Senate to find any traces of Jedi Master Yoda."

Thanx guys! ;D But why do u think that they left Thire regular, with no color or armor alterations?

I think this guy was suposed to be Commander Bly but changed his color to match the enviromanet of Felucia.
I think they didn't add any alterations to Thire because he wasn't that important
 But IDK

The CGI model of that Clone was intended to be Bly.  Lucas changed the color (I've heard no actual reason ever for the change, it was just done) to yellow...  Bly was born.

The Red Clone made it to pegs because it was already in production and they went with what LFL supplied them at the time (the red marking images).  Deviss was a name slapped to the red Hasbro Commander (and a backstory) via Pablo Hidalgo (LFL guy) who writes for the Insider FanClub mag.

The Green dude's got no name right now though, wonder if they will?

Maybe Thire's a sign of the armor-clad troopers further morphing into total conformity as we see the armor in the classic trilogy.

Also I think for Thire, since I heard that the Shocks and 501st were trained in Coruscant not in Kamino, that they do not signify their ranking. For example, Cody has a visor and a shoulder antenna. But I know in the military today would not allow you to do whatever with your uniform so I think of that for Thire and Appo.
