Captain Rex? The droid from Star Tours? Interesting...
Star Tours Rex was my first thought as well. I think it woul dactually be awesome if it turns out to be him on the show. Nice way to tie everything in together.
According to The Cinema of George Lucas, the character was originally envisioned by George Lucas as a veteran of the Clone Wars called "Crazy Harry", before the idea of a rookie pilot droid was developed.
I wonder if there are going to be any rules reguarding the UPC's, because it'd be funny if someone sent Hasbro a bunch of UPC's with Jedi Master Points on them. Hopefully we won't have to buy "specially marked" UPC's because I've got about 20 sitting around right now.
I think it's just a recycled name. My guess is the figure will be a Clone Captain. Probably just a red "pre-paint" of the clone shown in the poster and teaser trailer for the series. I suppose the blue clone could be Captain Rex as well but who knows?
